I am looking at Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine and Science. I have a colleague that is finishing her Doctorate there, she is quite pleased, didn't save any money, but loves the online program.

Thank you for the input.

Baby Lady, I agree with you. A student nurse is held accountable to the level of her training at the time. Obviously if you felt qualified to take a blood pressure, being that it is non-invasive, you could have been sued had you not! Quick thinking on your part to offer, proud you had your stethoscope and cuff readily available. Says a lot about you that your first instinct was to jump in an help. Sorry that your roommate was so distraught. Is he also a student nurse?

Wow, so many good inputs on this topic. I regret to hear that an online college such as U of P that is nationally accredited and CCNE accredited would not be taken seriously by some. Yes these online programs are expensive but I put a pencil to the cost of commuting 90 miles a day as I did for my BSN and lunches out everyday, hotel expenses for my clinicals, upkeep of white uniforms and shoes, supplies, and cost of projects and I can say they are very much the same. This didn't even take into account the lost wages because I didn't have time to work. Online courses require discipline and fortitude, things I would consider to be quite admirable in a prospective applicant. My family was virtually put on hold during my attendance to a traditional "brick and mortar" program, online courses allows me to manage my day around the needs of my family. I am grateful these programs are available and regret that anyone would look down on me for making a conscious decision to be self starter, motivator and creative manager of my time. This is the future! Embrace my fellow sisters. Embrace.

I am not familiar with Walden University, but a close friend is finishing her PhD with University of Phoenix and loved it. She completed her adn to bsn and then bsn to msn. I am in the process of completing my acceptance to UofP. The completion date is 18 mos. and cost right at $20,000.00 total and student loans are available. I hope this helps you.
