Masters degrees

I am researching a Master's as well. So far, I have found that Athabasca offers thesis base and course base.

My friend is taking a Master's in Health Studies at Athabasca University and is loving it. She graduated in a post RN program as well in May. 02

I am not sure which route I want to take. Secondly, Memorial University in Newfoundland offers a distance Master's of nursing program on line. Laurentian (Sudbury) is doing a distance education program for a Master's but this is their first year offering it...that doesn't sit well with me because it's the first year and that tends to not have all the kinks ironed out.

I am late for this year but will think of enrolling for Sept. 2004. I will research this first because I want to see who will give me the most for my past employment/educational background.

Let me know how you are making out.

FYI,
U of T does have a distance/online Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program which does give you a Masters.

This is the first year for University of Victoria as well, offering a online Masters. Their BScN program for RN's is great- fully online.

I just finished a BS/MS excelerated program through Clayton College. I loved it. They have numerous science degrees. My major is nutrition. Very reasonable. I paid with a discount for paying up front in 2001/4800 and that included my books. They are accredited. Yes it has opened numerous doors for me.

I've been seriously looking into a combined Masters/NP program, and was wondering if anyone out there could give me some insight: both Athabasca and UofT have this program...which is better, and if I took Athabasca, would that restrict me from working in Ontario??

I'm considering the option of Master of Nursing - Advanced Nursing Practice Stream in Athabasca University (I'm a Registered Nurse in Ontario, registered with CNO, have a Bachelor degree in Nursing, graduated in 1998 from non-Canadian university).

I have several questions related to this university:
1. Do you know if this program recognized by CNO for registration in Extended Class and what kind of exam should I pass for this class?
2. Could I work as a Nurse Practitioner in Ontario after graduating?
3. Is this university respected by hospitals and other employers in Ontario ?

Thanks to anyone who answers.
