The MSN-to-DNP program can be completed in just five semesters of full-time study or eight semesters of part-time study.#45: Liberty University | Lynchburg, VAThe Liberty University School of Nursing offers degree programs at all levels. Undergraduate options include a residential BSN for individuals with no nursing experience and two online pathways for working nurses (RN-to-BSN, RN-to-BSN-to-MSN). Approximately 150 students graduate annually from the residential BSN program, and they have achieved an excellent 93% NCLEX pass rate since 2012. Graduate students can pursue three MSN specializations (nursing administration, nurse educator, nursing informatics), two dual degree options (MBA, MSHA), and two nurse practitioner roles in the DNP program (family, psychiatric mental health). Liberty University also leads a summer nurse camp for high school students where attendees learn basic nursing skills, obtain CPR certification, and participate in team-building activities.#46: Anderson University | Anderson, SCThe School of Nursing at Anderson University offers a flexible breadth of options across its BSN, MSN, and DNP degree programs. At the undergraduate level, the traditional BSN is available for first-time college students, while the accelerated BSN is designed for students with college credit or a degree in a non-nursing field. These prelicensure tracks have scored an 89% cumulative NCLEX pass rate since their recent launch, including a phenomenal 98% pass rate in 2017. At the graduate level, AU offers MSN concentrations in executive leadership, family nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. The DNP program also offers specializations in three of these areas (leadership, FNP, and PMHNP) plus advanced practice.#47: University of South Alabama | Mobile, ALThe College of Nursing at University of South Alabama offers numerous BSN and MSN pathways. Options include traditional BSN and MSN programs, early acceptance for high school seniors and college freshmen, an accelerated BSN/MSN program for baccalaureate-educated non-nurses, and RN completion programs (e.g., RN-to-BSN, RN-to-MSN, or RN-to-BSN/MSN). South Alabama’s graduating BSN class is large (250-300 students annually) and well-prepared for the NCLEX exam, with an 88% pass rate over the past eight years. The MSN program offers specialties that run the gamut from adult-gerontology acute care to family practice to neonatal nursing, with in-demand subspecialties like cardiovascular care, oncology, and palliative care.#48: Frontier Nursing University | Hyden, KYFrontier Nursing University is home to the nation’s first family nurse practitioner (FNP) program, as well as the largest and oldest continually operating nurse-midwifery program.

The MSN program prepares students to sit for the CNL certification exam administered by the Commission on Nurse Certification.

I come from Russia, but I had lived in US for a few years. I got my Ph.D. there, and also worked as a researcher in one of the top US universities. I’ve been to many states of East Coast and South. What I will write below is only my personal view with no statistics supporting it, and may be biased or mistaken in some ways. So please read accordingly or disregard.Food. I never understood why, being such a great country, with strong economy and high ambitions and acting as a ruling empire on the world arena, US stays the country that can’t produce really tasty natural food for its citizens. US is great in manufacturing processed food, and it would be a paradise for a lover of that. However, when it comes to simple vegetables, they’re just terrible. Organic or not, doesn’t matter. My spouse comes from Uzbekistan - a country, virtually living in middle ages, with cows walking on traffic roads. She also has basic knowledge of biology (I don’t know if Americans do, but I’ll get to education later). And she doesn’t understand, how, with such a great sun in Texas all year round, their tomatoes taste like rubber. I visited Uzbekistan one time with her and tried their tomatoes bought on a simple noisy street market. Boy oh boy. They’re so red, so juicy, so tasty, and so cheap. And other vegetables as well. Watermelons are just paradise, you can’t stop eating them! You don’t need any chemicals to keep them that good, just let them grow under sun. US doesn’t do that. I heard they raise everything in their hotbed farms under glass or import from other countries, for example, Mexico. But there’s such a large territory in Texas where you can just let veggies grow! I know economy needs compact and efficient ways to feed growing population. But still, people don’t seem to care that they miss natural taste of their products.Also, obsession with sugar. A lot of food is over-sweetened. Not just sweet, but over-fucking-sweetened. And they put sugar in food items that originally do not require that, and thus ruin the whole item! Their sweet taste is also