UWF FNP

[SBE]

Looking for info about University of West Florida's FNP program!

Don't go. You pay to teach yourself, and the curriculum is inconsistent.

Oh no! Really? Aren't all NP schools self-taught? I really want to get in because it seems to be the cheapest school I can find

[Doodlemom7]

There is a reason why it is so cheap. I'm in my last semester here, and the reputation for this program in this area is not good.

I figured... An issue with reputation is very concerning, but with regards to it being self-taught, it seems like all programs are like that

I would suck it up just 'cuz it's so cheap but if it's gonna lose accreditation on me...

[Doodlemom7]

Nope, that's not true. I've talked with others and they are appalled at the fact that there is no instruction. I know UWF is trying to change things. But I have a coworker who went to UAB's MSN program, and he received live lectures from providers who specialized in the area that the students were currently learning about.

I don't need someone to teach me, I just need the degree. I can teach myself if its going to be $20000 cheaper.

[SBE]

Agreed 100%, but if they're gonna lose accreditation on us/they have such a bad reputation that we won't be able to get a job we're screwed

Did you complete the program? I'm 2 semesters away from graduating however the current professor I have is inconsistent and I believe is not grading fairly according to the rubric. Any advice?

What?! What area do you live in? I'm currently in the program myself.
