   I was hoping someone would answer this post. I asked something similar and didn't get a response back either for the MSN program. I liked the program, just seemed too good to be true.

9. Fort Hays State University

   Laurab14 replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Online Learning

   I graduated in May and enjoyed the overall program. Some instructors were better than others. I had a few that were terrible, but I got out of the classes what I put in, which I think is typical for online learning. I was attracted by their low co...
