If I remember correctly it was between $400 and $500 per credit hour which I would pay if it weren't for the fact that they require nearly twice as many credits!!

I looked into their program but was shocked at the number of credit hours! Every FNP program I have looked at has been in the neighborhood of 40-45 credits and UofC programs are all between 70 and 75. I was turned off by that because it looked like a scam ... offer reasonable tuition but then require twice as many credits!

I just graduated from Liberty University and it has been great. The website is luonline.com

Have you guys heard back? I was wait-listed for the Fall and have been struggling all week with what to do. I am accepted into University of Alabama (online) but for Adult/Women's Health which is not really what I want. I am also accepted to JMU in VA but that is a huge commute and expensive (because it's out-of-state). Alabama starts on Monday and I am registered but as of right this minute I am planning to drop the courses and go to JMU. I would be thrilled to get into Maryland but am not holding my breath. I have found them very difficult to deal with and I would doubt there would be much movement that would move me up the list. I am curious to hear how the rest of you are doing and whether you got in!!

I have been struggling with the Adult NP vs. FNP decision for a couple of months but big time this week. I am scheduled to start ANP on Monday but was accepted to a different program for FNP. FNP is going to be twice as expensive and a 3-hour commute but I'm beginning to think it's worth it to get what I really want. Thanks to all of you for the info.

Like many of you, I am struggling with the decision of Adult NP or FNP. I have always wanted FNP but was not accepted to my first choice school for FNP but am accepted for Adult NP. I'm still waiting to hear from my 2nd choice (only applied to 2, not realizing how difficult it would be!). When I talked to my 1st choice school about wanting FNP, I was informed that they did a study last year about why people choose FNP and the response was it made them marketable. They researched it and determined it was not true and that the flood of FNP's has driven their salaries down. Unlike many of you, I do like working with children and really like the idea of FNP for that reason. I would even consider Peds NP but don't think there are enough clinical resources in my area to get what I need. So now I'm struggling with whether to wait it out, apply to more schools that will cost more or take what I have available to me right now. And if I choose to go the Adult route, should I do a dual Adult/Women's Health? It's very frustrating and I'm inclined to take what I have and run with it although I'm not sure this is the right way to plan the future of my career!!
