Most Flexible MSN?

[JMDCNOR]

Hello all,

I'm looking for the most flexible part-time MSN program online. Ideally, it would offer the PMHNP specialization, but I'm open to anything with a part time practicum option. I'm willing to do a post masters PMHNP certificate afterwards (having then taken advanced pathophysiology, health assessment, and pharmacology).

Aspen seemed to be a great choice until I learned that 180 hrs must be completed within 8 weeks. This is nearly impossible while working full-time. I'm still looking into American Sentinel University. I hold a BSN, my GPA is 3.75, I've taken Stats, and I have over 10 years of experience as a CNOR in a trauma/burn center (I'm sick to death of OR, eventhough I'm a supervisor at a surgery center atm). Is something like this too good to be true ? (Regis is out. Its too expensive and requires too many credits that just repeat BSN topics)

Thanks in advance.

EKU seemed promising, but 2 courses at a time are required in some sessions.

I looked into Aspen but the lack of regional accreditation was a deal breaker. I am planning to go to Western Governor's University for MSN. Then maybe doing a post Masters NP cert. WGU is very flexible...go as fast as you want or do the minimum. It's competency based and you pay in 6 month blocks. Tuition is great and it has regionally accreditation and well as the needed nursing accreditation.

What did you choose? I’m in the exact same boat! I’m deciding now between WGU and AU. At AU the 180 practicum scares me but at WGU the full time requirement scares me! Would love to hear from you!
