Eastern University??

Hi all! 
I am looking to make the plunge to get my school nurse certification. So far, I have looked into Eastern University, which seems pretty reasonable especially since I’m only looking to do an online program. Has anyone gone through them and if so, what were your thoughts? Also would love to hear from anyone who went to another school.

    Hi, I went through Eastern to obtain my CSN. Finished the program in 2017 and then went on to complete my master's degree with them. LOVED the program and would highly recommend it. I found the instructors to be engaging and felt the coursework really prepared me for the job. I know several others who have gone through Eastern and have never heard anyone offer a negative opinion. Good luck with your decision!

    Honestly, I was so done with school, but did want further certification, so I went the route of taking the national certification for school nurses. That is an option in my state vs getting my masters for me to get my professional certification as a school nurse through the department of education.

    Isn't it insane that if you moved to NJ or PA that you'd have to start back at square one and get a graduate certificate? (For that matter, I think it's the same for RI as well...)

    Why I'm not moving, even though I am originally from NJ :).

    So the NCSN doesn't work there? (RI, NJ, MA) One would think it would be  accepted everywhere in the states. Not that I'm planning to move but I do sometimes dream of living in RI again.

    NCSN is accepted in MA and can be used towards school nurse licensure. RI, PA and NJ have graduate certificate and/or degree requirements. I assume that private schools in those states are free to hire as they want, but I'm not positive about that.
