All of my courses are done online for their FNP program until my Clinical's. That makes it super flexible for me to be able to still work and continue my education. Being a young widowed mother of twins, I still need to be able to provide for my boys. This program absolutely allows me that flexibility. The Professors are approachable and easy to talk to. I can’t say enough about this program!
From the very beginning, the application process every person I spoke to was super helpful and extremely kind. Their programs are great and flexible for the working student. I would highly recommend Simmons University, hands down! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
I really enjoy my time at Simmons! I am an adult student and commute to the school from north shore MA. The professors and advisors are all extremely helpful and want you to succeed. The academic staff also have very strong backgrounds and knowledge of the fields that they are in. They are very supportive of adult learners and do their best to make it easier for us to thrive in this environment. The school and facilities are all beautiful and in the middle of Boston surrounded by some of the best hospitals and resources. The school is very comfortable and every single staff makes you feel important and that you are supported. Simmons University is such a safe and welcoming environment.
