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 :-)

Renting isn't a bad way to go for sure, but many of the books I purchased, and I'm glad I did! I can reference them whenever!

Hi sparklie.lady! I am starting UC's online FNP program January 8 (yes, in 5 days)!! I'm so excited, but very nervous. I don't exactly know what to expect. How was the pathophysiology class? I've heard it can be a beast and requires a lot of studying. I do not have children, but need to work full-time during the program. I'm trying to figure out how much free time I will end up having after work and school :/ but I know it'll be worth it in the end! I also am curious how clinical placements work during the second year. How long/hard did you search for a preceptor? Did UC assist at all? Any websites out there that can help you find someone? Thanks so much!

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!)
