Hello all! I am new to Allnurses and excited to be able to share info with so many people! (This is actually my first thread!)

I have applied to several schools for the PNP program, and was hoping for any and all feedback from current students. Some background- I have my BSN and currently work in the PICU. I have applied to University of South Florida, University of Florida, Medical University of South Carolina, Vanderbilt, University of Alabama, and Georgia State University. All start dates are Fall 2014.

Can anyone tell me about when I will hear back whether I was accepted or rejected from any of the above universities? Also, to any current students, what's the program like at your university? Do you feel it has prepared you adequately to practice as a PNP?

Finally, does anyone have any suggestions as to other PNP program I should consider? I am willing to relocate within reason... I am in the south eastern part of the country and would prefer to stay here due to my husband's job and family. I am open to online or on ground programs. I will eventually aim for my DNP but will consider BSN-MSN and BSN-DNP programs. Finally, I am not overly worried about cost... It is an investment I am willing to make.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

I would check with Vanderbilt and find out which course they offer that are specific to the PNP. At USF, PNP students take the same pathophysiology, the same adult health assessment, the same pharmacology, essentially they take the family or adult program. At the end, they take an extra pediatric course (Peds II) and then Special Topics for Pediatrics. I am graduating in August from USF with my FNP. It has been a big complaint from the PNPs.

Hello all, I am wondering how is your experience so far at USF? How many classes do you take per semester? how is the schedule? I am a new grad, I am wondering how much experience do you need before applying? thanks for any info;)

also, is the MSN FNP program at USF is face to face classes or online? do they help you find your preceptors?
