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 rehashing this because I, too, would like reviews on the above schools. Experiences anyone?

If you start looking at public schools and avoid for-profits, you'll find lower tuitions. Not 100%. Big name state schools might be pretty expensive too, but less well known schools are where I'd look.

This was at the top for me and I'm not sure why. All of the posts are super old and I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. I rehashed this thread because I wanted feedback. It already had good information so no point in starting a new one. I'm curious about the different schools/programs mentioned and wanted feedback from people who attends/completed these programs.

I am at Walden. I got a scholarship for 4000.00 and the military discount of 10 percent which helped cut my cost. I will start my clinicals in November.

Does the military discount apply to veterans or just active duty?

I am in the initial process of applying for Walden's RN-BSN-MSN program. I will need some scholarships to offset the tuition cost. I was wondering as to where to find scholarships. I can no longer apply for student loans.

I am not sure because you are in a different program than I am . the scholarship I received because I was a MSN student. I am sorry you have exhausted your financial aid so soon in this process. I would probably ask the admissions rep what they have to offer as well. If you are an RN I would look at employers who provide tuition reimbursement as well.

Great to hear.

Has anyone graduated from a MSN at Grand Canyon University? I am looking at it. I spent a ton of money on my BSN at a very highly regarded school and I don't want to spend that kind of money again ( I was so poor for so long!). Any pro's or cons of GCU would be welcome!
