• Finding preceptors is stressful! Overall, I liked the NP program at Lewis, and think it did a good job of preparing for clinical practice. However, I spent an ungodly amount of time arranging and securing my own preceptors, and the university did nothing to assist in that endeavor. I had a OB preceptor fall through due to medical issues, and thankfully had a large network of friends and colleagues that were able to help me as I scrambled to replace them. Otherwise, I would have had to sit out an entire semester. I would gladly take epidemiology a second time or pay more money in tuition to have the university secure, preceptors, or at least help more in arranging them. My other criticism is how very little of program spend on billing and coding, I find that I’ve had to learn this on the fly during my clinical practice. - Alum
• Lewis pro and con Lewis is flexible with their schedule and class options. The biggest obstacle is finding preceptors for clinical. - Alum
• Review I worked full time (3 12 hr shifts) throughout the program You are required to find your own preceptor. Ended up paying $800 for women’s health preceptor Overall good program with 100% passing rate - Alum
• Average The work load was manageable and I was able to complete the program while working full time. It was the student’s responsibility to find preceptors and this was challenging, especially for Peds and Women’s Health rotations. The course content/presentations were average and much of the content was self-taught. There were online and in person options available, which allowed for flexibility with scheduling. - Alum
• My experience at Lewi University I was able to work attaining Masters / FNP program. This program did not support students for preceptors. It was challenging juggling my time- but possible. I was fortunate to know many healthcare providers to precept me in for my clinical hour's. At that time there was no cost for preceptor's time. Overall- I believe my nursing experience and exposure in the ICU and with CV surgery added so much to be successful with this program. I did pass my certification the first time. - Alum
