FAQ

The transfer credit evaluation process is completed by our registrar鈥檚 office.

The initial responsibility for securing a preceptor lies with the student. Before clinical rotations begin, students are contacted by the Clinical Coordinator (CC) to discuss the clinical placement process. The Clinical Coordinator provides information about potential preceptors, sites we have affiliation agreements with near you and shares the Student Handbook, outlining all clinical rotation requirements. Students must complete all required forms and submit documentation, including preceptor profiles, licenses, board certifications, vaccination records, and CVs through Typhon. Students must receive written clearance from the Director of Clinical Education (DCE) before beginning clinical rotations. If students have shown due diligence and are still unable to secure a clinical placement, assistance in finding preceptors is available from the DCE and CC.

Of the $1,000 clinical fee, $500 is allocated to one preceptor per clinical course per semester. The remaining $500 is designated to support clinical operations (Typhon clinical documentation system, Springer Review Board Preparation Software, etc) and on-site activities for those in a hybrid program.
Students may complete clinical hours in their place of employment provided that clinical hours are not compensated as 鈥渆mployee or work hours.鈥� The preceptor cannot be the student鈥檚 supervisor in any capacity, and the site provides appropriate learning opportunities within the scope of practice for the program.
You can expect a 3鈥�5-day intensive experience on campus in Provo, Utah that includes hands-on skills-based learning. The time on campus includes training in our cadaver lab, mock clinical encounters with live actors, and high and low fidelity simulation-based training. FNP and ENP students gain advanced skills relating to various body systems and include training opportunities with pelvic exams, IUD insertion, casting/splinting, suturing, X-Ray interpretation, etc. ENP students gain additional skills in advanced airway management, sonography, advanced suturing, and chest tube insertion. PMHNP students do not attend onsite activities. These on-site visits are designed to strengthen your clinical skills through direct, practical application in a supportive learning environment.
Students are expected to engage with course materials independently through the designated learning platform (Canvas). While students have flexibility in managing their study time, consistent participation and time management are essential for success. Weekly engagement in the course is required. Synchronous sessions may be scheduled by faculty to engage students in discussions or to address a particularly difficult topic. These sessions are recorded for students unable to attend. Communication with instructors is critical. Students are expected to respond to any email or phone message within 48 hours. Faculty are expected to respond to student emails within 48 business hours.
Academic advisors are assigned to students in the first course and remain with the students throughout their program. FNP and ENP students meet with their advisor during the on-site visits. PMHNP students connect with their advisor via email. All faculty members, including the Program Director, the Director of Clinical Education, the Clinical Coordinator, and the Chair of the Department of Nursing are available to support you throughout your studies. For general questions or guidance, please reach out to your Program Director.
From the first semester, the nursing program integrates certification-style exam questions with Springer Publishing Board Preparation Software into coursework through quizzes designed to build test familiarity and confidence. Students’ complete predictor exams and meet with faculty to review their performance and identify areas for improvement. By graduation, students will have answered approximately 2,000 certification-style questions, providing extensive preparation for their licensure exam.

The American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (AAENP) has agreed that the body of knowledge possessed by the FNP is the ideal basis for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner.
