• Recommend exploring other programs While some preceptors were wonderful, other preceptors were not great examples of providers and faculty did not always put needs of the student above needs of the university and of having a quantity over quality of preceptors. The curriculum and workload was similar to most other programs. The program allowed the ability to survive through the program and make it to the other side of graduation but there are other programs who offer experiences that are more positive. - Alum
• TJU NP Well, I think that this is a critique for all nurse practitioner programs. I think that there needs to be a better emphasis on the actual clinical knowledge that we will need in our future careers. Course it’s such as nursing theory need to be eliminated and need to be replaced with two courses of pathophysiology or pharmacology so that we’re better equipped for our future careers. Our programs need to be more similar to the physician assistant programs. - Alum
• Unsupported While I have been successful in my NP career, I don’t believe it had much to do with this program. I was left feeling completely unsupported from the very beginning to the end. Majority of the time, I couldn’t even get a hold of my advisor. There was no help with preceptors or guidance with classes or careers. You really need to be self sufficient and have initiative to be successful in this program. It feels like they’re just churning out NPs for profit without caring about the quality of education at all. - Alum
• Great program to do if you want to keep working My experience with Jefferson for my AGACNP degree was excellent. I was able to work a Full time and a PRN position while completing this degree in 2 years. I only dropped my full-time job when i started clinicals. The professors were excellent and very approachable. - Alum
• Terrible Find any other program. They do not find or help you find clinical sites, half of the “education” is YouTube videos, and the professors reading straight from textbooks. They don’t do any real world application whatsoever. My “intensives“ comprised of practicing use of EpiPens and insulin pens, basic nursing skills I learned as an undergrad. All of the exams were multiple-choice memorization, not one question was clinical case or scenario based. It took weeks if not months to get in touch with advisors. I learned more in my undergrad program to prepare me as an NP than this program ever did. There was barely any education on lab interpretation. Sad waste of money and time. - Alum
