Hello, After finishing my MSN at South University 2 years ago, I swore I was not going on to get my DNP....now here I am 2 years later and I am considering my DNP. I live and grew up in Florida and have ALWAYS wanted to be a Gator. I am looking into their MSN to DNP online program, but have additional questions. Can I get in with getting my MSN at South University?How is tuition? Is it really only $530 a credit hour for Florida residents? How many on campus visits are there?Do you have to present your DNP project?Are there any clinicals?Is this a do-able program if you work full time during the week?Any other information is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

There is a doctor that comes in to round on his patients that comes directly to the nurses station and states 'I'll take a coffee, this color *points to his skin*." then goes and sits down and waits for his coffee. I know he is joking, but SMH, get it yourself!

Never smell the mysterious brown spot that is on your scrubs. Always have an extra pair of scrubs in case you become covered with Go Litely diarrhea when the patients husband put the bucket in wrong in the bedside commode.

"Could you maybe give me a hand?" as he is pleasuring himself.

And then they made him NPO.

The fall risk patient with the bed alarm turned off, and the patient's significant other holding on to her from behind and pleasuring her with the curtain wide open.

I am a current FNP student at South University. I am about to start Advanced Nursing Practice 2. I started looking at the preceptor information and under the dress code, it mentions obtaining a lab coat with the South University MSN emblem on it. I cannot find any additional information on this. Is this true?

Wow! You have done your homework. Thanks for this. I am looking at Indiana State University, Walden University and the University of South Alabama. My GPA isn't the greatest at 2.92, so it's a challenge trying to find a school that will accept me.

Their online FNP program is only for Texas residents. SMH I just graduated from there in December with my BSN and pulled through with a 2.92. They will not let me retake any courses and will not let me take any other online classes to pull up my GPA.

I contacted my school I graduated from and apparently it's illegal to retake classes I have already finished a degree in. I have reached out to advisors at my school to see what they suggest.

Does anyone have any advice, insight, experience?

Hello, I just graduated in December with my BSN from UTA. I am wanting to continue on to grad school for Nuse practitioner. However, upon applying, my undergrad GPA is 2.92. I struggled a bit doing my RN-BSN as I had my child 7 weeks earlier than planned...right in the middle of 3 classes. I failed 2 and that tanked my GPA. The school I'm applying for has suggested I take a 3 credit hour class ( can be an undergrad class) be sure to get an "A" to bring my GPA up enough to get into the program. I gave looked at the classes I got C's in, in hopes of maybe retaking one, but these are classes like US government and Texas politics. Has anyone just taken a class to bring up your GPA? What kind of class did you take? Any suggestions on which way would be better to go? Thanks!

Just an update. I took the Medical Surgical certification and passed. I used the book they sell to study. I read pretty much everything and focused on those areas where I was a bit weaker. It was 150 questions and took me about an hour.

Which books did you use for research? I see there's about 3 listed and want to make sure I'm not going to waste my money.

I was just looking at my degree plan, and as of 1 month ago, the only classes I had left was the statistics class I was currently enrolled in, my nursing research and capstone. This was verified by my advisor. Low and behold, I look at my degree plan today and there is an additional nursing core class: Health Policy and Legal AspectHealth Policy and Legal Aspects of Professional Nursing. I'm wondering if anyone else had an information such as, if currently enrolled students are expected to take this class? My advisor is a piece of work in herself. She has never been informative nor very helpful. She likes to pass the buck on to everyone else. I'd rather hear from other students before going to her on this issue. Thanks in advance! Sarah
