My question is to all the NP's and those with MSN's, did any of you achieve a degree through an online program? If so how was it? Did you find it difficult or easier than traditional class work? Which online program did you go with? How long after getting your BSN did you wait? Thanks in advance for any info :)

I'm doing an online MSN now. I've been a nurse for 12 years (ADN), got my BSN in 2004 and will (crossed fingers) be done with the MSN in 2005.

The clinical's for Graceland University are set up in your own town. You have to find yourself a preceptor and then they sign a contract that you will get your hours there. The school does on site visits to make sure you don't make up your clinical sites.
Sounds very interesting, Thanks for the info :)

University of Phoenix. I currently teach the Community Health Nursing courses. :)
Its easy , You pick who you wnat to work with. So if there is a Doc or an N P who you admire . You ask them and the school arranges a contract with the preceptor . I'm doing my adult specialty with a wonderful Doc.:)

I am presently working on my MSN at the university of phoenix. It is not easy
you have to wite a lot of papers and work on teams which can be quite difficult. I have taken six classes. wish me luck. if you have any other questions let me know
I am now halfway through the MSN with University of Phoenix. I also did the BSN program with UofP.
I am starting the Nursing Research class today. Have you taken it? how was it?
