• Sonoma State Sonoma state offered a “hybrid” type program where most of the education/academics took place online, you do have On-campus teachings/ lectures, however it varies each semester. This allowed me the ability to continue to work as a nurse as well as further my education. Overall I really enjoyed Sonoma State. I felt like the cost of the program was very achievable as well the offer of dual online/campus learning. You can choose a part-time program which includes a 3 year MSN-FNP degree or excel in a 2 year full-time program. The program provided the foundation for expectations of a FNP. Where you choose to precept is essentially where you will learn the most in regards to role and responsibilities of being a new FNP! - Alum
• SSU is a gem! I don't think I properly appreciated how good the program was when I was there. I just felt overwhelmed. I should have, it's a lot to learn. I see students from a lot of other programs now who do not seem half as well prepared as SSU left me. The program there is simply exceptional. - Alum
• Great hands on experience Sonoma state offered distant learning program with preceptor site visits and hands on exams . I attended classes at local campus every Saturday and 2 visits to Sonoma state every semester. Our class was the last batch for distant learning program by Sonoma at Stanidlaus university. I had great experience with very experienced and organized instructors. This program helped with the transition from RN to FNP. - Alum
• Great program! It was a wonderful program, with wonderful professors. I completed the postmasters family nurse practitioner program.The great difficulty that the students had was obtaining their own preceptors that said the cost versus benefit was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend it. - Alum
• Sonoma State I appreciated high quality of teachers in program . There was not a lot of support in finding preceptors at times. I think I was well prepared for the NP certification Exam. - Alum
