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

I tried to double up on classes and was contacted and told I would be dropped from the second class I signed up for since it's not allowed. That was about five weeks ago.

I seriously doubt she doubled up her classes because I have requested over and over to double classes and was denied each and every time .

I guess back then, they could double up. Would’ve been nice if they allowed it now.

They stopped allowing it I believe, but I believe these were my first-year classes finished in 6 months.

Thanks for the reply. You’re right, they stopped allowing it.

Sucks. I spoke to a student advisor just now and she said they are not meant to be taken concurrently. I would’ve loved to finish in 1.5 yrs.

Yes I finished last year August. Working now as NP. I am from Seattle. If you need preceptors, ask for the list of clinics and start calling.

I'm in the program and looking for preceptors (in GA), I was told they don't give out a list of preceptors or previously used sites. Even though I was told before that they did.

WOW! that's crazy. I will see If I can find the list they gave me before. They used to give a list. I had to look here in Seattle though because the list is mostly for Cali, Vegas residents.

I’m in 561 but I have a few classes I transferred in from another MSN program so I don’t have to take 560, 565, or Patho. I should be done 12/21 if everything stays on schedule. How’s patho going?

I have not heard nice things about chamberlain. I currently know 5 of their students who are now in USU. Walden does not have a good reputation with most clinical sites. Most people say they are a diploma mill. Colorado technical university is currently being investigated due to misuse of funds (I would Google for more info). This is not to discourage you from attending the other schools. I am just passing on what I have heard. I am in my fifth class at USU and I would say my only complaint is that communication sucks. You ask the same question, but you get different answers from everyone. They do not help you secure clinical sites. I went this route because it was the cheapest I could find.

I went to Chamberlain for my BSN and it wasn't for me- so I changed over to Aspen and loved it. I can't speak for the FNP program but I do know the BSN program was difficult to navigate online. Aspen had wonderful advisors and professors. Many of whom also teach or have taught at other programs. USU is a sister school to Aspen.
