Family Nurse Practitioner at South University.

Published

I am starting MSN-FNP @ South University in February 6th, 2014.

I started SU in October and am currently in my second class. So far, I am LOVING it. I "go" to class at least once a day to either read classmates or instructor posts or to review assignments. I agree with others that you get out what you put in....that is true with any online program. For me, I love the convenience of the online programs.

I have decided to start in the february 2014 class. I have thought about starting a FB page called south university fnp february 2014. I have seen where the december 2013 class started a page and it seems to be helpful to them. What do you think?

You APA formattng in South or any other institution you attend. maybe you are better going to class since computer based learning is not for everybody. But even if you go to class, you have to do your papers with APA formatting. No matter the institution you decide to go. My advise; buy an APA book, also South in digital books have it available to you. And lhflanurse mentioned before, every instructor have their own 'protocol", or way to correcting things, so you just need to adapt. I can tell you, is in any institution. I took my ADN in campus, and we suffered like you have no idea. No clear instructions were given, and APA was huge, and expectations were high. My BSN did it online, and APA was big, but clear instructions were given, just like South gives you the "rubrics". If you follow them, you will be ok. When I decided to start my FNP, I was so nervous, did not know what to expect! I know is not easy, but if you apply yourself, is doable. I'm in my fourth class. My friends are taking Nursing Research, and they say is really hard!!!!! My NUrsing Research in my BSN was difficult as well, so is expected in an MSN level.

Yes, I am part of the FB group and it is very helpful where you can ask questions and get immediate answers instead of waiting for an email. I find the classes very straight-forward and easy to follow. The books are provided through a digital bookshelf free of charge. Although for certain classes I have purchased the actual book through half dot com as I like the book for future reference. I prefer online over B&M as I must continue to work FT and I like the convenience of going to class when it fits my schedule. Good luck and don't let others discourage you. You can find those who don't like the program of ANY school there is.
