American Sentinel University

I have been looking into the RN-BSN program as well. I have checked with a few FNP programs, and due to its lack of regional accredidation would not be acceptable at a few that I have spoken to. Although some grad schools would accept it based solely on the CCNE accredidation. I have to say this may limit my options when it come time to apply to gradute school, and this really has me rethinking if ASU is the right place for me. I would really like to hear from an RN-BSN grads about their expierences with graduate schools. Any comments?

Can a graduate or current student shed some light on the degree of difficulty of the RN-BSN or RN-MSN programs? Are there tons of papers to write and lots of busy work? Just trying to get a feel for the complexity of assignments, etc. I don't mind studying I just don't want a program loaded with busy work. Thanks in advance.

With all the prior being said, what graduate programs WILL accept ASU degree holders?

Thank you for the information. I had never heard of this school either. I noticed that in many of
the online msn programs there is a practicum and capstone requirement. American Sentinel does not
have a practicum but a capstone is part of the curriculum. I am still researching other schools and I
haven't decided as of yet which one I will be attending.

I was wondering if you ever decided to enroll in American Sentinel. I too, am trying to attain my degree in Nursing Informatics. Choosing an online program is proving difficult.

Dear Ironfan! What grad school with NP programs would accept ASU which is non regionally accredited but CCNE accredited? I spoke with some, and none of them accept non regionally accredited schools.

I am a current student in ASU. It is a very good school, and I truly enjoy my studying. It is not easy, a lot of academic writings, researches and reading. I like it!

I am also a student at ASU, I am taking my first course. I am in the RN to MSN program. I have credit for 3 courses and have to take 3 more before I start the MSN part. You just have to be focussed to online learning as there are lots of papers to write and contributions to discussion groups. I am enjoying it. :nurse:

Has anyone been through American Sentinel's online DNP program?

Nursjoy -

I haven't been through their online DNP, but I have heard good stories about their faculty - and this is the only school that I've found that offers the DNP in nursing ed.

I haven't been through their online DNP, but I have heard good stories about their faculty...

Thanks Lynswim!

I heard positive reviews about their RN-to-BSN and MSN programs.

I have not heard anything about their DNP program.

I'm hoping any current or new DNP graduates could shed light on this program.

Will you be applying soon?

Any recent students taking the DNP Education track? I'm looking into applying and would value your opinions please.