different from the sweet that I was used to. Their taste seems too aggressive, like you’re some sick kid drinking some glucose medicine, compared to a mild and nice melting sweetness that I experienced in other countries, including mine.Finally, Americans often mix food ingredients in a random way, without checking compatibility, which makes the final result virtually tasteless or even disgusting! Strawberry salads with cashews in them? WTF? I once heard a story about a French guy who threw up right after hearing that people in US eat shrimp with ketchup.Health care. Yes, it’s the most expensive in the world. Even though I come from Russia, where you have a right for a free medicine (I won’t be discussing it’s quality though), with an ability to invite a doctor to your home for free if you’re too sick(!), I also had a chance to live for a couple of years in a more pro-west country such as France. Their medicine was great, plus not that expensive. I visited their dentists, plus my spouse visited doctors due to pregnancy. Even without insurance, if you pay fully, you won’t be starving. Why can’t US do the same? Is it some medical mafia there, that won’t let it change, no matter how every next president tries? I also don’t understand why US doesn’t let you buy simple medical stuff in pharmacy without prescriptions. So whenever I fly there, I bring some with me, to cure simple illnesses. Also, check this out Ranking 37th — Measuring the Performance of the U.S. Health Care System — NEJMOverall homogeneity and boredom. What I will write below refers to cities, not nature sights or national parks. US looks the same to me in many states(except the prices and the job market). Same clean roads, same sandwich eateries, same town streets. Well, every town may have some memorials and beautiful buildings, but that’s all different there is to see. Why is it that Lexington - and that’s a fucking capital of a whole state(Kentucky) - becomes an empty town around 9pm? No gambling, no night life, nothing. Also, from what I experienced, they have lots of bars for socializing, but not so much of night clubs. And they close at 2am in many states! How’s that a night life then? Many activities are not known to a majority of Americans, such as, for example, live action quest games(at least in the area I lived in). There are lots of malls, and town parks are as boring as a palm of my hand. Sure, you can join some activities, such as various Karate clubs or yoga or dancing. But most of them just want you to pay monthly fee but don’t teach you anything substantial (unless you’re growing to become a professional athlete or something and you became lucky to get to rare professional training classes). Sports are mostly about American football, baseball, and basketball. Black dudes only play basketball in a park, nobody offers other diverse sports for them. Volleyball? Nah, that’s a girl’s game! Dining is mostly sandwiches and oriental cafeterias. When you gather with a company together, don’t expect to play intellectual games or have a really interesting and deep conversations about world problems, cause few of them know of the outside world. Just eat pizza, smoke weed and discuss football. So unless you get to live in LA, NYC, or Vegas, where you can satisfy your “sensor hunger” due to variety of activities, you’ll die from boredom.Despite cries about racial diversity, cultural diversity in US seems low. US culture is very isolated from the rest of the world. As my spouse once said, “It’s like they are living on an island”. All music, movies, books, etc. - all of that is purely American. Whereas in Europe and Asia, you can find cultures of all forms and shape. Now that’s a real cultural diversity! In US, all music is either gangsta rap or some girlish singers (Britney Spears, Keisha, Christina Aguilera, tons of other clones!). Well, maybe a bit of heavy metal and alternative rock. Trance and techno music is ignored and not valued at all. Movies are all Hollywood, a lot of talking about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Spider-man and other American franchises. Come on, don’t you have anything more? As Francine from American Dad show once said:”European movies are not bad. We just don’t watch them”.Literature is mediocre and poor. It’s all about bestsellers and money-making rather than art and interesting problem discussion. 