Best schools

I have been accepted to University of Alabama for there FNP program but, I can get a full ride to University of Phoenix for their FNP program. I am not sure which way to go? Any advice would help. My job would pay 5250 a year toward University of Alabama.

Alabama all day. You’ll have a degree that people will actually respect. Phoenix is OK for someone who just needs a promotion related terminal degree. We saw this often in the military where someone needed a masters to get to their next pay grade. Past that, I wouldn’t trust a degree from there where someone needs to exhibit actual competency in a subject.
