Any experience with these FNP programs?

Hi all,

I really want to start a program in the spring for my FNP! I’ve been looking at some online programs but want to be cautious of the diploma mills and the programs that don’t help you with clinical placement. I am confident in the virtual aspect- I am good with time management and doing the independent work as I did a WOCN certification mostly online.

So far I’ve liked what Wilkes university has had to offer. The admission counselor assured me they work to place you for clinical. I am relatively close to them so she said that was a pro because they likely have more local connections.

I also am interested in cedar crest and Neumann universities. Neumann wants me to wait until fall to start but they have small class sizes, but are also a relatively new program. Both campuses are close to me too which just seems reassuring.

The other one I spoke to was University of Scranton. They didn’t seem too confident on the clinical placement assistance. I did like that they have a weekly “live” online class along with the course work.

Has anyone heard anything about these programs recently??
