NP programs in Texas...

Hey folks,

I'm considering my options as far as NP (ACNP mostly, but also FNP) schools and I am concerned about the cost. I have entertained the idea of moving to Texas, working for a year to gain residency, and then applying to some Master's Programs.

I've been pretty interested in the websites of some schools (especially UT Houston), and was wondering if I could get some input on their NP programs.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at tech myself. they have a great reputation and Lubbock although off the beaten path is cheap. Plus alot of work for those that look hard enough

Hi,

If you are considering Texas for your NP program. Send transcripts to one or two schools to evaluate before you make a big move.

I did not do my undergraduate work in Texas -so it was going to take me an extra year -to do remedial coursework before i could even apply to their grad program. I moved to Florida and am almost done w/ my program, then I''ll move back to texas....

I do love san antonio!

That's great advice. Which program are you in? Are you paying out of state tuition or did you get in-state residency?

I'm beginning to see that many of these programs are $30-45,000 total. There has got to be a cheaper option!

I'm going to University of Miami -private university no residency discount. Tuition is 36,000 with tuition break for full time- 3 semester lock step program -if you go part time or fail a class (below 83%) you lose the deal and then I'm not sure how you are charged. For me for a 1yr+ program it balanced out w/ the high tuition costs and not being able to work for the year....for other people it may not make sense...

Don't rule out Texas A&M Corpus Christi. I will be starting their FNP program this fall

The best kept FNP secret in Texas is the program at midwestern state university, in wichita falls. The cost is listed at about 15,000 per year. I live at home and am only paying tuition, so it's only costing me about 2000 per semester. The admission criteria is minimal. Anyone who goes anywhere else is wasting their hard-earned money.

Also, anyone thinking about FNP needs to jump in now because in 2015, all master's degree programs will stop, leaving only DNP option.
