Which school should I apply to?

[Phebee]

Hello everyone,

I have decided to go to school for Informatics. I am leaning towards applying to WGU because the payment seems reasonable and the school sent me a package explaining everything. However, I have received calls from other schools such as Walden, Chamberlain, and Capella. I am also researching schools such as Excelsior and Grand Canyon. I decided to do this online because the only school closest to my location is NYU and the price to attend that school is through the roof. Please let me know which school has the best program and a respectable reputation.

Has anyone ever registered with Thomas Edison State university for this topic?

I was initially enrolled in the WGU ADN-MSN Informatics program. I found the program to be too new and rather slim when it came to the actual informatics course work. If you research the best nursing informatic programs and then compare curriculums you will see what I mean. Also having the MSN Informatics is really not critical to gaining employment. I have read numerous articles online and spoke to an informatics nurse at my hospital. Having experience is the key. Experience can be had by becoming superuser/trainer, working on healthcare informatic projects, process improvement and with a Nursing quality improvement dept. Healthcare database experience is a major plus.
