Which school for NP?

[KentuckyRN2Be]

I am having a really hard time deciding which school to attend for my NP. I have been accepted to Vanderbilt, University of MN and University of KY. My plan had been to go to Vandy for my MSN so that I could practice as an NP sooner, but when I got the financial aid letter with the amount of loans I would have to take printed in black and white, it really scared me. I can't decide if the Vanderbilt name is worth that kind of debt. UK and UMN are both DNP programs taking 3 years to complete. Vandy's MSN I can do in 18 months because I'm doing a dual program with Adult/Women's Health. I know that everyone has an opinion, but I would love to hear some perspective on whether a school like Vandy will get me any farther than another school that doesn't cost nearly as much.

Thanks!

I believe Georgetown is about 1600$ per credit hour. The information regarding tuition is confusing via the website. There may be a difference between online and on campus costs.

Do you go to Frontier School of nursing, I am applying there this week for the FNP program. I would like any input if you are attending this school.
