Hey JayJayBSNRN, So sorry for such a late response... Allow me to congratulate you on having graduated!!! It is one amazing accomplishment. I did graduate back on May 17th, 2017... Studied really hard and passed AANP certification board in June. I ...

Operations: I just have a random thought... Don't waste your breath. There are people who feel entitled to vilify and smear others because they feel that they, and only they, can ascertain who makes a competent provider and supply endless anecdotes ...

Excellent point of view, Operations! I appreciate your insightful look into the disparity in complaints against certain NPs by other nurses that, somehow, have made it their life mission to put down and smear the reputations of NPs that advanced in ...

Thanks shibaowner for an exceptional contribution based on real-world facts.

Well said, Addie! Some of the older generations are stuck on having new nurses go the same route they did (when nursing was less dynamic and there were far less choices for advancement). Although they will never admit that their desire for nurses to...

I like the classes and as soon as you can.

NursingGirl9, In my experience, they let me apply while in the last semester of my BSN -- I provided unofficial transcripts showing the expected date of completion of the program. I completed the whole process and as soon as I graduated, they request...

Hey K-Nicole, I'm in the class before last (expect to graduate in May) and the answer is very simple: Employers look at national certification, state license, and personal qualifications. Which school you graduated from is not a deciding factor... th...

Oh, no! I can't PM either for the same reason. Anyway, I'm attaching the link just in case, but it may be edited out Log into Facebook | Facebook Good luck!

Hey Perann, please PM me to send you the link.

That was a nice anti-government rant. However, the issue being discussed is related to the nurse's employer requiring them to get vaccinated. Any person with a couple of working neurons would realize that a hospital, with people in delicate health, w...

Hey Hope, That's exactly what I'm doing right now! I'm entering W9 and W4 for Research and APNII -- This has been tough for me... and I'm doing this full-time (hence the doubling up). Just today (or yesterday) I had to work on an assignment (a ppt f...

Hey Tam, I doubled up Theory (5.5 wks) during Patho (11 wks), then I went on to double APNI and APNII (5.5 wks ea.) during Research (11 wks), which I'm currently completing.

Vengeance, SU is regionally accredited by SACS-COC for the graduate program you're looking into. Graduating from a regionally accredited program does NOT mean you'd be limited to the states in said region. SU is also nationally accredited by the CCN...

Completed 3 classes, currently on week 4 of this class...

Congratulations! It's a tough journey although it is the best experience for those of us whose goals in life include becoming NPs.

dc4now, I did double up Patho and Theory (just finished week 2) -- There are no weekly papers on Theory. However, there's a big one due on Wk.3, group project on Wk.4, one one more after... Patho is tough! Very science-driven with tons of details. We...

Hi Lnewton1, So, you're one of the brave ones to double up on classes, huh? I'm looking to double up Patho and Theory starting next week... Anyway, Jenny is great at PMing the link to the FB page and I'll see you there soon! Ted

Melody48, Thanks for sharing this enlightening document with the rest of us. You're totally right! I really appreciate your initiative to dig this up; although from what the document says, SU is not on probation. It says that "The Board continued th...

Thanks for sharing the document with the pass rates lhflanurseNP! It contains very recent and up-to-date information that I had no previous access to. Also, you're right! The tuition went up after you graduated and it currently stands at $481/credit...

You're absolutely correct, lhflanurseNP!!! I did check with them just to make sure there was nothing going on... CCNE does NOT show South University as being on probation (or having ever been). For potential students/applicants: Please do not let y...

JennaBean, Many thanks for your post and for sharing your positive experience with SU. It certainly helps many of us to make such a difficult decision by following in the path you've trailed with much more confidence in the institution as well as the...

Hi azfliprn, I have extensively looked into FNP programs for years! First of, I decided against brick and mortar local universities as they have outrageously complex applications processes that take for ever, application deadlines are almost a year i...

Hi noureend, Coincidentally, just a few hours ago I wrote a public message to RedCarnation (also in the Orlando area) and thanks to her I was able to get a hold of someone over at Chamberlain... you can read the rest on the post. FYI, I'm down to Cha...

RedCarnation, Thanks immensely for PMing your adviser's info -- I have an update: I was able to reach her and I started the application process by e-signing 3 forms. You were right, she's great and has been very helpful. Thanks :) She asked who had r...
