South University FNP MSN program???

Nhayden24 · Jan 21, 2015

Hi Jenny,

I fully agree with you. I work full time and have two small little children. Your information has been great. I have submitted my application already and Im just waiting. It's good to hear feedback from nurses currently in the program. I know it will be challenging.

Please reply if you have completed or going through the online MSN FNP program through south university

-Do you recommend this program?

-if you were to do this all over again would you still choose to do it at south university?

-if you are not a good write can you get through this program?

Thank you for all your help!!!

Hi CHERBEAR819

I have completed my first year at SU, and will start the my first practicum in March. I only know one other individual whom graduated from SU, and she passed boards on the first try. This fact made me feel better about the program. As far as recommending it, all I can say is that I feel as though I am being prepared, but I have no way of knowing until I start practicum. Yes, I would choose SU again because I have not had any issues with instructors, or any other facility members. I like the way it is set up in quarters, instead of semesters. It seems to be easier because I can focus on one class at a time. Yes, I also think that those who are poor writers can successfully complete the program. Writing has always been one of my worst subjects and would prefer to have a test instead of writing a paper; however, my writing skills have really improved. No matter, it all comes down to how picky your instructor is. I have had some that would just ignore a missing comma; those that would suggest a correction, but not count off; then I have had those that would count off 5 of 10 points for missing one comma. I hope this helps!

For information purposes, I completed the ANP program and total cost...classes, clinical fees, and practicum fees was $27,736.00. It will be a little more as the hourly cost has gone up. Without the price increase for my final semester, my total would have been $27,516.00. Non-practicum classes are now $1832.00 each and the practicum classes are $2748.00 each. There is a $525.00 clinical fee per practicum. Hope this helps.

I am applying to the FNP program at south university to start in march 2015. I recently stopped Kaplan university FNP program because full time was kicking my behind with 3 kids and part time was not ideal to finish in 3 years. I like the idea of 1 class at a time. I was wondering can you PM me to get a better idea on the program.

I was quoted about $32,000 for the fnp program not including transfer credits.

Good Morning to each of you guys currently on this thread!! I have been wanting so badly to discuss this program with someone, ANYONE, that is currently in the process of practicum. I started this program June 2014 and have had such a wonderful experience. Honestly, there will always be negatives to everything, but for me, this program has been great from the minute I decided to apply. My admissions counselor was WONDERFUL and constantly checked on me for the first 3 months of the program. The classes can be intense, but I mean seriously if you can make it through an RN program, this is a piece of cake. All that is really required is time and dedication to make it happen. I am a little concerned at this point in the process though, I am worried that I may not be prepared for the boards due to the fact that we have not had ANY exams. I am in the 6th week of Pharmacology and still no exams, however I have learned SOOO much in this course. If anyone can give me some insight into practicum and what to expect I would greatly appreciate it. I begin March 5, 2015 with my first practicum and I must say, I am VERY nervous. I hope I do not look like a complete idiot!! I see JMHanna you are on the same time frame as me and would love to connect with you as we go into out last year. I have one friend who I have been able to communicate with and would love to expand my circle to have a greater support group. Anyone currently in the program that would like to connect, my email is [email protected] or you can find me on facebook Joni Snipes Smith. I would love any comments or insight that anyone would like to share.
