Accepted to Capella University RN to BSN program

Updated:   Published

I was recently accepted to this university's RN to BSN program. I am very happy because I only have to take the 11 BSN courses and nothing more! Are there any BSN Capella graduates out there that can tell me more about the program, classes, professors..etc?

If interested in what others have to say about Capella University please take a look at our Best Nursing Universities | Peer Reviews.

I am planning on pursuing the Capella RN to MSN program in General Nursing with emphasis in Leadership and Education this Sept 15, 2015. When I compare their program to other brick and mortar schools I find their program to be comparable or better. I do like that I walk away with both a Leadership and Education MSN. I have my ADN and a non-nursing bachelor degree. I like their option of RN to MSN without stopping for a BSN, I really do not want another Bachelors degree. I was wondering if there are any other students at Capella currently in their MSN program that could provide insight... if you like/dislike etc.

Thank you.

Hello Biscuit090,

I'm in the RN-MSN, Leadership & Administration specialization, since 1/2015. I truly enjoy & feel accomplished with how the program is and what I've learned so far. How is it going with you?

Hello! I noticed that you are in the MSN program at Capella. I am interested in the leadership and administration specialization. Can you provide any info in regards to taking 2 classes vs. 3? clinical sites used? How many hours in clinicals and how the coursework/load is?

also wondering if 3 classes at a time is feasible if I'm either not working or working PT.

Is it possible to complete program in a year or less at Capella?

Yes, they offer a flex path option where you can pay a set fee and take as many classes as you want.

Three classes might be difficult since you will be writing many papers.

Are you in the Flexpath or traditional? I did the Flexpath and when I was almost done with a course I would have my coach enroll me in the next one, that way I could start while I waited for my final grade.

DeLynn, I'm close to deciding on Capella for my MSN (FlexPath) and was wondering if you'd mind sharing how long instructors have to return assignments after you turn them in? When I did my BSN at GCU they had a week to grade our assignments and some took almost 2 weeks, and that's why I ask. Has that ever held you back from moving into the next course? As it's the first MSN FlexPath class it's been difficult for me to get all the info I'd like on it.

I have 13 courses and I'm also wondering if it could be possible to complete it over 2 quarters? My admission counselor tells me that it's possible to do that for the BSN but she's unsure about the MSN. Do you have any opinions on this?

Thank you!!
