Anybody else heard anything like plans to start a Family Nurse Practitioner MSN program? If so would you pursue your FNP through them?

Hi Salmo23,RN,

I decided I did not want to chance and wait blindly. I went on to another program. It would be nice to see FNP program get rolling though!

If you don’t mind me asking , but where did you decide to pursue your FNP? I also want to keep my options open . I’m scared I won’t get in a legitimate FNP program because of ’s pass or fail. I have some “not passed” on my transcript because of classes I didn’t finish on time ?

Was it difficult to get in ? I live in Texas, wonder if I can apply from Texas ?

Do you have to go to campus or have intensives/check offs??

My class has students from Texas. They do have annual summer intensives. You look for your own preceptors. You can check their website for admission requirements.

I just read the job posting on their website. I am curious which states the program will begin in. It states eventually, the program will be offered nationwide. By the sound of it, this is just the beginning stages of it. I wonder when the FNP program will actually begin...
