Thinking of switching to U of P

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hi- I've been mulling over getting my BSN through University of Phoenix, and then their MSN. I'm currently finishing up my ASN at Excelsior (2 general eds to do). Can any current/past U of P students advise me on the realities of this program? I'm comfortable with distance learning, so no problem there...what I want to know from the horse's mouth is: 1.) How many papers per course are you required to write, 2.) Is it possible for me to be able to do some general eds at Excelsior while I'm taking nursing core courses at U of P, or would that be overload? 3.) How much out of pocket can I expect to spend? I want to do this program because it's Title IV (EC isn't), and while it's more expensive per credit hour, I'm hoping loans, etc. will cover the bulk of the cost. 4.) If you could change 1 thing about the program, what would it be? 5.) For any of you in their MSN program- do you find it's a good program for those who want to be nurse educators?

Thanks for any info you can give me on this. I talked to an advisor today, but I don't want to apply until I hear from other students who can give me the lowdown on these programs. Have a great day!

My first guess would be fla-MINI, but since you said that people don't pronounce it right I'd guess FLA-mini.

People beyond butcher my last name, so I feel your pain.

You look very fit and trim in your coffee chick picture. You are nowhere near being large.
