Doctor of Nursing Science - On-line

[tkcgjones]

With all this talk about entry level doctoral degrees for advanced nursing practice I began a search to find out what was out there. I found a program on-line that offered all I was looking for. The program is a Doctor of Nursing Science (DNS) through Breyer State University (BSU). It is a private, non-regionally accredited program. The university is accredited through several other agencies. The president of the university is a PhD prepared RN.

I post this because I want others to know of the program and to also receive input from the masses before I matriculate in the program. I accept the fact the program will not enable me to seek a university faculty position. It will however allow me to meet my personal goals to obtain a doctorate on-line and focus on a clinical practice of nurse anesthesia.

One can easily find the universities web site through a search for Breyer State University or Doctor of Nursing Science.

Jim, thanks for the research. You made me think - I should look at the faculty. I admit I only looked at those who were obviously nurses such as MSN or RN in their title and I was not able to find the one you mentioned. I did get bored looking at all the faculty listed so I may have missed the one you mentioned. I was pleasantly surprised to see faculty members with graduate degrees from Univ. S. Carolina, Purdue, Duke, U Phoenix to name a few. My figures are closer to $5000 but it beats U. Tenn at $38k/yr for out of state tuition.

Breyer State is run by the same people who run Canyon College- Great programs, but the degree is not worth the paper it is printed on. The students do real work, and work hard, but is only good if you are pursuing it for personal satisfaction. There are posts aboput canyon college on here, and have the same curriculums and same owners... choose wisely.
