Preceptor assignments
Some of the preceptor assignments were ill-matched. I had to back out of one all together because the preceptor and I had personality clash and expectations were not clear for me.
There was the "eat your young" culture that can be so prevalent in nursing programs. I was miserable most of the time. One friend transferred out.
I am glad I went and graduated (Class of 2001), but the only thing that kept me at that school was my mentor and a good mental health counselor.

Fast and furious
I chose the accelerated 12 month program and it was the busiest and most stressed year of my life! But at the time I was young and single without other obligations and didn’t want to end up with extended years in graduate school (which would postpone beginning my NP career). I received the academic and emotional and career support I needed to launch what is now a 35-year NP career.

No Regrets!
Felt well prepared for starting NP practice in a pediatric primary care setting. Passed certification exam with minimal additional studying, exam prep.

This was my first experience with Doximity and made my learning environment extremely easy. My preceptor was instrumental in guiding and teaching me.

work/life balance
I was able to work part time and continue with my program as a full time student. Other classmates worked full time, but I had the ability to work part time, so I could be home with my kids more often. Preceptorship was setup through VCU with multiple options each semester depending on your interests. Very thankful for the preceptorship and not needing to find my own or pay additional money to complete my program.
