I do appreciate the university for providing a platform to vouce our experiences, opinions, and feedback. Overall, I have not been pleased with the program flow or teaching methods, as there is very little "teaching" being provided. I have asked since the beginning of the program if we could have the hybrid/on campus courses' lectures made available to us, to no avail. Luckily, I have been in a unique position where my husband is an M.D. so his knowledge has helped me through the program, but I have... Read More mainly been self-teaching by way of YouTube, finding random lectures, and doing double the amount of clinical hours required. I feel that nurses are very visual learners and that the coursework and flow of the classes could be greatly improved with some small, but very effective changes in the curriculum and methods.
I also feel that it would be very beneficial to have more than one hands-on training week on campus, as the procedures learned there have been very useful in applying them to practice.
Overall, with the cirrent set up of this program, I would not recommend it to my peers.

The online format allowed me to have the flexibility I needed, and the instructors were very well qualified. I felt I had support during the whole process and was challenged to learn at the same time. I did feel there could be improvement in assistance in finding clinical experiences. In my area finding preceptors for certain areas was very challenging and the school policy did indicate that they would assist us. I was provided with a list of preceptors in my area, didn't receive any follow up as... Read More to whether I was being successful or not.
Overall, the experience was very good and I was very impressed by the instructors who made you feel like they were always behond you, and wanting you to be successful

The Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Phoenix provides quality education and prepares you for the next level. This program is excellent for those who are motivated self starters. The flexibility of the program provides the student the opportunity to balance work life, family life as well as student life. The instructors provide adequate time for assignments, clear rubrics, and set clear expectations. An advisor will contact you after each class to follow your progress and manage administrative...

I am currently enrolled in the Family Nurse Practitioner masters program at the University of Phoenix. My ultimate goal in my professional career has always been to become a nurse practitioner. Before becoming a student at the University of Phoenix, I was attending a California State University for the same degree program. I have to admit my experience at Cal State was not very pleasant. As a new student, I had many question and concerns and looked for help with the instructors. However, they were... Read More hard to get in contact. Many instructors would take days to answer back and many times after an assignment was due. There werent very many resources we could use and if we did have them they were only available Monday through Friday during normal business hours. As an adult learner out of school for many years, it was already challenging enough. Feeling lost within the program was horrible and not having any support or resources made it even harder. I eventually decided that it wasnt a good fit to continue with my graduate education. Once I dropped out of the program, I analyzed the experience I had and decided not to return to school. However, I still had the desire to continue my education. I had heard many of my colleagues brag about the University of Phoenix and the excellent experience they had and how satisfied they were. Being scared and apprehensive I decided to give the University of Phoenix a shot. I was so amazed at how smooth the transition was. The University of Phoenix made sure that someone was always in contact with me in every step of the application process. I couldnt believe the difference between the other school. On day one of class, I was nervous and anxious and was expecting the worse. To my astonishment, it was the complete opposite. The instructors at the University of Phoenix are very positive and encourage students not to give up. They are available through phone or email 24 hours a day. In my experience, they answer in minutes to hours. I have never had to wait for help or felt like it wasnt available. The school not only offers great instructors and mentors; they also provide excellent resources for students to thrive in their program of study. One example is their technical support which is available 24 hours 7 days a week. I find this very beneficial because things can go wrong at any time and there is always someone available to help. They also provide with excellent resources such as Up to Date which helps with research for evidence-based practice papers, River writer point, helps format papers in APA format, and writepoint helps with grammatical errors. I am very grateful for the attention and dedication the University of Phoenix gives their students. Without their help and support, many students would not be able to accomplish their goal. I am forever in debt with them for giving me the chance to continue my education. I recommend everyone who wants to go back to schools to try University of Phoenix because they will not be disappointed. From start to finish University of Phoenix has over exceeded my expectations, and I know it will do the same for others.
