Help...Trying to choose an online FNP program

Nursing Students NP Students

Hi all,

Here is what I have narrowed down to my choices for an online FNP program and I need info from students who have attended so I can make my choice:

Frontier: Love this school but not that fact that I have to retake statistics or travel to Kentucky. I know it has a great reputation though. If you did attend this program, where did you take your statistics and why? The Froniter one is like $3500!!!

Maryville University: Love that I do not have to travel or take statistics but the reviews are not great. I like to think education is what you put into it though. Has anyone attended this school recently? Info I can find on these boards is several years old and the program was pretty new still.

University of Colorado, CS: Good reputation, but very expensive and I have not recieved an email back after requesting more information weeks ago. Also they only start programs once a year in Fall and I would like to get going on this before I am too old to see my textbooks. :sorry:

Any other FNP online programs I should check out?

Thank you for your input.

Check out: local B&M programs, Nursing@Georgetown, and Nursing@Simmons.

For what it's worth, statistics is a big part of your graduate preparation.

Statistics and campus travel are all very important.

Check out Olivet Nazarene University. You still need to take statistics, though. Statistics is very important for graduate education.

Look at local schools too. I chose my school locally and because a lot of people went for their RN to BSN there. Plus it was on my list of schools that my job would pay for

Thank you for all the feedback. I have taken statistics and understand the importance of it. I just don't want to pay to retake a class I already have under my belt. My statistics class was taken long enough ago that Frontier won't accept it. Other programs will still take it.

Unfortunately I live in the mountains of Colorado, so a "local" program is not an option for me. The closest school is in Albuquerque which is a four hour drive. Next is Denver-6 hour drive. This is why an online option is the best for me.

Has anyone heard anything about Maryville?

Thank you,

I see the Maryville ones listed all the time. I wouldn't necessarily say "local" as in go on campus. I am saying see if there is a local online campus. Technically my school is 3 hours or so away from where I am but I rarely go on campus