50 Shades of Grey? What a joke, get to any erotic stories website and read about any BDSM you like, and, trust me, it will make you way hotter than this dumb novel with made-up problems, and it will be for free! I read Mark Twain, Thomas Mayne Reid and a few more great American authors. But today’s authors are a joke.Lack of personal freedom (somewhat combined with the previous point). Yes, you heard me right. While US definitely stays a country of great freedom for political and business life, freedom of personality is ignored, despite all the propaganda that US value identity, as opposed to nasty “reds” from Eastern Europre and Asia, where totalitarism is believed to rule. I believe US was the country of the free many decades ago, but not today. Now people are literally squashed by left agendas. They show charismatic and bright persons in Hollywood movies, but their own notion of charisma is sent to the drain IRL. What I mean by this is that most people act in the routine friendly way all the time, and you don’t get to know anyone’s personality well enough even if you stay friends with them for months. You don’t know what’s driving them or motivates them or displeases them deeply inside. US internet(and Quora here) is full of personal development bullshit posts, about how to become charismatic and amazing, but those barely fix anything and don’t address the real issues. People all look the same, only their resumes are different! They don’t show anger, sadness, sincere laugh or feeling in public (I remember one old American once told me that my laugh was so hearty that it was the first time he heard something like that his entire life). I guess guys are even afraid to compliment girls innocently only because she may not be in a mood and will file a complaint! And everyone will be on her side! Check out “We love Russia” fail compilations on YouTube. I know those picture Russians as dumb and fucked-up, and there is nothing to be proud of in those videos, but there is some sense of personal freedom you can see there that you don’t get to express in the US environment. This basically proves the point that country’s power and greatness does not correlate with happiness of its citizens.I few examples of lack of personal freedom I remembered clearly are below.1. I was teaching in a US university and in two years I had three students(!) who came to my office hours only to cry in tears about how they suffered in life. And I was their instructor, 10 years older than them, not a friend or boyfriend. They somehow felt I was open to an unrestricted communication, and they thought they finally could share their pent-up feelings with me. I never witnessed anything like this in my country. And it’s probably because people in other countries, not paralyzed by politically-correct agenda, let their emotions go on a daily basis. Not strongly, but bit by bit, so the emotions don’t accumulate. In my country, somebody may be slightly rude to you in a store, and you can be rude in response. Sure, you can (and should) file a complaint to a store manager, but most people don’t do it, cause they feel they need it sometimes. They’re human beings and they can’t always pretend to be smiling robots, and they’re ok if their comfort zone was disturbed just a tiny bit for some funny reason.2. Whenever you come to a campus of a famous university, you see students wearing shirts and hats of their university logos. For example, maroon aggie symbols for Texas A&M, or buckeyes for Ohio State, etc. It’s good that you support your college. But! They’re majority of them! I once counted students taking exam in my class, and 40% of them had that symbol one way or another(maybe more, I couldn’t look under the desks). Guys, if your country is so about individualism and against communism, why do you all resemble each other some much!? I don’t believe it’s a coincidence you all look the same to me. How about demonstrating something that’s truly yours?! Don’t be like soldiers in a single uniform!3. My friend, who’s from the same country as me, invited his mother to US for a short visit of his family. After she came, she once said to them:”Why do you all look so up tight? It’s like you’re constantly afraid to make an indicent move. I see that in you day by day. You weren’t like that in Russia!” A simple woman, not grown in US, saw that tiny lack of freedom that built in them.4. Being in one of a largest US campuses, I only saw one couple kissing in public in two fucking years! Come on, guys, you’re all young, sexy and hot-blooded. Let it go! But no, let’s pretend we don’t know each other. In my country, kisses are everywhere, and kids don’t grow perverts or something just because they watch that all the time. In the campus of my country’s university, free expression of love was all around.5. One day I had to teach a class in a room that had some other class in it at the time I came. My students were waiting outside. I only had 2 minutes before the start, so I asked the female instructor whether she’d finish any time soon. I didn’t hear her response clearly, so I asked “What?”