here is some productive and developmental information to put a positive spin on things for this uplifting conversation. go to Best Online Nursing Programs | Online Nursing Rankings | US News this site ranks online msn/fnp programs and there are hundreds, so this helps a lot. The one thing I looked at was how choosy the school is, and the student satisfaction rates etc. starting there is good. I have a friend attending Merryville, she said there is a lot of group work if you don't mind that, and she is paying a pretty big tuition, but likes it. South Alabama is another good option and came recommended by a DNP professor I studied under at another school.

everyone has their own opinion. show me any single school which is not a "for profit" business. they all are. this is disappointing because I thought this site would contain professional productive conference. same old nursing behavior. The negativity is not productive or progressive. its sad actually. Drawing from 125 years of educating extraordinary nurses, Chamberlain’s MSN degree program was ranked among the best online graduate nursing programs for 2013 by U.S. News & World Report. The MSN degree program is accredited by the CCNE. The FNP program is fairly new, but they have a longstanding history of nursing education, and if any "new" programs are not attended by new students, they don't develop and grow. Bottom line is, you get out of it only what you put into it. I have friends who attended university state and said they felt completely unprepared and had to take an additional 6 months to cram, attend seminars and study. Curriculum must be fulfilled per standards of the ANA. the schools provide that. its all generic. What we do with it is our own choice. That's all there is.

I researched about seven schools extensively. Some in my area and some out. It came to two. University of south Alabama, which was recommended by my former professor to attend. They are running a huge online program and u have to fly out maybe twice. It opens enrollment only a couple of times a year but had specialties like acute care geriatric and family etc. the other recommended hitch I narrowed down to was chamberlain. I have friends who attended and felt like it was very manageable yet still you were very prepared for boards. Again flyin out once or twice to Illinois but the satellite campus in my area will suffice for any other attendance requirement. The advisors are extremely helpful and will even look for scholarships for you. I researched schools for about six months, from the recommendations. Chamberlain runs one class at a time, each lasting 8 weeks. This is great for me so I can focus completely and the theme changes fast. Hope this helps you

I am attending Arnp school full time and I work full time and am a single mom raising 2 children with a 97 average. Bottom line is whether u attend online or at a physical location school it is all about how driven you are. I have friends who are attending school "brick and morter" and end up with one day a week in class and the rest online. They say they feel like going to class wasted time. So I chose a highly recommended online school where I will fly out a couple of times, and occasionally drive to a physical satellite school. I had no problem finding a preceptor. I called until I found one. Decide you are going to go, research a school that fits and then tell yourself nothing will stop you. You will be fine. Excuses are open doors for failure Look at south Alabama University of south florida And chamberlain All have tuition total cost

Why must everyone be so discouraging

Agreed. It's unfortunate that we seek only to throw rocks In front of each others feet to trip on as a profession, rather than help and be supportive. I'm doing it and she can too. Bottom line
