Jacksonville University

The degree that I recently obtained from Jacksonville University has made a positive impact on my nursing career. Post completion of my BSN degree I was offered a management position with a significant increase in pay. The skills that I learned from Jacksonville have prepared me for this management position. Obtaining my BSN inspired me to continue my education further to obtain my MSN-FNP. I never had aspired to continue a higher education eight years ago yet the positive experience that I had provoked... Read More me to think critically and exercise new skill sets that I have learned. I am excited to pursue this new found dream. I encourage all others to exercise their mind and pursue furthering their education.

I attended the online Bachelor's program at Jacksonville University. When I inquired about the program I was assigned an advisor who walked me step by step though the admission and financial aid processes. He was fabulous. He had an in-depth understanding of these processes, having that information made it easy for me to make decisions about enrollment. Taking classes through the school of nursing was super easy. The lectures are online and you can listen to them when you are ready. Deadlines were... Read More reasonable. They weren't there to stress you out but to make sure you learned. Professors responded promptly to questions. The blackboard system was easy to learn, I was up on going in no time at all. The ability to interact with classmates was easy and encouraging. I would highly recommend this school to anyone contemplating an online degree program.

Loved my time at Jacksonville University for my BSN. In fact, I'm preparing to start my MSN currently. The 8 week classes are tough, but fair and I felt they adequately prepared me for my degree. In addition to preparing me for my role in nursing. I truly have no complaints about the online classes and processes as the technology was easy to use, the books were reasonable, the teachers were fair and provided excellent instruction. Overall, I would strongly recommend attending Jacksonville for a BSN.... Read More

I've just finished my 4th MSN course and I honestly haven't learned much. The concept is that the instructors have doctoral level degrees. The problem is that so far, not a single instructor has done ANY teaching. There are prefabricated lessons. You respond to the assignments by posting on a discussion board. You are also required to write research papers. There are no tests. Teachers are supposed to be available via email but don't hold your breath waiting for a response. When your papers are graded,... Read More you don't get them back. You may get a couple of sentences on a post called "professor's comments" but you aren't getting a paper back so can't improve since you can't see what you did wrong. I am still trying to figure out why this school is ranked so highly. So far, I'm really not impressed.
