Please no flaming:chair: :angryfire This is a serious request. I need to get a Masters and it doesn't necessarily have to be in nursing. I am looking for suggestions, as my job load right now doesn't afford me the luxury of spending a whole lot of time on any program. So thank you for any ideas or leads :idea: :kiss

I have yet to see any masters program that was not time consuming.

I don't know from where your need is comming but would it be sufficient to be actively working on a masters? Have you thoroughly explored and negotiated that as an option?

You might look at Excelsior College. They offer a masters in nursing. They are at ww.excelsior.edu.

Most of the people whom I know with masters obtained thier degree while working, many with children and all the other baggage that goes with adult life. It is doable.

I agree!!! When I was working on my Masters I was working full time during the day while taking classes full time in the evening and on weekends. In addition I was the single parent of a disabled child. I found it was very doable once I got the work-school-parenting routine down and I was able to complete my Masters in 2 years.
