Good Program
Overall, a good program from a reputable school. Since courses were shared with the physician associate students during my time, the class structure was blocked system by system (ie. Learned about everything cardiac, then everything GI, etc). They allowed us to fill out a form with our rotation preferences and interests; but when it came down to it, it was mainly the physician associate students who had rotations in their specialty of interest. Of my class, only one or two of the nurse practitioner students were able to rotate through a specialty.

overall, experience was good.
I had to find my own preceptor at the time as UCD did not provide preceptors. the program was manageable as some of the assignments were online. I was able to work part time during the program.

Good Program
UC Davis schedules all your preceptorship and clinical hours for you so you don't have to worry about a thing. You even get to do a rural health rotation in Eureka where they provide housing.

Intensive & GREAT
Very intensive program that prepared me well for a challenging and rewarding profession. I had 15 years RN experience prior to entering the program, which I feel helped a lot. I had to find my own preceptor, then the University staff vetted the preceptor thoroughly. The program consisted of about 40 hours a week of reading, lectures and study, and about 20 hours a week of clinical experience. As a NP, I worked with new grads quite often, and realized even more what a great program and education I received at UC, Davis. It was still a steep learning curve, but I felt I had the needed resources to provide good and safe patient care, and to be a good part of the medical team. Highly recommend.
