It's $375 per month for the first year. That doesn't cover the total cost. The send year, you have to get loans or however you plan on paying. I believe it's still $26,650 for tuition. I've never heard of having to pay upfront. I'm in my forth class and have two more course for my first year.

Hi Linda, I see you're in peds and doing the FNP program thru USU. Are you planning on specializing as PNP after? What state are you in? As another peds gal, would love to connect. :)

Hi there,

No, I'm not going to specialize in peds. I do love where I work. If I decide to specialize, I'll probably focus on psych. I have such a heart for that and we need it so badly.

Thanks for the reply. My first BS was in psych. Sounds like a great plan. Follow your heart!

California (San Diego) which is how I came across the program and why it could be ideal. :) I was actually looking at WGU's FNP program but I would need to be in CO (or one of the other 11 other approved states, they aren't approved in CA yet.)

I like the price of USU. I met someone at CTU the other day. She really likes it. I was looking at them. At the end of the day, USU is cheap and I'll pass the boards. ?

I am starting the fourth class in the program and love it so far. I went to Aspen University for my BSN and its very similar. In fact, I think the Masters is actually more reasonable and less work than the BSN although they require a higher level of critical thinking which I appreciate. 

They also offer discounts for veterans and people who attended Aspen University which is their sister school. The only caveat is two states do not accept their credits which are New York and I believe Kentucky. But they are fully accredited both nationally and regionally. 

I don't get the stigma with online learning. I am so glad I did not pay $80k to go to a brick and mortar school that would be doing online classes regardless.

I'm going into my sixth class and completely agree.
