 Hi,

Is there anyone applying to this program that’s based in Florida in February 2021?

I’ve enrolled today and very excited to start in a few months.  With the cost of programs & how competitive it is these days; I’m glad to see an alternative out in the world!

Good Luck ? Everyone!

So I am taking only 1 class which is Psychiatric Nursing this semester. I am working fulltime, additional extra shifts since they mandate us to work if there is staffing shortages. Two little toddlers that keeps me busy all the time.

 

I am getting a 93% overall grade in my class right now and will be taking the final next week which I think I will do well in. 

 

The course consists accessing everything through moodle system. All of the assignments "lessons" are accessed through Sherpath system within the moodle. Every week on Sunday we have to submit all the assignments that are due which can be found on our syllabus.  Usually it will consist of 6-8 "lesson quizzes" consisting of 6-16 questions and then there is a EAQ quiz/test due every Sunday which consist of 50 questions. And there are Virtual Simulations "VSims" that are due every Sunday.

There are zoom meetings once a week for my class which isn't mandatory attendance and can be viewed at your own time. You can skip ahead to the next weeks assignments to finish faster, and maybe complete the course in a shorter amount of time.

So this is the setup for my current class I am not sure if it will be the same for med-surge 1 or 2 or peds, etc.

On-site Florida clinicals for this class will be combined with my med-surge class this feb semester.

 

So those are the required assignments weekly. I am able to do this working full time and busy with my family, it is time consuming since there are lots of videos, reading, and powerpoints to learn. It is 99% all self study, you need to discipline yourself to achieve a good grade. 

 

Overall I am happy with the program, the staff are very responsive to all my emails. I am excited to become a registered nurse in a short period of time instead of waiting on the crazy California RN program waiting lists.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is definitely encouraging to hear!

Thank you for sharing! I was a little discouraged after finding out that I was not approved for the loan and that they are requiring me to pay $3500 down and make monthly payments of $1000 and no one has even told me the price of the actual program I keep getting different answers but I am just ready to finish & trying not to be discouraged but thank you so much for this it helps a lot!

I also paid $3500 deposit yesterday ..hoping its going to be worth it at the end... I will be paying $1000 every month. They told me total cost of the program in 32k and if I can test out of fundamental and pharm it could be less.

Wow, yes that is an awful lot of money and for me I did another RN program but failed the final of the last class of the curriculum Med Surg 2  so they would not let me come back so I’m having to start all over again I wish I could find a bridge program but I am here I hope that I can make it work.

I wish I could speak with someone directly and just get like the breakdown of the classes when they start, end  I have not been able to get any concrete information about how the program is Ran, how many weeks are the class is nothing like that
