University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

I'm planning to apply for Spring entrance. BSN gpa 3.2 PICU 1 year, adolescent psych 1.5 years at this point.

Anyone have any info on their psych np program? Are my stats okay (nothing impressive I realize). Any info or feedback would be appreciated : )

I just got my acceptance letter for the DNP program. Blessedx3, I just sent you a PM.

I am in the DNP program first semester. It is not terrible, alot of work yes but doable. You can PM me if you like. If you have your mind set to do the DNP dont let others experiences talk you into it or out of it, remember why you applied and make your own decisions.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I tried to PM you but unable to. I would love all the advice you are willing to give...maybe some lessons learned?

I'm already thinking about the capstone project. For those of you that are already students, what aspects of psych do you plan to focus on?

How do I send you a PM?

I am in the USA FNP program.....there is not one of the 120 people still left that would attend this program...Seriously. Please PM me before making the decision to go. Now I can't speak for the Psych classes--but can for the classes leading to that point.

I too am interested in USA's DNP program.

I am a licensed FNP in California, but felt pressured to have the "DNP" for my teaching job. USA seems to be the most affordable and since it is mostly on-line it suits best for my current lifestyle. Searching through the treads, there are students that absolute recommends USA, and those who does not. Without going into specifics, could someone just post some experience since I can't PM anyone yet. Thank you.

Also, since I am a licensed FNP, how long would it take to complete the DNP program at USA, and does the school give advance credit? I searched in the USA FAQ and it does not address this question...and have yet to respond an reply e-mail from the school.

To anyone that has started this program:

I am a bit worried that psychopharmacology, genetics, nor biostatistics are not offered as part of the program. I want to make sure I am getting what I need to become a great FPMHNP. What are your thoughts? Is it covered in other courses?
