THANKS! YOU'VE SEALED MY CHOICE FOR ME. GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Very helpful! Thanks! It is all making sense now and I will call Graceland on Monday to verify "stats" and some other topics. The "internist" runs a family practice clinic and sees "all" patients, but the area I live in is loaded with geriatric patients (good for me that is the population I plan to focus on when I finally have my NP). So, I think it will be easy enough to get a well-rounded practicum. So, after all this, I am assuming you are very happy you chose Graceland. If you had it to do all over again... would you pick that school?

Thank you for replying! Very helpful. Are you currently enrolled at Graceland? First, I did take statistics in the BSN program. But, I heard that an additional statistics class is required in the MSN programs. Yuck. It was my least favorite course. I am hoping I do not have to take it again. I think I am ahead in the preceptor area. I have an internist stepping up for me. Lucky me!! I just finished my BSN at Univ of Phx last week. So, the cost factor will be the same for me. Unfortunate to have to keep writing checks. ha. I did hear that there is some sort of computer program that must be purchased for the schooling at Graceland. So, I assume that is different than UOPX since we didn't have any downloadable program requirement. Do you know anything about that? I heard it is to track the hours you are online... One more thing, what does "bank schedule" mean? Thanks again Ivan. This is great news for me. It sounds like Graceland offers a sound program and most people are very happy with it!

I am starting the FNP online program at Graceland next month. I go to the campus for orientation in Sept. 09. How was your orientation? Any likes/dislikes about the school so far? BTW, congratulations!!

I am slated to start the FNP online program @ Graceland 8/31/09. I am debating between this school and Univ of Colorado - Colorado Springs. I was accepted to both but am really unsure which is a better fit for me. Does anyone know if Statistics is required in either program?
