    How long did it take you to earn your degree?

  11. There are no hard due dates, as long as you finish 12 credits (approximately four classes) before the end of the term. There are different exams (objective assessments, performance assessments, or...
  12. To piggy back on what The Commuter said, the enrollment process can be fairly quick or slow depending on how fast you get all your documents in. I had all my documents in by Feb 2015 and started April...
  13. @ Allnaturalnurse: As the Commuter stated, tests are proctored via webcam or in person testing center. I did at home proctoring via webcam as my home environment was more comfortable and I could test...
  14. Hi skernbsn, I decided not to start the FNP to DNP program at Bradley. I was supposed to start the program in January; however, I realized I was still burnt out from finishing my BSN so quickly with...
  15. My breakdown of schooling costs were as follows: My Home Health Aide program back in 2005 was $100 (paid that out of pocket, of course). My CNA course was taught by my employer with state...
