GEPN at Manoa

[Cranberrysauce6]

Hi!

i just found out I got accepted into the GEPN program at manoa for August. I'm pretty excited that I'm accepted but I have some concerns. Does anyone know much about this program (rigor, pass rates, difficulty)? I'm very concerned about the tuition...about 45k for in state for the first year.

My boyfriend is moving to El Paso Texas for grad school and I'm considering doing an accelerated BSN program with UTEP. This program is much cheaper but I would be only getting a BSN instead of an MSN. Is the extra tuition worth it for the masters at manoa? I already have a MA in health education and simply want to become a public health nurse. Is it worth it to get the MSN?

Thanks for any help!
