I think this is all dependent on the student. Are they going to hold your hand? I would say no. Is instruction the best? I would also say no. Problem is that its online with very little teacher interaction, therefore, you are on your own to study and take the quizzes, etc. If you "cheat" your way and just look up answers online, then is it your fault or theirs.

You have to be self disciplined. There are a lot of needless/useless forum posting that is mandatory for your grade (I don't think it adds much value since most just post to meet the requirements). Its up to you to decide if its right for you.

I totally understand this, but I am of the opinion that some valuable information needs to be taught at some point in the program. Its not all dependent on the student otherwise why pay for a degree when we could stay at home and read the textbooks ourselves and pass the boards. There is a reason why some schools have a 100 or 99% pass rate and some lower. The program needs to be structured right.

But like I have stated many times already. This ONLINE course gives you assignments to read, quizzes to do, posts to post, presentations to make. There isn't any online video where the teacher stands there and gives you information. If that is what you are looking for, maybe this (and likely most) online classes are not going to work for you.

Is okay to look at pass rates, but remember USU is trying to take that baby steps when it comes to FNP program. So pass rates might be on the low side for now.

No clue about other programs that are about the same price. CA BRN website list many approved schools. Not too many distance approved schools on there if I recall.

I just saw they removed the monthly payment plan, that is a real disappointment.

@china4mom @Sublyme_Ron I am starting October 29th also. Were you guys able to lock in the payment plan in time? I’m a bit nervous for the workload and balancing everything else. We should set up a Whatsapp group when the time comes.

Hi Zoe19,

I was able. I am also worried about the workload but more so during the clinical year.

For those students that are worried. These are the two meanings of FEAR."Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours."Some people do not have the courage to take the lowest level of English class, but you dare to obtain your college degree. Please take one day at a time. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

@Zoe19 yes. I'm really glad that I was able to lock-in the payment plan. My friends will also be starting on October 29th. I second the motion that we should create an FB group/Whatsapp group for support.?

@Gina1992 Thank you for your encouragement?

Hi, Im everyone, I am scheduled to start the fnp program on Oct 29th 2019 . I was thinking we should created a FB group or watsapp chat where we can post any questions we have and study material that was useful....
