My question is to all the NP's and those with MSN's, did any of you achieve a degree through an online program? If so how was it? Did you find it difficult or easier than traditional class work? Which online program did you go with? How long after getting your BSN did you wait? Thanks in advance for any info :)

I'm doing an online MSN now. I've been a nurse for 12 years (ADN), got my BSN in 2004 and will (crossed fingers) be done with the MSN in 2005.

Hi I completed by BSN in a traditional college campus about 16 years ago. I am almost done to comleting my MSN/NP on line . I am going to Graceland University. It is not easy ,you have to remain focused and really want it, but it was a wonderful experience and I recomend it highly.I work full time and this was my only way to acheive my goal ..... good luck:)

The clinical's for Graceland University are set up in your own town. You have to find yourself a preceptor and then they sign a contract that you will get your hours there. The school does on site visits to make sure you don't make up your clinical sites.

Its easy , You pick who you wnat to work with. So if there is a Doc or an N P who you admire . You ask them and the school arranges a contract with the preceptor . I'm doing my adult specialty with a wonderful Doc.:)
