    For me, it simply came down to cost. My employer gives some reimbursement but not enough. The rest I am paying. ONU was about half the cost and I didn't have to lose the reputable CCNE program...

    Chikpow, I don't know if you are from IL or not but ONU is pretty well respected school. The ANA-Illinos actually ranked ONUs FNP #1 last year for the state over any other university. Even so, I agree...
