Has anyone done this program? I'm looking into it and it seems great but there are hardly any updates reviews. Thanks!

I am in 597/600 and will be finishing up the entire program in 3 weeks ?

I am SO Jealous. Mind telling me how hard the last class is? I think after this class I’m down to just 2 8 w courses

I am currently in my first course and although it’s challenging I am learning alot. Did any of you work your second year?

I work part time 3-4 days a week depending on clinic

How is the capstone? I need to know how bad it is! ? I will be graduating in December but that means I’ll be doing my Capstone for the holidays.

I work super limited hours as it’s my second year. Stay in there and complete the prompts as described. If it says 250 write at least 250 words.

Capstone course isn’t bad. You basically work through the capstone throughout the course and compile it at the end. Very manageable.

HESI exams are the worst part of the program...

All instructors want you to succeed which is super helpful.

@Mrskeene3 thanks so much for getting back to me! And yes I figured you were gonna be done this year! So exciting and I’m so jealous! Did you work? I plan on working my 3days/week for the first and will still try on my 2nd year! Unfortunately the bills continue! Do you think its doable?

Wow lucky you! How exciting!! @CANURSE999

Yea I’ve worked the whole time. If you have a job with PTO save it up!! I think it’s do able I’m required to work 2 d one week 3 the other but if I can work more I do cuz you’re right there’s still bills to pay. If you front load your clinic days in the beginning (like trying to go at least 3 a week) it will help you be able to work more towards the end cuz as soon as you hit 135 you’re good. I try to do mine at an even pace but some of my class mates took off 2-3 w of work to get it done which I think is overkill. Its all doable! The second year is 2 classes at a time but you’ll find out that really the “lab” portion is not bad just a lot of discussion boards but i usually knock it all out on Thursday night so I don’t have to keep logging on to respond. You can do it! Another big recommendation I have is seriously have multiple preceptors! You never know how clinic is going to go until you start and not all preceptors actually precept. Some just make you shadow the entire time but our program requires we actually do things it’s very conflicting and increases anxiety in my opinion. Good luck!

No one should try to talk bad about any school. There are pros and cons to most schools.

What is Hesi exams?

Do you have to do 135 hours every 8 weeks?
