Should I switch programs?

[caseyuptonurse]

So I'm in a program currently for FNP. The program that I am in is spaced out so it will take me another 3 years to graduate... Which I don't mind because I'm in no hurry right now.

So with the program I'm currently in, I've only completed one course which wasn't too bad and then I switched jobs. The program was covered for by a good amount by my last job but I just wanted to gain more experience else where so I switched jobs.

Now with this new job, they cover about 90% for a different school... And only 4k a year in tuition reimbursement for my current school (it's not a partner program with the institution).

My problem is that I wanted to go to school for a good cost and I wanted to make sure it is a good school. I also wanted brick and mortar that I wouldn't need to find preceptors. Here are some other factors about the programs:

Program 1:

-completed one course

-spaced out the way I like

-well known school in the area with 100% pass rate and 100% of its students working as NPs

-program has been running for a while

-no longer receiving as much reimbursement for courses

-clinical preceptors chosen for you

Program 2:

-program is new (first class graduates next summer)

-would have to be accepted to program (shouldn't be a problem) and hope that the one course I did take ends up transferring over

-pay barely anything

-courses are pushed together so that I would be graduating earlier and classes are smaller cohorts

-clinical preceptors chosen for you

I'm torn because of the money, but I don't know if a new school that has a brand new program would be a good idea. Thoughts and opinions?
