• Personalities are a problem more than anything els Overall, I received a good education. I could have been prepared better for the transition from bedside nursing to provider. You complete clinicals at UMass hospitals, so you know what’s expected at an academic medical center. You don’t get a taste for being a provider outside of the academic community. They don’t explain that there are politics and difficulties to being a provider. The educators there can be unprofessional and difficult. And if you need help years later because you want to get another certification? Forget it. No one will do much to help you get the information you need. They will, however, call you and seek the yearly alumni donation. - Alum
• Love UMASS Felt very prepared and had great clinical rotations. Supportive faculty. - Alum
• Rigorous, but well prepared This was a rigorous full time program that had high requirements for RN work and NP Practicum. At the time, it was a small program with a lot of 1:1 attention. Our graduating class only had approx. 30 students who completed the program. It is much different that the online degree mills that are pumping out unprepared NPs these days. It was stressful, but I was well prepared for entering the workforce. - Alum
• Graduate entry AGNP program Prepared me well for first role as an NP. Very affordable compared to other programs in the area and comparable if not superior education. The integration with the medical school facilities and curriculum was a huge bonus. NP clinicals were arranged by the program. Definitely reccomend! - Alum
