Hello everyone,

I’m considering this program and would like to know more if possible. How supportive was the program in securing clinical sites and preceptors? For those of you who have graduated, did you feel prepared for the board exam? Any trouble finding a job?

I was excited about joining but of course I’m starting to get nervous and unsure. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not at all helpful with landing a clinical site. Best advice is to get the list early and start calling and setting up interviews if you do not already have a place in Mind.

It’s like law school, even though you have you ever JD you aren’t fully prepared for bar exam. You need a prep or review course to succeed.

I already had a job lined up so I cannot speak to that.

Good luck!

Ever 2 months I think.

The NP sector is saturated in many parts of the US. And the pay is only a small amount more than an actual nurse who works in a critical unit, with any program, you have to find the preceptors. Understand why you want to do an NP, its much more responsibility, and if you are looking for easy schools, don't do it, because you will be the provider prescribing and diagnosing and could be making mistakes.

Don’t be afraid to pursue being a FNP due to failure. MD’s kill between 250-440K annually in the US and it’s the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.

Charting software and other tech advancements make a differential diagnosis much easier to come up with.

Plus as more states move to full autonomy there will be more and more jobs.

In some parts of California FNP are making less than RN. I have posted this and ads repeatedly on this site. Most RN make over 125k a year and the few ads for FNP are 99 - 120k. Sacramento has one of the worst np markets.
