South University Orlando or Tampa Campus FNP program reviews?

[dancingnurse413]

I live in central florida and it seems that USF is the last state school to have an MSN FNP program. The only alternative I have found that isn't completley online is South University's Orlando Campus. It is fairly new and pretty much an extension of the Tampa campus. It is private, however it is accredited and not-for profit.

Has anyone attended a brick and mortar FNP program at South university and let me know how they thought it was? I know you have to find your own preceptors. I want to know about lab experiences, content, professor support, and if its worth the cost if possible.

Thanks

I have no direct experience from South university so I can only speak from experience either being side by side from a student from south university or asking their opinion of the school. Another note is this is coming from students enrolled in their online section so I don't know how much difference the "campus" experience is. I will say the school uses a lot of busy work and online work to make up for the didactic portion. The students don't feel they have much connection with the teachers. Securing your own clinical site is a poor idea unless you already have strong connections. Finally, the ones that were okay had strong RN experience like 5 yrs ICU/ER+ the ones that had less struggled. Again this is second hand from being in clinical side by side with them and their opinions. Either way good luck with what you decide
