Comparison chart for different online programs?

Nursing Students Online Learning

OMG, I am soooo confused! I have decided to go back to school, but my state only has 2 NP programs that would require me to uproot my life in order to attend. So, online it is!

So far, I am looking at University of Phoenix, Walden, Excelsior, , Chamberlain, and ISU. Does anyone know of any kind of comparison chart or something to point me to that compares costs, program length, structure, etc?

My ultimate goal is FNP, and I intend to work part time/per diem during my schooling. My state accepts AANP and ANCC accreditation.

I have looked through the first couple of pages of this forum, so I've done a little homework. So far, WGU is pulling out ahead.

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.

You'll probably have to make your own comparison chart. I'm attaching a PDF of a spreadsheet I made in 2008 to help me narrow down my choices, just to give you an idea of what I found helpful for me. Good luck!! :)
