You may want to clarify, Nursing@Simmons (online program) or Simmons (brick/mortar program) so you get the right responses.

Best of luck.

Do you guys know if they do clinical placements for their students?

Simmons does.

That makes a world of difference. I'm trying to decide if that ( clinical placement) is worth the extra $30,000 in tuition. Also found the below article. I am torn between Simmons and my Alma Mater which has a very good program as well, but is half the cost.

I've been accepted to Nursing@Simmons FNP program for the November 2016 cohort. The program sounds great, however the two things that concern me are the cost and the required live classes. My admission rep told me classes are offered from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET depending on the class, but I'm just concerned about fitting them in with my work schedule....

I'm hoping to continue working full-time for the first year until clinicals begin and then I may consider cutting back to part-time at work. How are you all financing the tuition? From my research, the max amount your can borrow in federal direct loans is $20,500/year. That leaves a big gap in Simmons tuition....

Nursing was my second bachelors so I had to kind of go through the same process with financial aid- I'm going to have to take out private student loans with navient (aka sallie mae) to cover the gap
