Univ. of S. Alabama: BSN-DNP Acute Care PNP Program Spring 2011

Published

I am entering the University of South Alabama's BSN to DNP program in the Spring 2011 class and starting the Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has experience with this program? Any information at all would be helpful!

Sincerely,

I just finished my 3rd semester... full time load is insane! Definitely buy 'required' books, but I have only used 1-2 of the 'recommended' ones in 3 semesters...

I have found all but 2 (out of 11 classes) of the instructors to be great... the two that weren't fall into the 'bad apple' category...

Good luck!

PS- on facebook, there is a USA DNP page with lots of helpful people, also an USA AACNP page but not as well used..

Lisa -

Do you happen to have any syllabi that you can share? I am interested in seeing what the courses this next semester have to offer, and hate that I am not able to see the syllabi until the course starts!

Thanks so much for your input, and let me know!

Sorry Jay - I don't check here very often... message me directly and I'll se what I can find.

Which classes?

the ED ones each have one major paper "Issues & Trends" - one has 4 tests (very straight forward!) and one Post/CP; the other has a series of TD (Post/CP)

The assessment class about killed me - video of yourself performing an exam (not exactly head to toe, not exactly a neuro) - I did not have the equipment to do thejob... by the time I got everything together ($$$), I had to rush thru the video; 4 tests - the last one was new material + some cumulative

to tell you the truth, I can't even remember what the 4th class was!

It's okay... I totally understand! I don't check very often either!

Thank you for the info... I was wondering about any and all of the courses you have taken so far?

Talk to you soon!

Sincerely,

Jay
