• Good value for a motivated student Are any online NP programs good? Hard to say. If you think you are going to get all the training and answers you need to be a well prepared NP in school, lord think again. If I hadn't had 15 years of several different nursing jobs under my belt, there's no way I would have made it. I had to find my own preceptors using my own contacts. Which is totally fine. There wasnt an option to pay someone when I was in school. I think all NP schools should not take any nurse who has not worked full time for at least 5 years. Unprepared NP unfortunately leave a bad taste in the mouths of docs and practices that are trying to find new grads that they can hire cheaply. When docs hire a new or not well prepared NP, they often use them as scribes or paper pushers and these NP don't really know their role. Once they learn they get upset and leave which is why we need to prepare new np better. So much needs to be better in both RN and NP training. - Alum
• NP Experience Overall a good experience that prepared me for practice. - Alum
• Would recommend but not strongly for DNP My experience with the masters program was positive and strong preparing me to transition from the role of a registered nurse to a nurse practitioner. However, during the DNP program which is fairly new at Purdue University Northwest I feel like the guidance through my project was very scattered and untimely when needed. My chair person did not seem to have very much experience herself with the process I was going through. Her availability schedule seemed pretty tight as well. - Alum
