Good online NP school for a non nursing bachelors degree

[dressagedevon]

I am trying to decide on FNP schools where you don't have to have a bsn. I have a b.s. in biology and a m.s. in biology and don't want to go get my bsn before starting FNP school, so what are good schools that fit that requirement. I feel like I've searched and searched but when I start digging in they want bsn. Want no bsn, no gre, and online, preferably part time and with several start dates not just once a year. Is this to much to ask?

P.s. have applied to Simmons, recent reviews I have found online scare me, especially with a 60k price tag! Any help would be greatly appreciated

At one time when I heard NP I knew it meant someone with several years RN experience that was on top of their game and went back to school. Now, not so much so especially with the direct entry programs. Someone I work with was stating there is someone in his NP that was direct entry and graduate @ 22 y/o with no previous experience. I got nothing against youth but if your going to work on me, you gotta have been around the block once or twice and seen some stuff. Schooling is one thing and experience something totally different. I'll take experience over schooling any day of the week.

Don't get me going on the plethora of online only NP programs always attempting to be the shortest. When Medical schools are online only, then I'll by into NP schools being online only. NP's want to do what docs do, they gotta know what doc's know.

My lawyer didn't go to online only school, neither did my account. I'm old school and simply not buying on-line only for truly important professions.
