• Small cohort Let the Faculty focus on questions and student guidance having a small cohort - Alum
• Very good academically; disorganized TJU has a strong academic program and I really learned a lot, a lot more than I realized initially; however, since it is all online it is very much how much you put into it. It is hard work, and there are a lot of assignments, but being on the other side of it I can say those assignments really did help prepare me and ease my transition (well most of them). I really liked most of the faculty member. Clinical year was the hardest because students have to find their own clinical sites and that is my biggest qualm with this program. Finding my own clinical placement, with what felt like no support from faculty and program directors, was the most stressful part. The stress simply from finding my own clinical spot is why I only give two stars in terms of "would I recommend this program." To me, how much the program costs, is not worth the stress of finding your own site that matches their specific requirements. - Alum
• Good experience They provided me with preceptor placement for each clinical. All classes were online except assessment once per week. I did not work during school but many people did continue to work at least part time. It would definitely have been manageable. All in all I would recommend this program. It definitely prepared me for my job. - Alum
• Great program for NP I had a great experience in terms of schooling, testing was fair, the teachers were supportive. I had to find my own clinicals which is common for most programs. In terms of jobs after school, you learn on the job. You have the book knowledge from school but real world experience you obtain once you start in the role. - Alum
• Full time job As a distance student, it was my responsibility to find my own preceptors away from the school in a different state. Through hard work and persistence, I was able to land 3 different roles with different providers. The hardest to find was pediatrics rotations, but a compassionate provider, selflessly agreed to take an unknown student on with her, and was very good to me. Now working as a NP for the past decade, my advise for folx looking for preceptors is to find two for each term. Splitting the commitment up between two providers reduces the burden for them, and sets you up with a plan B or backup. - Alum
