University of South Alabama NP program

Published

Hi,

I am researching grad schools and became very interested in the University of South Alabama's ENP (dual FNP/ACNP) online program. I am interested in knowing how competitive the program is regarding acceptance. I have a GPA now of 3.3, 2.5 years ER experience in a level one trauma center, 1 year of trauma icu experience, 3 years of management experience, ACLS, PALS, TNCC and will have (hopefully) my CCRN cert when I apply. What are your thoughts considering the above information and your knowledge first or second hand on this university? Thank you for any information you can give.

Are you going to USA?

Specializes in ICU.

Yes, I will be attending USA.

Congratulations! Are you planning on continuing to work full-time? That is what I am trying to determine - not sure I can do both

Thanks! Are you starting the program too? Yes, I plan on working full-time. I can't afford not to, so I will figure it out as I go.

I won't find out until the end of May for the Fall program. Adult Geron Primary Care. I have to work full time too but I don't know how I will be able to study and maintain a B average once I get into the following fall semester with clinicals. I basically have one year to figure it out. I am trying to get a PRN weekend job now, so I will have something to fall back on. What type of work do you do now?

Good luck! Well, hopefully that gives you plenty of time to find a prn job. I'm really trying to avoid dropping down to part time because I lose my insurance if I do. I work in a medical ICU right now, so it's a little stressful at times. What about you?

Wow that is great! I just turned 50- been out of bedside nursing for a long time. I run a LTC facility. I got a PRN job in the ER and lasted one day- too hectic. So my plan is to stay in long term care and maybe work PRN in a clinic when I graduate from NP school.

I will definitely keep in touch!

Thanks this was helpful. I will be starting Fall 2016 and was discouraged by previous posts.

Hi which program? I hope to hear something this week

I will be in the FNP program. I received my letter Monday.

Congratulations!!!

Specializes in Pediatrics, Med-Surg, Infectious Disease.
