F/U just spoke with PG about MSN-DNP and realistically about $40k for MSN and another $33.6-42k for DNP...with no help from them for preceptorship... So Def not cheap

No, definitely not cheap, I just haven't found any really cheaper. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Definitely sucks no help with preceptorship. Thank you for all your input. Are you working in clinic or hospital setting?

I'm surprised to you say it was expensive. Have you found many other programs cheaper? It seems when I was researching schools using NursingCAS the average was $1000/unit. Purdue Global at $400/$720 seems like more of the lower range. Are there more hidden costs? Also, I noticed the program is accredited, but how did it work out for you to get an "appropriate site for the clinical or practicum experience?" Was the Clinical Placement Team helpful? For me it sounds like a good option, flexible, affordable, and from what I can tell (hoping to speak with someone tomorrow) meets criteria for California. It is good to hear you passed your boards as well, CONGRATS!

Thank you so much @happyperson2 for putting this and having the questions and connections page! I have been so torn not knowing if csun is the right place for me. I hope in this I can ask the questions that have been on my mind. Thanks again!

@never never give up, i havent found your fb group yet either. would you add me too [email protected]*

My family is from mission viejo too! Nice lol. I checked out the school and read as much as i could about the program but felt I didn't find much out about their sim labs or when they start getting into clinicals and such.. Really interested in the interworkings I guess, I have gotten into a few programs that are 12-15 months and kinda trying to compare

Hey me too! Summer ABSN right? What part of oc?

Got in to summer ABSN, haven't confirmed yet. Did anyone go to the campus and view the facilities or speak to staff more specifically? What are your favorite features about the nursing program?
