What looked appealing about it exactly, Jessica? Just curious, coz I'll pass based on the price alone.

It keeps the thread from being "bumped" from the first page by other threads, so you don't have to hunt through pages of threads to find it again.

Do any of you have any thoughts on Walden University? I just got an add from them for 50% tuition decrease and am wondering how they are for an MSN?

I cannot find info regarding whom their accreditation is through. I know it says that they are "an accredited program", but it does not say by whom. (Most of the schools who say "we are accredited" but don't specify by whom or make you dig it up in the small print tend to wind up being accredited by some generic accrediting body rather than an entity that accredits nursing programs). Neither of the two major accrediting bodies for nursing (the CCNE and the NLNAC) list Walden University in their lists of accredited programs. I would be leery of a program that was not accredited by one or the other.

Feel free to PM or email. Thanks.

The only option you really have is Stafford Loans, Grants (Bachelor students only), and out-of-pocket cash.

Fort Hays State University

Tuition $102.60 per credit hour ($3811.25 total for RN to BSN with books & tuition)
CCNE approved
No traveling required

Cheri

the material i received from this school last week showed a grand total with books and tuition to be $4834...still good though! UW is about 4340 for tuition alone...still having trouble deciding which to do, awaiting additional info from UW in the mail. Anyone went to Fort Hays already and can answer some questions??

well guys, got some ques answered about fort hays and uw is looking better and better. fort hays does have group projects, powerpoint for every course, 3 separate clinical projects (no bedside nursing), in addition to lectures to watch, readings to download and additional tests. the uw student i spoke with said they are basically papers and some online chats-none of the other stuff! so they are now in the lead for me!

This sounds like the set up at UoP online. We do some group powerpoints, but really, for me, that seems the easiest part. Online message boards and papers are the thrust of our grades.

With so many of us here doing or having done excelsior RN program why isn't it included? Has anyone done excelsior BSN or MSN? If so what did you think of the program? I am in the middle of the RN program and am just wondering about their BSN/MSN program. TIA
