Women's Health Nurse Practitioner School

Published

Hi fellow nurses,

 

I currently live in LA, California. I have decided to look into WHNP school, since the specialty really intrigues me. "I would greatly appreciate your assistance, advice, and any insights based on your experience with choosing a school for women's health practitioner training. What were the pros and cons of the school you attended or are currently attending? What aspects did you enjoy, and what obstacles or struggles did you face during your time there? Did the school assist with placements? How long was the program, and what was the cost? Did you have to attend in person a few times a year? Lastly, do you have any regrets about choosing this specialty?" Thank you all!

The two most important things are 1) make sure your school is accredited and is NOT a for profit school 2) they find your preceptors and clinical sites for you.  It will save you a lot of headaches, time, and not delay your graduation unless you already work in Women's Health and have personal connections that you can leverage for clinical sites and preceptors.
