• University of Iowa Excellent Program, continually improving. The program finds your preceptors for you. - Alum
• UIHC first Gerontology NP program The university worked well with me as a non-traditional student. I was working full time, going to school full time, married with 3 children. I needed to find my own preceptor locations. I did feel that the professors did not have any idea of handling a real NP practice. They all claimed to have an NP practice, but quite certain it wasn’t anything like my clinic practice. I’m quite certain they had a little part time clinic, unlike my NP position where I had over 900 primary care patients in my panel. My knowledge base was good, but I felt I lacked experience in the real world. This was a very long time ago. I only hope it has improved since that time. I have a very interesting history in finding an actual NP position as at the time of my graduation, the market didn’t know what to do with us. - Alum
• University of Iowa I would highly recommend the master's program at the University of Iowa. The program held high standards and prepared me for my certification and practice as an APRN. I received by degree prior to the requirements needed for hospital the requirements for an APP to be credentialled to be practice. I was the first APRN who was certified through ANCC thanks to the recommendations at the University of Iowa. This is an excellent program. - Alum

They work to place you in line with the needs of the classwork and preceptors who have experience in the field. Educators; The professors are well-informed; they take time with you and stay up to date in the field to ensure the education they provide remains current. This was a well-rounded program. - Alum
