So good! Here’s my question (because no one can give me a straight answer, which is a red flag): Will degrees earned at Capella be received at another institution for the next degree up? Will an undergrad at Capella be received for a masters degree elsewhere? Will a masters at Capella be received for a PhD study elsewhere? I’m not sure why no one can give a clear yes or no lol! It would be terrible to do an entire degree at Capella and then when it’s time to move on, they say that all the work and time put in isn’t accepted. This is important to me because Capella does NOT offer my choice of study for the masters nor phd programs even though it DOES offer an undergrad I’m interested in.
Hi Courtney! Thanks for watching. Great question. The best way to find out a definitive answer to your question is to call and speak with an enrollment advisor at perspective universities. However, as for me with a BSN I was accepted to different universities for a MSN yet I opted to stick with Capella. Addition, I went on to pursue a post master cert at another institution and was accepted to others for the same program. I hope this was helpful.
Hi!! I’m interested in starting the flex path program. I am apprehensive and to be honest quite nervous. I haven’t been in school in over 15 years. I would appreciate any words of advice. Thanks in advance.
Hello IAmKennedysMomma!! Thanks for watching. I was a bit nervous at first myself. Be sure to familiarize yourself with APA format. You can find some resources here www.nycclinicalworkshop.com/blog/apaformat Also, try to map out a tentative schedule of when you would like to have assignments completed. Pace yourself & utilize your resources. You’ve got this!!! Remember why you want to get started and don’t lose focus on that. Wishing you all the best. Don’t hesitate to ask any more questions.
Thanks for watching! From what I recall, you cannot select an instructor for your very 1st class but after that you should be able to do so for the BSN/MSN. Your academic advisor is the best person to speak in regards to how you can choose a professor.
Nurse Reese, I'm inspired by your nursing educational journey. I have some questions about one of your courses. I'm not a social media person, I just joined youtube to subscribe to your channel and I FB to do my "research" on professors. So, I started the MSN and got stuck with a difficult instructor for my first course. Did you encounter this? If so, how did you handle it? She took the entire 48 hours to grade an assignment and now it's past the drop date. It's the Comm/Collab course and she is being extremely picky!!! I had no issue with the BSN (4.0)
Hi Cho Li, thank you so much for watching and taking out the time to join UA-cam. Congratulations on your 4.0 in the BSN program!!! 🎉🎊🎈 To answer your question.. Yes, I did encounter this as well during my 1st course in the MSN program. Like you, I also received a 4.0. So, in my mind I thought my writing couldn’t have went from distinguished to basic overnight. Lol. It was a little discouraging. However, I reviewed the feedback and made the necessary additions. And, those few sections went from basic to distinguished. What I find is that many of the instructors who facilitate the first course may not have many other courses; so they know exactly what they are looking for and what they want to see. I will say.. I did grow a lot from that first class. It make the ones to follow seem easy. Push through, you’ve got this. And, feel free to ask me any other questions you may have. Best wishes on your MSN journey 😊.
@@Dr.ReeseNP Thank you for the feedback and encouragement. I made the changes and received an A and then she did the same thing on Assessment 2 with a worse grade??? At this point I just want to drop her and get a new instructor. With so much back and forth I'm not learning. Thank you tho!
@@choli1232 I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. I’m not sure if you are aware but you can drop the course within the first 12 days with no penalty and call academic advising to reenroll with a new instructor. You will be able submit the same work with a new instructor. Call academic advising for help. Keep pushing! It WILL get better.
Congratulations on finishing in the time frame that you did. I am beating myself up because I started in July and I was hoping to finish in 2 billing sessions. Today is the last day of my 2nd term and I am not close to finishing. I am struggling to figure out how to even start assignments. I do have a busy work schedule which has hindered my success at completing in the time frame but have decided to take a leave of absence from my PT job so I can focus on school. I am currently trying to complete 4010 and I am having trouble with the Kaltura. Please if you have any advice on how to complete these classes I would greatly appreciate any advice or information you can provide.
Hi Melizabeth, thanks so much for watching. And, thank you for the congratulations :) Please do not beat yourself up. You've mentioned taking a leave of absence from your part time job; this is a part of some of the sacrifices some of us may have to take. I just put out a new video on some things that I have done to help me move through the program. As far as Kaltura, let me know if you have a Macbook or something else and I will send you the workaround. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.
@@Dr.ReeseNP Thanks for responding. I also just finished watching your video and I will use some of your tips to help me through the program. I have a Windows surface.
No problem! Okay great. Let me know how things work out. Try this link for Kaltura work arounds blink.ucsd.edu/faculty/instruction/tech-guide/instructional-videos/videos-canvas/troubleshooting/kaltura-capture-wont-upload.html If you don’t see what the issue is. Try a Google search for your problem and add your device in the search. Exp. Kaltura not uploading on Macbook
Hey Scottia! Thanks for watching. In the BSN program I believe there are 3 Assignments in the first class. The 4 in the rest of the classes leading up to the Capstone which has 5. MSN-Ed- There are 3 assignments for the majority of the courses that are not specialty. Then the majority of the specialty course have 4 assignments. 1 specialty has 5, and another specialty course has 3. MSN-Ed Capstone has 6 assignments. Hope this was helpful!
Girl! I could have done the 8 core classes in the bsn FP in 5 to six weeks ....but The holiday schedule is going to have me doing nothing for 4 whole days until my 4030 teacher finishing grading my last assessment and my 4040 teacher grades all four of my assessments. it is the ending of the 3rd week tomorrow and I have 3 electives that popped up because my transfer credits were finally transferred on the 3rd week.... and 3 core nursing classes left. (I have 4050,4060 and 4900 to do 😅) But watching your videos before starting capella, gave me hope and I might just start MSN right after. ❤️
Hi Reece. Are you able to choose your instructors? I have a screenshot of your recommendations and I start my MSN-Ed 8/8!! Thank you for sharing so much information! You are amazing 💗
Hey Nurse Kate! Thanks for watching and congratulations on your acceptance. From what I recall, you cannot select an instructor for your very 1st class but after that you should be able to do so for the BSN/MSN. Your academic advisor is the best person to verify this with. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks for this review. I am taking the second course in the MSN Education program. Have you ever submitted two assignments at the same time? Or submitted one before the previous one was graded?
Thanks for watching. Yes, I have submitted all assignments at once. However, it is up to each instructor. So, be sure to watch their videos on each course/assignment and read the messages about the course/assignments. The information provided will let you know how they want you to submit the assignments. Also, some assignments may build on one another. Therefore, the instructor may require you to wait for feedback before submitting the next assignment. Hope this was helpful. All the best!
Good evening and congratulations on her achievement. I stumbled upon your videos and watched all thought this day. I have my BSN from another college and thinking about going to cappella for Master's in nursing education and nerves got the best of me. Your videos did help clam some of my nurse. But I am now thinking about how to choose professors since its my first time and I don't know anyone that attend or attending this school.
Thank you Cheryl! And, congratulations to you on choosing to further your education. You will not be able to select your professor for your 1st course. However, you will be able to for all other classes. Reach out to your academic advisor for more information. Wishing you all the best 😊
Hi She is Sōb! Thanks for watching! I handed in assignments when I completed them. It averaged out to an assignment a day ( give or take). During capstone was the only time I waited for assignments to be returned before handing another one.
Great video! I happened to stumble across your video and it was very encouraging. Recently, I completed my MHA degree at Capella University in January 2021. Shout out to all the 2021 grads! I completed it in nine months. However, I could have completed it much sooner. I enjoyed the flex path program. Thanks for sharing.
I am just watching this now. I just started the MSN program in leadership (as they said this is closest to a generalized MSN) I am curious how your experience was as far as work-life-school balance. I work full time, and am hoping to get this done in a reasonable amount of time but not stress myself out too much. Any advice would be appreciated
Hi Jim, I completed my the MSN during the height of the pandemic so.. work-life-school was all pretty balanced. I did sacrifice a lot of weekends to get most of the work done. My advice is to create a plan and try to stick to it as much as possible.
2:50 this is so true!! My financial aid was process weeks ago but they keep on telling me I’m missing something? Also my enrollment counselor seems clueless and he misinformed me on Sophia classes access ....so now I have to do my 3 electives with Capella 😩 I only had 3 nurse core classes left and now I gotta do electives 😅
You have great videos and are very informative! I appreciate it. When you obtained your degrees are you in NYC or even in the state of new york? I am looking to complete the same path but unsure if it would be considered a useless degree?
Hey Shaquana!! My end goal at the time was to obtain my NP. My degrees from Capella were instrumental in allowing me to do so at a more affordable rate and in less time. Figure out what your goal is and how the degree can be used to benefit you.
Thank you for sharing. I’m starting the Flex Path program in Oct 2023
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations, I am nervous to start. Do you really have to be good at writing papers ?

