   The classes that are part of the curriculum cannot be taken in advance. I was a dietitian before entering the program and still had to take the nutrition course :)

   Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School Programs

   As for a safe place to stay, there are some nicer apartments in Lake Mary, Altamonte, or Longwood. Those are all close to the campus. A lot of clinicals are in the downtown area so I’d try to stay between Lake Mary and Winter Park, and close to I4. ...

4. ECPI University MSN-FNP

   Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in SRNA

   This is not the program for you then. TONS of writing. If there are quizzes, they are irrelevant to the class content. The teachers don’t teach anything- just grade papers. Outdated books. And they don’t assist with practicum placement at all.

   They have a forum where students post questions and they are generally answered within a day, however I find that many times the questions aren’t answered thoroughly. Many of us are on our own group discussion and we can usually figure things out.

   Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in SRNA

   10 weeks in- all online except 2 weekends in VA for 15 hour residency. So far it's been all discussion board writing and additional papers/projects each week. I can't say it's hard, but time consuming. I definitely spend 20-30 hours per week on the c...

10. Anyone starting South University March 2019

    Happy818 replied to Constants's topic in NP Students

    I ended up choosing ECPI for my FNP and start in May. I did my ABSN there and even though the faculty there will not be teaching the FNP classes, they are well connected in the area and can hopefully help with preceptors. I did speak with a few that...

13. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    Happy818 replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you haven't found what you like within the nursing field. Myself, I've been a dietitian and recently went back for my RN because I wanted to do more holistic care with patients, and am now planning to do my FNP. I never have wanted and...
