South University FNP MSN program???

[TashaLPN2006RN2012]

So did anyone or is anyone currently in the FNP or Adult NP online program at this time? I spoke to an admissions rep and was really impressed. The set up is nice with one course at a time, although was told you can talk to your advisor and sometimes layer your courses here and there as well (like an 11wk course with one 5.5 wk course) which I'd prefer to do to get done faster...since I did my ASN at Excelsior and am finishing my BSN I'm well used to online format courses and have my time down to a science. I was planning on beginning my application process now, so that in December we submit everything with the potential to start the first week of Feb 2014...anyone else??? Any thoughts???

lhflanurse, wow! U are almost done! I will be in practicum this Fall and I am still looking for preceptors. Do you have any recommendations?

[lhflanurseNP, APRN]

My one recommendation is not to look at corporate offices (ones with multiple offices in a wide geographic area). Contact your local NP group...they have resources and offer lists of agreeable preceptors. You may have to travel a little (I am going to have to drive 30 minutes on the next rotation), but that's not bad. My preceptor told me she had to travel 2 1/2 hours for one set of rotations with her school (brick and mortar).

Hi. How are you ?

I am in the fnp program as well, and i am taking a research class right now. I have been having some trouble with the research proposal, and the teacher isn't helping.we asked her for a sample and she told us that we must ask another student who has already taken the class to show us a sample. Is there any way you can email me your research proposal as a sample to see how i am supposed to complete the task?

Thanks, landylove

landylove, I have sent you what I have. Hope it helps...would have liked to have help on mine too . This class stinks no matter where you take it. I came across a comment from one student at a brick and mortar school who commented it was "the ninth circle of hell". I thought that was quite appropriate and helped me calm down a lot!

WOW freedomrn1.....sounds like you had an atypical experience at South compared to many students. I am currently in my 3rd class and find all of the instructors very helpful and grading according to the assignment rubric. Also, the students I am in class with have started a FB page and I find none of these complaints from any of my cohorts. Each student much do what they see fit but I haven't seen any other negative posts regarding this school.

Are you in an online program or on ground program? I may be starting in June!
