Has anyone else applied to USC's FNP program for Fall 2018? I am still waiting to hear if I have been accepted, but wanted to get other's thoughts on the program's lack of accreditation. How will this affect boards and obtaining a NP position after graduating? They state that they have applied for their CCNE accreditation, but this does not guarantee they will receive it.

I am with the program on my 2nd semester. Ask away.

Thank you renzlao!

Did you have to take the bridge program before? If so, was it difficult and how many weeks was it? Any words of wisdom if I am accepted? I wish you luck!

I did the bridge. 70% of the class did the bridge. It was doable. There's 2 in my class who didn't made it. The bridge is really helpful in advanced Patho. Right now, the details of what we are studying is very challenging and having a background of ,for example, signal transduction, in the bridge course, made it easier to study the major concepts in the 2nd semester. I'm doinf a part time program and I got to be honest, it feels like full time. With the asynchronous , weekly live sessions and homework, it's pretty much the only thing I do off work. The instructors arereally helfpul though, some are from UPenn and mostly are from John Hopkins.

I just finished my application last week for the fall 2018 FNP at USC. I live near LA so it will be really nice to be close to campus if I am accepted. USC has a great reputation & is well respected, so Im not worried about them not obtaining the CCNE accreditation :) Good Luck! I hope to hear something by the end of June. Keep us posted!

I was accepted! I feel so torn between the tuition and what is seemingly great academia.

Congratulations!

I just got my acceptance into the fall USC program for fNP. I am going to do the full time program.

Just got the confirmation that USC got there CCNE accreditation

I applied to Sept 2018 start date last week, they told me it can take 4 weeks or more to make it a decision. I don't think they have received all my official transcripts yet. I am super nervous, I am pretty certain they are accredited by CCNE as far as the admissions rep told me last week. Goodluck!

Congratulations on your acceptance! How many weeks did it take them to render a decision for you?? Did they call or email you the acceptance notification?
