Hey 808 Medic-

I just applied to the USA ENP program for spring 2012. I have seen several posts on here from you and just had a few questions. I would love to hear what you think of the program so far as well as any suggestions you may have. I can't private message yet, but my email is M.Urquhart.RN@gmail.com, if you have a chance to shoot me an email I would love pick your brain a little!

Hey there, I also applied for Spring 2012 - although for the ACNP/Cardiology track. (still waiting to hear, it's driving me crazy!). Good luck on getting in and let's chat if we both get in! :)

I just started the first clinical semester of the FNP program. I am set to graduate December 2012. One piece of advice: start looking for preceptors early. A FNP is the first one your will need. It greatly helps to know one on a personal level.

hi blessed22,

i like to congratulate you on being accepted into the program! i started my program summer 2011 and since then i have really liked it. the good thing i like with online is that i do not have to drive to class and taking excuses from work or switching shifts. anyway, the advice i have for you is to try to complete your assignment early do not wait until the last minute before turning it in because the school has a mandatory policy of checking students’ papers for plagiarism, there is a link called turnitin that you are expected to turn in your papers before submitting it to your instructor sometimes, it takes 24hrs or longer before you get a response from them (turnitin.com). there is quite a bit of writing in most of the classes, a lot is expected from you as a graduate student in terms of writing. as a student of usa, you have the privilege of using all available resources provided by the school to help you succeed. there is a writing lab/ writing tutors, they help to evaluate students’ paper only if you turn in your papers to them. they usually give you constructive feedbacks with 24hrs. make them your friend if you have problem with writing.

feel free to contact me if you need more advice. i wish you all the best!
