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, WGU, 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.

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!! :)
