Specializes in PMHNP.

I'm attending WGU RN-BSN. Great price, practical, self paced, with great academic and career support. They will even provide resume and interview assistance to student or alumni. If I decide to get a non NP Masters I will continue with WGU.

Lots of good options out there. Lots of bad options, too. Do your homework before investing.

Figure out what your criteria are. What are you looking for? What is important to you?

1. Academic rigor? Respected by other universities and employers?

2. All the most respected accreditations?

3. Easy?

4. Not much work?

5. Cheap? and/or lots of financial aid available?

6. Presence/absence of a clinical component? vs All coursework with papers and tests?

7. Lots of papers to write vs group projects vs tests?

8. Is it important to you to be able to visit the campus and meet with the faculty face-to-face if you have a problem? (I recommend this as problems sometimes arise.)

9. Having a different part-time instructor for each class that you never have a real conversation with vs. having classes taught by full time faculty that you may have for more than one course.

etc. etc. etc. What are you preferences?
