Bricks and Mortar vs. Distance Learning....

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

I have been going back and forth about going back to shcool for a MSN degree. I really would like to advance myself, but I cannot decied if I shoud do the Walden route or online classes thru a brick and mortar institution.

I kind of feel like I will not be taken seriously with a degree from Walden. Not that it should be that way, cuz I have heard it is a hard road!!

Any opinions on this??

What concentration would you be looking at?

I am still undecided. I have things I like and dislike about each of the concentrations Walden offers.

IMO definitely do the online option of brick and mortar. As distance learning gets more and more popular there WILL be a difference in perception between virtual universities and brick and mortar. More and more online schools pop up and quality becomes an issue.

I agree. An increasing number of highly reputable brick and mortar schools are offering online options. Find one that suits you and you'll get both the convenience of an online program and also the long-term experience and the earned reputation of the brick and mortar university.
