Well, I live in San Diego and have never heard of it. This is a for profit school. Why would you want to go here? Apply to reputable public and private non-profit schools.

Mam are you okay?

Why on earth are some of us so negative? Reputable? How many non profit schools are reputable?If you talking about United States University? You got it all wrong.You know what makes the school stand out?They don't lure students into signing a $10,000 loan to repay $50,000 later.Some professors are very strict.Because they want the best for their students.There are some other good qualities that make USU stand out trust me.Please whoever is ready to apply to USU, go ahead.You Will not regret doing so. Thank you.

There's always negativity towards newer private  schools such as USU. I graduated in December 2021 and I have passed my AANP FNP exam, as many of my fellow classmates did, on my first attempt. If you want to go spend $50K or more for a "reputable" school then by all means... go for it. My coworkers were doing their NP Program at a different school and we had the EXACT same D2L classroom and every discussion board was exactly the same but... their school was over $20K more expensive then USU.

That individual is like that on every post. It's giving me " I'm not happy at home and with who I am in life so I need to hop online to validate who I am."  People like that have very low self esteem, have been abused, and have low self worth so the only way they can feel good about themselves is through a school. I Pity her

I graduated December 2020.I am glad you are able to share some lights on the issues.Thank you

How did you like the school? I'm looking at them for my RN-BSN. I like the fact they're regionally and CCNE accredited.  And their price is reasonable.  I am following this lady on instagram who graduated from the school who is an FNP -injector .Her work is excellent  that's what made me look into the school

So I have been lurking and researching this topic and USU for the last 2.5 years. From what I can gather, most people who respond are happy they attended mostly due to price. Others felt they didn't get what they wanted out of the school. I realize going in that online programs require a lot from you as a student to be accountable for your own learning. The price is good, it is accredited, and I decided to go ahead and jump in. I start June 28th in just a couple weeks so I will try and comeback and update as I get some experience in the program!  

Hi did you ever find additional info or have enrolled? Currently looking. Thanks 

I am currently enrolled. I am just finishing up my first class this week. So far so good. Enrolling was easy. First class consists of 2 discussion posts per week, one quiz and then different assignments every other week or so. 

Awesome ! Congrats ! And thanks for your response. I was debating between national, Chamberlain, and USU. I find the payment plan for USU very beneficial. Also, I live  in CA so it’s nice to not have to travel to the Eastcoast for immersion weekend (USU immersion is in phoenix right?) I wasn’t finding much reviews for USU so I’m super grateful for this thread! Looking to apply and hopefully start by end of year 

Immersion is in San Diego I was told. I'm in southern utah so its only 6 hours from me. Also I liked the payment plan which is no interest and $375 per month. Also its 2 years vs. Chamberlains 2.5 years. 

I just noticed this Info on USU site:

* The PostMaster's certificates are not currently CCNE-

accredited but will be reviewed in the College of Nursing

and Health Science's next MSN accreditation cycle.
 

do you know if any updates about the FNP certificate program accreditation ? I know the institute is wasc accredited. Not sure how/what  it affects if the certificate program itself is not accredited?
