    No problem! It's totally manageable at this point. I'm not in the heavier classes yet, of course, but it has not been too difficult. My main suggestion would be to do your reading early on in your...

    I'm at USU now and finished my bachelor's not long ago. I think I wrote something like 37 papers. You can use PERRLA software for formatting. Also, grammarly is really good to brush up your style of...

    Hi James, I was enrolled at Herzing and liked their set up. At the end of the day I went with USU for the price and pass rate. A few months ago, Herzing's pass rate was in the high 80s. I have a...

    I looked into all these universities and a lot more. I was accepted to some excellent programs, but in the end, decided against a ton of debt. I weighed the whole for profit debate our and after...

    I had applied to several universities and what I have found is even those who say they guarantee you placement still generally rely on you helping with that. Some placements I asked about were three...

    I missed this question. I started in the January cohort and did the first week of work. I had a less than pleasant experience in a somewhat minor way and put my education on hold. I'm now enrolled in...

    Thank you so much for getting back to me. I can't reach anyone today and don't remember the tuition. I know there was a discount for a certain GPA I qualified for. I'm talking to Colorado Tech, too,...

    I am looking at Herzing now. For most of the universities I've looked at, even a well-known brick and mortar with deep roots in FNP education in my town, you have to find your own preceptors and...
