Usa dnp program reviews

Has 12 years experience. I'm just curious if anyone has a review or comments on the school since being accepted????

The program seems perfect for my needs, allowing me to work while doing the program, and I even get to specialize in my field! But before I commit myself to a school like this although the tuition seems the most reasonable of those I've seen , I would love to get some feedback?

Dec 7, Has 4 years experience. Dec 12, I have had great interactions so far, and have heard great things about the Pediatric Programs, but would love to know more about how they do things as far as the format, clinical and invasive skills, etc?

Specializes in Oncology. Has 11 years experience. Jan 2, Can you comment on the negative aspects of FNP? I'm planning to apply this month. I can also apply to UAB too.

Jan 30, I am also thinking of applying to USA and would love to hear some feedback from some current students. Linda Hammonds, told me it wouldn't be counted and casually told me I would just need to finish another semester. I checked with the head of the program who clarified she was wrong. I ended up doing more than hours because my clinical advisor wouldn't accept hours that I was told they would. Some of the instructors are great and really want to see you succeed.

The school definitely has some policies that need to change compared to others. Some things at USA are ridiculous. The school has clinical affiliations that are no help.

You still have to find your own preceptors. Many of the places where the school has clinical affiliations still don't take students. The school has certain rules about clinical rotations that other schools don't require such as having to rotate through BOTH internal medicine and family practice rotations for the FNP program.

Many other schools give you a choice because both are still "primary care". This requirement makes it that much harder to find preceptors. There are also some courses where it doesn't matter what your overall course grade is, if you make less than a certain grade on an assignment, you can't continue in the program.

Just some things to think about. There are many other programs that don't have these requirements The college of nursing was still located on Springhill when I graduated in When I started work I was much more prepared than other new nurses who went to other local colleges, except Springhill.

It was a lot of work and it was hard but I'm glad I was at South. The writing classes were a shock to the system because they are so strict but once we got to clinicals and learning about how to manage diseases it was awesome.

Herf held online, live lectures on material for each section and really made things make sense. The power points were excellent except for a very few instructors. Turnham absolutely makes this program along with Prof. Turnham is the kindest, funniest instructor and I wish I could carry her around for pep talks. Almost immediately available by email. There are so many excellent instructors that I learned from. You do go to school twice for simulation lab and OSCE which is fun.

The process for getting paperwork turned in for clinicals was a little ridiculous but only because of the person in charge but that did not impede on my education.

I graduated December and I would never go anywhere else. I definitely recommend South. University of South Alabama Sucks. Not to mention to ridiculous amount of hidden fees and fines. The school is corrupt, don't attend. Brianna Whitfield. I thoroughly enjoyed my undergraduate years at USA because the campus was not too big but it was not too small.

The class sizes were small enough where building a relationship with the professor was never an issue. The school offered many different organizations to allow different students to get involved on campus and meet people who shared some of the same interests as them. Getting involved on campus was extremely helpful for me because it allowed me to build friendships that I still have today. Having those close friends are vital because college is by no means an easy task to accomplish and you can not do it alone.

The Department of Chemistry, my degree program, was a rather small department but being small is what allowed the students and faculty to gain a close relationship. Every Friday we would have a guest speaker to teach us about the type of chemistry work they do and give us recommendations on how to be successful after graduation.

After the speaker finished their presentation, we would then have lunch which included the speaker of the day, the students, and the faculty. Along with any questions we may have had for the speaker, we would also casually talk to our professors about anything we have going on within our lives. This allowed not only the students to get to know each other on a personal level but for the faculty to get to know the students personally as well.
