I don't have a Master's degree from University of Phoenix, but I do have know a manager than does. Nobody questioned it and she is not only a manager but a clinical instructor for a university as well. I say go for it! I am planning on getting a Master's degree online, although not in nursing.
I am currently finishing my MSN through UOP with an Education focus. I checked with the college I want to teach for, they had no problem with UOP an currently have multiple instructors who did their MSN through UOP.
My degree will help me move to an educator role and if I wanted to stay at my current job in the hospital setting, would also allow me to move into the manager role.

Hi all,
I have been a RN for over 3 three years and did the traditional BSN program at a university. I started the FNP at the same university that graduated with my BSN but had to quit the program to accept a position at a prominent medical facility. I am wanting to return to school but not necessarily to a traditional university program. I have been looking at several online Master programs but question whether human resources would question the validity of the degree. I know all the progams I have looked at are regionally accrediated and almost all have some sort of national accrediation. My question is has anyone on the board done a Master's program online thru University of Phoenix? Did anyone have HR questioned the validity of the degree or has had a manager question it? Has the degree helped you move from a bedside position to a manager or educator?
Any information would be great!