Will do. Thanks for watching!

I’ve watched your videos and went to the blog link you shared but it wouldn’t open. I was interested in the professors for msn education program
Check here.. www.xonursereese.com/blog/category/capella-bsnmsn-instructor-list
Thank you
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much! Would you still recommend Capella amidst the negative you mentioned?
Absolutely! And, I do all the time. No school is perfect. I just wanted to be transparent. Thanks for watching 😊.
Communication with them is really bad. I can agree on speaking to anyone that can help you!
Definitely!
Did you use financial aid and if so do they refund to the amount they didn’t use for the program?
Hey Morgan! No, I did not use FA..
How long does it take to get the Bachelors degree in Business or in general in Flex?
It depends on the person. Some people can achieve a bachelors degree via FlexPath on one term and others take longer.
@@Dr.ReeseNP is 1 term like 1 year?
12 weeks

Heyyyyyy congratulations!!! How do you know which instructors to pick?
Visit the blog my personal review of instructors www.nycclinicalworkshop.com/blog/review-of-capella-bsnmsn-instructors
I can’t open the link.
wwww.xoNurseReese.com scroll down until you see the post
I get whatever professor is assigned the class.
Mine the opposite I’m the hard one to reach my academic will definitely reach out lol
Very true. So, instead press the option to speak to any advisor. It doesn’t have to be your personal advisor. Best wishes 😊
Who was your advisor?
Hi Annie, I honestly do not recall. I do know the person switched a couple of of times.
What do you mean by needing a preceptor?
Hey Shelby! Thanks for watching. You will need a preceptor during your practicum. A preceptor is like a clinical instructor..
@@Dr.ReeseNP ok, I didn’t know that we would need one, your the first to mention that about Capella, thanks!!
Yes, for the MSN FlexPath program you will need one. I didn’t during the BSN FlexPath program. I’m not sure if that has changed.
I was referring to the MSN program. I didn’t need a preceptor for BSN. I’m not sure if that was changed d/t covid. But, thanks for the info!
Thanksssss
Did you have to do a residency?
Practicum.. yes.
