- Good Program - Could help more with placement The program was certainly adequate, however there was very little help with preceptorship and work placement after graduation. - Alum
- Guinea pigs I was in the first BSN to DNP cohort at the school. They learned a lot that year. For example, don't put DNP students in a statistics class that is designed for statistics majors. I still have nightmares about that class. It didn't prepare me in any way to become a nurse practitioner, but it sure waisted a lot of my time (2-3 hours a day) that could have been used studying something more useful. I was grateful that they provided the clinical placements for the most part. Many students that I precept now had no help from their schools in finding the clinical placement. - Alum
- Preceptorships I arranged all of my preceptorships. I had 5 different preceptors, one in pain management, one in pediatrics, one in OB-GYN, one in alternative medicine, and one in Family Medicine. I doubled or tripled the number of hours spent in each preceptorship for my own benefit. The one in pain management lead to a full time position in pain management, acute and chronic pain as well as hospital pain program and research. - Alum
- Accessible DNP As most “nursing school” go there is always some level of disorganization. Though they had a “program director” you could tell the program was really run by the old dogs. I was well educated but feel that others who took the same courses after me were taught nearly completely different content. I feel that I was well prepared for the field and certification exam though and the base knowledge learned in the program provided my base for informed and educated practice. - Alum
- rigorous program They helped me find a preceptor. Provided support and guidance. Really great, knowledgeable and compassionate instructors. - Alum
