RN-FNP Online

[ginceasar]

Hi all! Has anyone found a good RN-FNP program online that does not require GRE and maybe does not charge out of state tuition rates? I have already applied to U.S.A but this is really a difficult school to get in to. GPA is 3.5 or higher, which I have but many people apply 2-3x for this program.

Many schools are changing over to DNP program requirements, as it will become mandatory and ISU which had a great FNP online program but they have already changed over to DNP requirements. I believe the date is 2014 mandatory.

If anyone has any suggestions I am eager to get in other applications ASAP. I am ready to get out of ICU after 11 years.

Thanks. :)

I can tell you honestly I suck at algebra, calculus, trig and others totally. Yet, I have earned two bachelor's degrees, one in nursing without having to suffer through any of those classes. The thought of taking the GRE or GMAT terrified me. Instead, I applied (18 months ago) to Ball State's FNP program and will (finally!) begin this fall. Per credit hour even including out of state tuition, they are going to cost me less than Kent State, U of Cincinnati, Cleveland State, OSU, etc... 27K total (classes, books, fees, etc...). I may be 27 K more in debt in three years, but FNP's around Ohio can make 140K/yr plus. Eventually I would like to do Cardiology or Oncology for my speciality, and fill the hospitalist's role too someday.

Hello everyone,

I am a resident of Texas and so looking into different FNP programs . I am having hard time to find which is good program since having multiple reviews - positives and negatives. So far UTEP seems good and has good reviews but I live in Dallas so not sure if that would require travel then what they have mentioned (3-4times each sem , in last 3 sems).

I have thought about UTA but have so far got more negative reviews. TWU needs GRE so don't want to go.

Please help!

Thanks
