Re: Are All Distance Programs Created Equal?
I am a CNM student in Frontier's ADN-MSN bridge program. I chose Frontier because of the bridge program, their extensive experience with offering a high quality distance education, and the loyalty demonstrated to the school by former grads. I am now in my 3rd term (well past the honeymoon phase
), and I feel it is a great school. I had the opportunity to meet my classmates at Frontier Bound, the on-campus orientation. We have remained in close contact throughout our courses and many of us are now friends. We chat on facebook as well as the school forums. I feel very supported and the instructors are great.
I don't feel Frontier is more expensive than most graduate schools, but if money is a big factor in your choice, a local university may be what you're looking for. I can say with certainty that you'll feel you are part of a family at Frontier, and having that kind of support network behind me as I struggle through the tough parts of grad school is , to me, priceless. Good luck in your search, and your decision.

Ok, that was a litte tongue in cheek. I know it can be difficult to locate a preceptor in some areas. One of the nice things about Frontier is that they actually pay the preceptor and certify them as faculty. This gives the preceptor an incentive in their wallet, as well as on their resume. I don't think many schools do this. Good luck in your search.
