Masters Degree while traveling

I would like to start taking some classes towards my Masters Degree, but not real sure how to go about it while traveling. Has anyone ever done this or have any suggestions as to which programs are flexible and reputable?

I'm traveling while finishing my MSN in midwifery through Frontier. Frontier's program is distance. There are several distance MSN programs; many schools seems to have a distance component; search the forums here. I have to work to support myself and I didn't have a place to live when I transferred from my other program, so this worked out. I can work 3 12's a week, study the other 4. It's tough but it's the only way I can get through school and afford it. When I'm finished with coursework this fall I'll go to my clinical sites and live off the money I'm saving up now. There are several travel RNs in Frontier. You can do it! Just search the forums for names of schools.

Yes. Most likely nursing education, but have not decided for sure.

How many classes do you take? how much do you spend on classes? books and tution? I'm insterested in furthering my career.

I got my BS/MS in nutrition, distance while working a full time and a part time job. Was hard but I like others here, had to work while working towards other degrees.

Hi There RN on the Road!

Try Mansfield University in PA. It is totally online for nursing education. Also the University of Wyoming has a program for rural nurse educator which is totally online. Both are very reasonable as far as tution. No GRE for Mansfield either. Good luck!
