Hi, did you pay out of state tuition? I noticed on the website, tuition was $94 credit hour, did not see what it was for out of state applicants. Thanks!

I just took the Pathophysiology test 7/14/07. I received an "A". I used pathophysiology made incredibly easy and found tons of sites on the internet to study. I also ordered a CD on ebay. I did not buy the book recommended by Excelsior. I studied for 3 weeks then took the test. I

I am currently attending UOP online. It is very time consuming and expensive but, not that hard. I have taken 6 classes and received A's in all of them. Most of my instructors have been good, had one awful one but still got an A. Classes are 5 weeks long and you have to do a few papers and team powerpoints. I have learned a lot. Not sure if I am going to finish out my last 5 classes with them, only because they want me to take Statistics again and that ****** me off. I may return to Excelsior because I only need 3 classes to graduate.

I chose South University for my RN to BSN. I had a TON of credits transfer (more than the average RN). I'm in my first class now (an IT class) and it's going great so far. Taking 2 classes every quarter (part time), I will have my BSN in about 2 years. Bring it on!

South University does NOT require clinicals. That's not the reason I chose them, but it's a huge perk!

Hello! I am just completing my MN thru Dundee. While the program has high standards I have found the faculty to be very helpful, and have completed 8 modules successfully. The program is also very flexible, which has enabled me to continue to work full time. This is a good choice if you can have the discipline to work independently, yet allows for flexibility 'when life happens'. The program is also very affordable in comparison to many others out there.

I am so happy with the University of Dundee. I agree, they have high standards and I have learned so much. I get to write about what I am interested about. The staff is super helpful. I completed my BN and I am now in the MN program. I am so glad they are there.

Nurse Re: RN to BSN online
Hi everyone,

I am intrigued by the quote I saw below:

Hello. Why was it almost impossible to write a "passable" paper for Univ of Dundee? I also pm'd you, since I am curious about Dundee, since I recently enrolled. Thanks!

I am currently enrolled on the Dundee MSN program, and I have to disagree with the above statement. I have had 7 papers "passed" and am now working on my research dissertation. I also know two other students who have recently graduated from the MSN program at Dundee.

What you have to know about UK education is that it is different from the US. The last 2 years of "high school" in the UK are almost the same level as US college. Undergraduate work in College for a Bachelors (or "University" in the UK) is kind of like Masters work in the US.....and so on, you get the picture! I think I can attest to this as I am from England.

In simple terms the standards are high - yes! I have been published many times in nursing journals and YES my papers were sent back for re-working - but in the end they PUSHED ME to do better and THAT FOLKS is what higher education is all about! No one said it would be EASY!

The people and support at Dundee are AWESOME! The MSN costs under $10,000 and you know you are getting a quality education. If anyone would like to contact me to find out more please e-mail me! I'd be happy to help

Sharon
