   Hi! Things might be different for you where you live. And the schools I'm comparing SU to are typically online programs run by state or private universities (rather than for-profit businesses). The main reason why SU's program is so "intense" is beca...

   ModestTruth replied to ModestTruth's topic in School Programs

   Right now SU's program is constantly in flux. No matter what anyone else tells you it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But, it is accredited. It is flexible (insofar as being online). Due dates are not flexible. And there are no b...

   In terms of being intelligent enough to complete assignments, don't worry. But, what I think is very difficult about this program is the amount of information that is self-taught. To be completely honest, they do not go out of their way to give you a...

   Honestly, I have no idea as I am yet to take clinical classes. I think as long as you can commit to two days of clinical on top of schoolwork and working full time, you will be fine. It is a time that all students want to rip their hair out and canno...

   ModestTruth replied to ModestTruth's topic in School Programs

   I am still trying to figure out if this was a good decision or not. I hope I can be more helpful. I'm trying to contact some of my peers and seniors in the program to get their opinion. So far, most of the opinions I am blogging/writing about are con...

   I think the GPA has to be laughable. And if you are an international student, your education visa doesn't count 100% online schools (they don't justify your presence in the US). I learned that from a friend of mine who is Korean and her visa has run ...

   No matter what, I would go for the FNP. I know a few Pediatric NPs and Adult/Gero Primary care NPs. They are all saying they wish they had gone the FNP route.

   Just going to give a brief update. Basically, I am far into this program and have a better idea of its pros and cons. Pros: You don't need experience to become an FNP here. Enrollment is relatively straightforward. Classes are taken one at a time Onl...

   Congrats!!!!!! That's awesome! Will you let me know if you do a certification review-course or buy a book? I'm in the FNP but it would still be cool to find a good brand of prep-books.

    Hello, lhflanurse! I heard that every year the tuition at South University rises. Have you found this to be true? Technically, you are my upperclassman. I'm really looking forward to hear about your experiences as well. What program are you in? Do yo...

    Hi there! Sorry for the confusion, I've doubled up my classes to full-time. So basically in the first 6 months I will be finishing what would regularly be about a 12 months of work, if the classes were one at a time, back to back. So far I have gone...
