Cheap online MSN / FNP programs

After spending a couple full days last month applying to Georgetown's online program, I got accepted. The program is to start in March, and it's all online (except the 650 hours of clinical). I was so excited to get accepted, but am now realistically looking at the cost of tuition. $1500/hr x 45 hours = around $71,000. That's quite a bit of money, and I'm not rich by any means. I was hoping to find a program that is 30-50k.

Any recommendations on cheap online MSN / FNP programs?

I live in the D.C. area, and honestly wouldn't mind doing the program all online.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I'm doing Brandman and it's very flexible... But not cheap... Three years...

If anyone lives within reasonable driving distance to University of North Carolina at Wilmington, MSN-FNP tuition and fees is about $15,000 (according to what I can tell from the website; I've requested exact program tuition/fees and will update if needed) and it's mostly only. The website says about 4 visits to the campus per semester. I hope to apply next Spring for Fall 2015 admission and I live about 2 hours away.

It's hard to beat that price!

Le-Lee,

Can you send me the name of your school. I am looking for a post masters certificate as a Family Nurse Practitioner as I already have my Adult Nurse Practitioner and the FNP is definitely more marketable. I am so broke after paying a 1000/credit hour at WSU.

Same here,but what is GRE is that the same as GPA? Sorry if I sound clueless,I am new to all of these.Thank you for your time.

Hi,would you be able to continue your MSN to FNP?

GRE is the Graduate Record Examination which is one of the exams that may be required for admission into a graduate level program.

Thank you,corbinRN

GRE is graduate testing, but GPA is your grade point average.

I am rather upset about the search for a FNP program after having my ANP-The cheapest one I found will only accept half of my credits. I am thinking that this continued education is such a racket. It's a post masters certificate, not a masters degree. I am pretty disheartened by the whole thing and thinking I should have never gotten my ANP. At least I wouldn't have all that debt.

I just discovered a FNP program by Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. The credit hour fee is $860. Its:

Hey Tasha I am in the process of researching FNP programs and read the thread where you were pursuing your FNP in 2014. Just wanted to know how you are coming along in the program if you have not finished yet. I am really nervous about going back due to life changes that have occurred. I have 4 children and am trying to figure out how I will fit this into my life along with work and children. I know this is something that I want to do just don't know how to start.
