I appreciate all the feedback. I am still praying and trying to make a decision. In regards to finding my own preceptors, I have some connections, but the area where I live is flooded with NP students. It really makes me wonder would an NP pass over me for a preceptorship for attending an online school rather than one of the well known in state schools. Thoughts?

I appreciate your response. I don't know why I mentioned the ADN part. It was my misinformed impression that they were being phased out. LOL I guess like the MSN programs. The online program is accredited by the CCNE.

Hi, I am a recently registered nurse who graduated from a well respected BSN program. I now work with predominately ADN nurses from various schools. I am not devaluing their education;because, we all have to pass the same boards. I am now looking into being an APN and am weighing my options. I am trying to decide between a brick and mortar school, that costs more and the admissions process is very tedious or an online program that costs less and I already qualify for admission. Please help, I am looking for guidance and fresh opinions since in the end we still take the same boards in order to become registered APN's.
