How to Blaze Through Capella's BSN and MSN Programs with FlexPath
Hey there future nurses! In
this blog post, I am going to lay open the ins and outs of the BSN and MSN
programs at Capella because of my experience doing papers for them, and if it
can be used to make your life easier, I will be more than happy.
Know the Grading Timeframes
This is key! Capella
instructors have 48 business hours to grade assignments after submission. So if
you submit on a Monday, expect your grade back on Wednesday. Turn in work
Tuesday, get grades Thursday, and so on. Holidays can delay this schedule, so
check academic calendars and plan timing strategically.
Create a Rock-Solid Schedule
Map out all assignments
for each course and aim to complete one per day. This is ambitious but doable
if you're highly motivated. I worked full-time with two young kids at home yet
finished assignments daily from 8pm-2am most nights. I pulled frequent
all-nighters too. It takes immense discipline, but establishing a tight
schedule is vital.
Incorporate Flexibility
No schedule is set in
stone. Build in some wiggle room for the inevitable hiccups along the way. I
had to change preceptors once which delayed me a few days. But flexibility
allowed me to get quickly back on pace.
Use All Resources Available
Capella provides sample
assignments, tutors, videos, and more. Access these to get guidance when
needed. The tutors' "Ask a Tutor" notes with video tutorials were
incredibly helpful for deciphering unclear assignment instructions.
Keep Two Classes Open
This lets you work ahead
if an instructor takes the full 48 hours to grade. I'd often finish entire
courses on weekends while waiting for grades. It also helps you maintain
momentum.
Choose Instructors Strategically
Research instructors in
Capella Facebook groups. Select fast graders to prevent lags between submitting
work and getting grades back. This small step makes a huge difference!
Compare Only to Yourself
Everyone learns at
different paces based on other commitments. Don't worry about how quickly
others finish. Just focus on your own goals and situation.
Take it One Assignment at a Time
Don't get overwhelmed by
everything on your plate. Just tackle the next single assignment. Each one you
complete puts you closer to the finish line.
Earning your BSN or MSN through Capella FlexPath in record time is completely achievable with laser focus, time management, and utilizing all resources available to you. It won't be easy, but you can absolutely blaze through these programs efficiently if it aligns with your motivation and goals.
