Just looking for other students to go back and forth with who are currently enrolled in the FNP program at South University or who will be starting soon. I am starting in October and have been out of school for 14 years so I could use any advice or suggestions!! Thanks

My wife is in South University MSN-FNP program. I'm retired and her mentor in making her goals a reality. She started earlier this year and will be starting her 3rd quarter in Oct. she goes to the University in Richmond and does does recommend online for many reasons. She works full time in a hospital ICU unit and works a consistent schedule of 3 nights in a row (fri,sat,sun) this is very important because you don't want to be all over the place. Yes your giving up your weekend but balancing a rotating shift and good grades (remember a "C" means CUT from the program) quarters 2&3 are very challenging and your going to be doing a lot of APA papers. Parella software is a must for your papers. I would be willing to assist you with what we learned just contact me. Enjoy your experience you made the right choice.

Hi all. I have contacted an enrollment counselor at South for the FNP program coming up 2015. I'm not sure how I feel yet since they have not had a class that has graduated yet or taken the exam. They are expensive but you can finish in 2-2.5 years. Can you please share with me why have you considered South University to continue you education?? Thanks

I live in Michigan and the program here is on site. My friend graduated in April and passed boards in July .

Several of her classmates have passed boards as well.

I'm attending South because it seems to focus on clinical aspects of the practitioner and not a lot of drawn out theory. I've had enough of that in undergrad. Plus, from what I here it is a good school.

Thanks for the reply. That's great. I've been reading some negative post so I wanted some positive feedback.

I love the fact that there are almost 800 clinical hours and that was one of the main reasons I thought about South. How did your friend feel about the course load? Are you doing it online?
