Hello all! Just got my acceptance letter today for UC, nervous but excited at the same time to be going forward in my career! Any words of advice are greatly appreciated :-)
Hello!
I'm halfway through UC's online FNP program. I'm still working full-time with a nine-year-old and it's rough, but doable. My best advice is this: forget about a social life and a clean house! Other than that, if you have the resources, try to find a babysitter or family member that can take your toddler a few hours a day. Each class has 1-3 hours of lecture/ week to listen to, plus doing the readings, papers, and projects can add at least another 10 hours/week of study.
I don't know about you, but my brain can only do so much in a day, so I try to break it up into sessions and do a few hours every day, instead of trying to cram a week's worth of work into one or two days. Thankfully, my daughter is in school now, so I study in the mornings on days I don't work.
Definitely doable! (and don't buy most of the books!)

Thanks for the information!
About your comment on the books, how dI'd you manage to get your readings done without buying "most of the books"? Did you mean you didn't buy the book but found an online book to use?

Hi Guys-
I want to apply for the UC Online Program Starting Summer or Fall 2015. I have tried to look all over the place in the website for the deadline without any luck.
Do you guys happen to know when the deadlines might be for Summer/Fall 2015?
What can you guys tell me about the program?
Thanks in advance.
