for profit schools?

Published

I'm seriously driving myself crazy looking at RN-BSN programs. I think I find the perfect program and then something makes me question it. I'm looking at the university of Phoenix and it is reasonably priced, CCNE accredited, no prerequisite requirements,all online, and can be completed in a little over a year. It's a for profit university and I've read many negative things about for profit schools. My nonprofit state schools only have two start dates a year and many pre req requirements so it makes it too expensive. Has anyone completed this school and had any problem getting into grad school? I just want to make the right decision since I will be paying for my BSN out of my own pocket.

I'm about to graduate from WGU from the RN to BSN program in 10 months. Could have been faster if I really applied myself. Total cost of 2 6 month semesters is about $7,000. If I did it in 6 months, which is doable if you work hard, it would have been $3.750! It's accredited, I think it was a great great program.

I'm starting my last class at American Public University this week. All classes are 8 weeks. Its taken me 2 years because I had some prereqs like STAT and HIST to finish up. In total I think Ill have just under $10k and with employer reimbursement and financial aid, its even less out of pocket. Its accredited and completely online as well. I highly recommend.
