Aspen is very attentive to the needs of their students. I feel confident if you continue your education there you will not regret it. As with anything in life hard work has great payoff's. I have learned a lot throughout my time in the Aspen University program.

MTSTEELHORSE is right the whole problem that is surrounding the furture of nursing is going to be the lack of nursing educators. There are simply not enough to educate the number of students that will be necessary to meet the demands of the looming nursing shortage crisis. Pay at the present is not that great for online educators but in brick and mortar institutions the pay and benefits are there. I am currently enrolled at Aspen and have found the classwork to be challenging but worthwhile. I think that obtaining a Masters should not be a piece of cake if it is question the program. Aspen's cost cannot be beat at the present. The nice part about there program is when family issues strike you can step back deal with the issue and get back in the game. Myself as an older nurse I want the flexibility to wind down and keep my hand in nursing This program will allow me to travel and teach onlne or pick up classes in my local universities. I am an NP and I am here to tell you the job is stressful and in comparison to the responsibility and financial reimbursement it stinks. It is disappointing when RN's are making more that you do. So think about it and good luck in your decision.

Kevin You would find a good education @ Aspen. There is no sense in digging a deep money pit. MSM prints out the same wherever you get the degree

I spoke with the Dean of Nursing I am SURE she knows and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Give her a call.

Aspen is CCNE accredited and Regionally accrediited.

I am so glad to hear all is well. If it is okay with you post a note in the MSN Cafe so we can chat further. I know this school is the best option and very affordable. The support is beyond compare. I am looking forward to learning with you!

I just wanted to reassure you that Aspen is a great choice! I have only good things to say. It was a long time since I had been back in the classroom but they are wonderful and provide great support. You could not ask for better classmates either!! I am sure you won't be disappointed!

hello babynurse73, I am also a student at Aspen University and could not be happier. Everyone I have been in contact with is supportive. I will have an MSN as a nursing educator and I will not be in debt up to my ears. The courses are interesting, challenging, and manageable. This is an awesome choice for my higher education.

Hi Quiet 1, Glad to hear you are joining the group. I am sure you will like it. Be sure to identify yourself when you get to the discussion board. Welcome.

Is the BSN ULTIMATELY going to make a difference when the end reselt is the MSN. Will you be able tomake the same amount of money while you have your BSN that you will spend getting the BSN? WGU wants you to think they have a better course but when education is so expensive do the dollars and cents add up?

I am a student at Aspen and I must say it is a great program. It is mostly found from word of mouth. They do not advertise so to keep their costs down for the students. I was involved in the recent re-accredidation process and the reviewers were impressed not only with the caliber of students but the program as a whole. Aspen makes higher nursing education attainable without putting the student in the poor house.

I am enrolled at Aspen and could not be happier! It is a great choice and I am not going to go broke getting my Masters. Check it out! They walk like they talk.

I use Style Ease for APA 6th edition. There is no perfect program out there but this helps. You should get the APA book they recommend and Fionda the Bridge instructor has created a great site that offers a lot of help. You are going to do great don't worry.

I am glad to hear that you have everything worked out and things are a go! See you in the classroom! Mary

We are going to make a great group!
