Utica University - FNP Online Program

Updated:   Published

Hi My Fellow Nurses,

My name is Letisha, and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I am seeking an online Family NP Program. I know about Frontier, Downstate and Utica College. Does anyone have any reviews about Utica's online FNP program? I know it's a relatively new program. Any info is very much appreciated!

Does anyone know about any assistance with finding preceptors. Has that been explained to anyone for the online FNP?? That is a concern for me as I am in the NYC area and the school is upstate.

You have to set up your own clinical sites but Utica will set up a contract for you once you have a clinical site

Hello everyone,

I just submitted the application for online FNP at Utica College. I was trying to find more information and only see FNP certification program. For those who are already enrolled, would you advise if you are in a certificate program or not? and if you can, please give me an insight on what to expect upon the start. Thanks

The school is not accredited yet if this is what your asking, they are suppose to secure accreditation by March/ April from what we have been told.

I just got accepted as well for Spring 2021. I am a little concerned about registering for classes and financial aid processing since classes starts on Monday. Each time I try registering myself, it says "campus restriction".

You should ask your coordinator to register you for classes since it is a last minute thing. 
mad for financial aid, contact the office. You can find their number online in the directory

Honestly I don’t remember. Maybe you should call the school and ask them. It’s been over a year, I don’t really remember the admission process details 

Do we need to pay for the 24 months tracking and 10 panel drug screen? Or its just the background check and finger print? Thanks in advance

No drug screens. Background check and fingerprinting

Hi everyone!

I was accepted into the FNP on a provisional basis, meaning I have to pay out of pocket for my first two classes NUR 588 and 603 and pass them with a B and then I will be fully admitted. I’m wondering if anyone else has ever been in this boat and if it’s worth it. I know my end goal is to be an FNP, but $6000 is a lot of money. Can any current students give me some insight on how those two classes are? And how the program is? Any advice/words of wisdom is greatly appreciated!

Hi Lindsey, 

I’m taking my first class and finished the first week. We had good amount of reading, 2 chapters, outside sources, video presentation, replies to students and the quiz. Very doable if you can manage your time. Some people take 2 courses in 8 weeks, some choose one at the time. 
school probably wants to see if you can handle based on your previous education. From what I see the first class is reading and application of néw information to your practice. Did u ever take any online undergrad courses? 
I think if you really want to become an NP you can totally do it. If you are employed full-time , some people suggest to do a class at the time. Both manageable but u might not have a lot of time outside of school and work. It’s time and financial sacrifice to make based on your situation
