Monmouth University

Published

I am interested in knowing if anyone is currently attending Monmouth University MSN program?

Specializes in Telemetry.

I am halfway done with the FNP program. I am sure it is very similar to many other programs out there. I like the program though because the entire first year you can do online completely if you want to. If you want, you also could do hybrid (every other week online/in class). Once you start Assessment, it is mandatory to do hybrid classes.

My only annoyance is lack of communication in terms of the future. I start clinical this semester (classes start in a week) and I still have no idea what half of the semester I have clinical or what day it will be on (for Primary Care, you do 6 weeks either first or 2nd half of semester, 1 day a week). This makes it a little difficult to schedule for work but we are all making it work I suppose. They will supply us with this clinical site, the rest we are on our own.

I do not find the program that difficult. Up til this semester, I have still maintained working full-time, as I know many of my classmates have too. Of course, time is tight but it is do-able.

Feel free to email me with any questions [email protected]... I don't always check here.

Specializes in Telemetry.

Since this is no where and what I was really curious of prior to starting... this has been//will be my schedule:

Fall '15: Factors Affecting Health Care (online), Education and Motivation of Nursing Clients (online) - 6 credits total

Spring '16: Health Informatics (online), Pathophysiology and Histology (online) - 6 credits total

Summer '16: Pharmacology (online) - 3 credits total

Fall '16: Nursing Research (online), Advanced Health Assessment (hybrid) - 6 credits total

Spring '17: Data Management (online), Primary Care (hybrid and clinical) - 7 credits total

Summer '17: Pediatrics (hybrid and clinical) - 3 credits total

Fall '17: Advanced Practice Nursing I (hybrid and clinical) - 7 credits total

Spring '18: Advanced Practice Nursing II (hybrid and clinical) - 7 credits total

This is just an example. Some of my classmates have done it in a different order. The only order it needs to follow is Pathophysiology > > Pharmacology > Assessment > Primary Care > Pediatrics > Advanced Practice Nursing. Also Health Informatics > Nursing Research > Data Management. I believe...

I liked how my classes progressed though, with no "serious" classes my first semester. Helped to ease into school.
