Exactly!! Check out CUNY SPS for their masters. Affordable and Reputable.

This why I didn't go to WGU. A preceptor should be provided for you through your nursing department at the school. CUNY SPS never put us through this.

Things are different than in 2010.

Thank you! I hope anyone reading my responses stays far away from schools like Capella and WGU. If you are a New York resident, you have much better options than those for profit schools. https://open.suny.edu/degrees/nursing?fields=health-sciences

first of all, you took it personally because you probably are one of those who went to one of those scam schools with an MSN program. If not, why are you taking it personally? Critical or not, Do some research and you will see all the lawsuits pending for the MSN program. Just because they are “accredited” does not make it a quality institution. Many for-profit schools are now accredited but they do not provide students with the much needed support at reasonable prices and they have poor reputations in the workforce. This is why I always vouch for CUNY SPS or SUNY online programs. They are affordable, accredited, reputable and of quality. Yes, due to those factors CUNY/SUNY is a much better option. fyi: her/his school should've arranged that on her/his behalf.

To many RNs are attending for profit institutions and paying a lot of money for a little return. Look at reputable schools like the following: https://sps.cuny.edu/academics/graduate/master-science-nursing-informatics https://nursing.nyu.edu/academic-programs/masters-ms/informatics https://www.nursing.pitt.edu/degree-programs/master-science-nursing-MSN/nursing-informatics-online https://nursing.vanderbilt.edu/MSN/ni/index.php https://www.sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/nursing/academic_programs/masters_programs/nursing_informatics.php https://nursing.rutgers.edu/academics-admissions/graduate/masters/nursinginformatics/ https://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/academics/grad/nursing-informatics/careers/ I will be graduating from my BSN Nursing Program as of May 22nd after completing a 1-year program. That is going to be my second degree. The first one in Computer Science and the second one in BSN. I am looking at CUNY's online Nursing Informatics program once I get my nursing license and current registration. The program is reputable through an actual university, and more importantly, a public university which means low tuition and a better standard of education compared to for-profit institutions. Also, The scholarships! The Online MS in Nursing Program Scholarship The Online MS in Nursing Program Scholarship provides financial, academic, and career support to workers in the healthcare system pursuing an advanced nursing degree at the CUNY School of Professional Studies. Recipients of the scholarship will receive funding towards tuition in the semester for which they apply. Award amounts may vary based on financial need but are expected to be $1,320 for the semester.

I am currently working at ivy league hospital and I was a developer for the last 10 years. Now, I am a Dev there. Go to the NI program at Chamberlin, it's your life. I know better from talking to many of the Nurses in the NI field that I work with and are mentors in my life. Good luck!

OK, Well that was not made known in this post. I am not going to back to old posts to fetch that information. Thank you tho.

Looking into Chamberlain to do my Masters in Nursing informatics.. Is this an online program? I have a bachelor's in computer science... Would this be credited? Thanks! She/He said they have a Bachelor's in CS. Look above ^^^^.

I have a BS in Computer Science and I am currently completing my BSN Nursing degree in 1 year! You can't do NI without a BSN first. Any reputable program will require this. After my BSN, I will be getting my masters in Information Systems with a focus in Data Analytics. This is what NI requires as well as for the Future. Many of you RNs without technical skills and understanding are not suited for what's to come for NI. A Nursing Informatics Program is rudimentary and does not well prepare for the present and future. Use your CS degree for its value. Get into a one year BSN program. Many state schools and hospitals offer this. Stay away from for-profit programs that are solely online. Unless they are attached to a public university.

There are more reputable ONLINE programs than Chamberlin.

I agree. Future RNs are better off with a CS or MIS masters.

Great! I got my BS in Computer Science and I am finishing an accelerated BSN program in 15 months. I would network and reach out to people in the field you want to work in. That has been useful for me. Find a mentor.

What state or town do you live in? I am currently in an accelerated BSN degree program at CUNY. (15 months) I have a degree already in Computer Science. After my BSN program, I am looking into an online masters program at CUNY SPS in Nursing Informatics. Affordable and highly regarded. https://sps.cuny.edu/academics/graduate/master-science-nursing-informatics
