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 don’t like it honestly. The midterm was a mess and they don’t really help you when you ask questions. I’m mainly using osmosis .

Hi folks, thanks for this super helpful thread!

Two questions: did anyone transfer in credits from another MSN program, if so how many can you transfer?

Thanks,

Yes, I transferred 3 classes (9 credits) over from a previous MSN program. Not sure how many are able to transfer in.

Okay, I will be finishing my last BSN class on 9/28/2020. My loan will be paid off in 2022. I will then apply for the FNP program at USU.

Any tips on finding out if hospitals/clinics in my area would hire a FNP from there? Or is it all based on passing boards????? Should I call local HR departments? I live in Missouri but boarder Arkansas. Kansas, and Oklahoma so I would need to know every on of those states.

I am four classes in and the program is pretty good. Workload is comparable to my online BSN.

I attended USU because it is California approved and one of the most affordable FNP programs around. Payments are only $375 a month. I start clinical's in a few months and will update if anyone is interested.

Any specific question feel free to reach out.

Hi,

I am thinking about this program for my FNP, I live in northern California. How has the pandemic affected the program?

How are the clinical set up?

Thank you in advance,

@JMstudent I also live in Norcal and just applied to this program. What other FNP programs have you looked into? I also applied at Walden and WCU.

I don't know anything about any of these programs?

I just want to go to a NP Program that allows me to work and go to school and is accredited in California ?.

I'm starting USU FNP program September 1st. From what I have researched on other programs, this one seems to be the most "work friendly". At least for the first year. The second year, I plan on working 1-2 days/week (12 hr. shifts) and using my PTO that I will have saved over the year for my third day. This keeps me at a full time status during school. This program is accredited in California too. Hope this helps

@mludo, good for you! what state are you? Are you planning your clinicals with a preceptor ahead of time? I guess that's the real challenge..

@JMstudent there's a lot of factors to be considered in choosing a FNP program that is fit for you I.e money, duration of program, some have immersion days , some programs don't...I think WCU in SoCal has more support with looking for clinical areas that usually occurs on Year 2 and 3. I maybe wrong but most are really costly and USU looks like the most affordable

Hi guy's! I'm currently entering my second yr in the FNP program. Like many of you, I was searching for info and couldn't find anything. I saw that it was accredited and went from there. So far it has been great! Teacher's are available when needed and organized. I will start clinicals in March, so I'll provide updates later.

Hello have you graduated yet? Looking into applying to this..

Can you work full-time while going to USU for FNP, unless it is a clinical day I understand you would have to fully focus on clinical that given day.
