It's affordable, online, with excellent staff and support, and no exhaustive application process.

Also, don't let "certain people" discourage you from reaching your goals because you live in the real world and don't want to spend the next 10 years jumping through hoops at an elitist school. In the end, we all take the same competency test and no one cares where you graduated from, just that you have the degree and qualifications. It's up to the individual to study hard, and continue to learn beyond formal education to provide the best possible care for your patients. Good luck on your journey! You can do it!

No need to go to a school that will cost an arm and a leg. I don't advocate that anybody break the bank. A reputable state school will do just fine (emphasis on the word reputable though). It should also be noted that "certain" programs - let the reader use discernment - are usually the ones most notorious for costing a _______ ton of money. We're not being Debbie downers, just realists. Nothing said earlier was untrue and it's this exact mentality that's hurting the profession - the quick and fast mentality of instant gratification with minimal effort not present elsewhere.

If you can't put forth the time to properly invest in the training, then you simply can't be an NP. That's why there are barriers to entry. We have to remember that we have patients' lives in our hands and it is incumbent to do the best we can in our preparation. Having this licensure, as the state BON will tell you, is a privilege, not a right. So if you can't properly put forth the time and effort, a different easier career should be considered. And to be honest I don't care if that offend some because it is the truth. I tell it to my students and people interested in nursing. Ours is an honorable profession and we need to protect it.

I attend UTEP, for my AGACNP. Compared to other schools they were decently priced! You will have trips to on campus in El Paso, but its 2-4 times out of the program. Check them out.... They also have smaller classes so there's more attention to the students from the professors. Granite right now its difficult regarding trying to figure out covid etc but its a good program...Good luck!

Any quick, easy, cheap med schools? We need to be very careful if we hope to maintain our standing as a profession.
