I'm considering University of Phoenix's ADN-BSN for it's convenience. I want to start school ASAP, as in not wait for "spring" or "fall" enrollment and I want a 100% online curriculum.
My husband works in HR, and is all into the prestige of schools, and how the name of a good university looks on your resume. He APPALLS University of Phoenix and doesn't respect it's graduates, in ANY aspect. I've told him they are fully accredited by all the national nursing associations, and it's a REAL degree, but he won't listen. I want to know what other nurses opinions are of University of Phoenix.
Personally, I work with half a dozen nurses who completed the ADN-BSN program, and two are currently in the MSN program. I don't think anything less of them for having a degrees from University of Phoenix! It's a degree! Regardless!
What do you think? What are you opinions on the cirriculum? Do you recommend another ADN-BSN that is 100% online?
I am a UoP MSN grad. Did you know where the majority of BSN and MSN grads could from UoP! Do you know where the largest online library is housed- UoP!
I found the classes challenging and I agree expensive but where can you start a class each week and take time off than works for you. I have the opportunity to interact with students internationally. I learned so much for my interactions that I would not have been exposed in a classroom setting.
UoP is accredited and has the largest chapter of the Nursing Honor Society.
Make me proud. Give it another 20 years UOP will get the exact respect it deserves. It is only a almost 40 year school. Give it some time. I am proud to be a UOP alum.
Did you take any part of the courses on campus? What did you think of the clinical experiences? I'm thinking of going for the MSN/FNP. Thanks for your feedback.
