rawz2014, APRN, CRNA Specializes in Crna. Sep 16, 2014 Im in the process of looking at a lot of different schools. So far I got Georgetown, KU, southern Alabama, duke, and Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt by far is the most expensive. Its the one I want to go to the most, but ive almost eliminated because of cost.... any thoughts? anyone of those you would steer clear of all together? im still early in the process.... 0 Likes
OBigdog26, MSN, RN, NP Has 8 years experience. Sep 16, 2014 Make sure some of the schools your looking at online is licensed in your state. There have been issues here in NC regarding online/distance based education not being recognized by the UNC board of governors. As a result, I'm limited to which schools I can apply to and become a NP. 0 Likes
rawz2014, APRN, CRNA Specializes in Crna. Sep 16, 2014 I cant imagine any of those schools not being ok in every state. There all pretty well known, big names. 0 Likes
zmansc, ASN, RN Specializes in Emergency. Sep 17, 2014 I think FNU is the only online FNP program that is accepted in NC and not based in NC. Although I applaud FNU on the hard work it took them to get approved, I do think it is a disservice to future FNPs in NC to limit their options so significantly. 0 Likes
rawz2014, APRN, CRNA Specializes in Crna. Sep 17, 2014 I don't understand... are you saying if you get your NP degree from Vanderbilt or KU, you cant apply for license, or apply in NC? 0 Likes
futureeastcoastNP Sep 17, 2014 I think FNU is the only online FNP program that is accepted in NC and not based in NC. Although I applaud FNU on the hard work it took them to get approved, I do think it is a disservice to future FNPs in NC to limit their options so significantly.It's a wonderful service to the patients of NC, however, as they won't run into as many for profits grads unprepared to treat them. I applaud any state that takes steps to limit the ability for any idiot nurse to become an NP. It seems in NC, you must actually work hard and get into a real school. Good. The boards don't enforce standards so I'm glad at least some states do. 0 Likes

DukieRN Oct 4, 2014 As a Duke employee i looked into their NP program and the cost is closer to $80,000, depending on how many cresits you need. Base price is $1400 per credit. It is a good program but not worth the cost IMO. Currently NC does not accept all NP programs from out of state. If you call the NC board of Nursing they can tell you if it has been approved by the state. Unfortunately it is not the BON controlling it but a joint cooperation between the state and UNC. 0 Likes

I believe Duke has a good program from what I have heard. As far as the cost, I'll have to work for the rest of my life to pay it off, lol.It's unfortunate that NC has a very limited online NP program. Hopefully, it will change soon.Sent from my iPhone using allnurses 0 Likes

chevygirl1987 Specializes in Stepdown, PCCN. Has 10 years experience. Oct 27, 2014 I am applying for fall 2015. I applied for spring 2015. I had to take the GRE to be eligible, some grades from a long time ago coming back to haunt me, though I missed the cut off just barely. They are rolling all my stuff over into this application, which I think is pretty nice. Good luck to you. 0 Likes