(Instead of “I’m sorry”). Turned out later, this “what” seemed rude to her, although I never intended to insult anyone. So in around two weeks, I got questioned in our department office about the incident, since that lady sent the official letter to take action toward me. I was advised to send an apologize e-mail to the lady. This resolved the issue, and no further action was taken in my case, fortunately. However, my mood was ruined for days. I may have been in a bad temper at the time of asking, so I probably couldn’t fix the tone of my voice all of a sudden (well, sorry, I’m not trained to confine my personal freedom as well as Americans are). However, I believe the lady was in a bad mood herself if she reacted that sharply and was not lazy enough to take action. That doesn’t make her wrong. It just seems a bit fucked-up to me. Can I breathe freely at least without offending anyone?Exaggeration and fixation on things. Americans seem very fixated on things that many other people would consider exaggerated. Why did officials always keep sending messages to campus e-mails about how one sexual assault or robbery took place in some part of a campus, with a detailed description? Why distract people from work this way? Let them handle that with police on their own (unless it’s a mass shooting, which does happen in US). By sending this message, they’re basically warning you “Try not to make a mistake yourself, or the whole campus will be informed about it!”As one friend of mine joked: “A girl gets drunk on Friday night and has sex with a guy. She wakes up, but doesn’t remember clearly whether there was sex or not. Ok, just in case, she’ll still inform the police. Will never hurt, right?” or another joke of his: ”A drunk guy gets in his campus dorm but enters a wrong room number by mistake. He then leaves, but a female student inside the room notices it and can’t let it be. So the next hour, expect FBI helicopters to arrive on the dorm roof upon the report of the house break-in incident.” I know I may be called misogynist for these jokes, but trust me, I saw true evil towards women in my life-time (beating to blood, murder threats with an axe, etc.) and I heard of really terrifying rape stories. But what many Americans sometimes call as rape may turn out as just a regret after consensual sex. Even though US and Russia basically have equivalent laws towards “sexual assaults” and “rape”, their societies responds differently and smell bullshit differently. Commons sense is what draws a line. Checkout this story Burger King Russia takes down social media ad with rape victim's likeness Many people in my country are on the guy’s side here, and there is a good reason for that, judging by lots of evidence of consensual decision. My inner sense tells me, there would even be no discussion in US if a similar story happened there. Pretty sure a guy would be blamed by default if the girl only decided to take action.Same goes about diversity and racism, or gay rights. Why making everyone in campus take those diversity brain-washing classes if it doesn’t add anything new to their views? By focusing too much attention on the issue, you only put more fuel into the fire. Most people in academia already had good nurture and are educated well enough, so their common sense won’t let them become racists or homophobes. Why forcing them or reminding them? It’s like an annoying mother, who comes to her child already eating a meal and firmly saying “Eat that meal! It’s really good!” Bitch, I’m already eating, can’t you fucking see??Fahrenheit, Inches, Yards, Miles, Pounds, am-pm. Nuff said.Education. From what I had experienced for years, Americans don’t value education for education. They treat education as a path to a job. “Why know something when you can’t use it or apply?” they say. Problem with this approach is that a job as an event is something temporary. Some jobs may vanish in a decade forever, some may experience different demands due to fluctuations in job market and economy, etc. And the downside is that you are not prepared to act differently when conditions change. When you give an average student a problem that is only slightly different from what he’s been taught to do for years, he feels panic! Seriously? How about thinking for a bit? I saw that way too often in math classes, and those were guys who were majoring in math and engineering! How are you supposed to treat real-world problems with such approach? World is far more unpredictable than your narrow-focused preparation for it.I was raised differently. In my understanding, education is comprised of fundamental knowledge, not specific narrow details that make up your up-to-date degree, that will be out-dated in five years. Fundamental is a word I saw many Americans not understand. Instead, whenever they don’t know something, they just take… classes. “Oh, I need to take a class this semester, to familiarize myself with that problem”. They pack their education with classes, packs of unrelated information, but overall picture and understanding of the subject is missing. When you treat your educational growth fundamentally, you mostly rely on some strong basis, and the rest is created by your self-education, ability to read and understand new material (no matter how complicated) and basically become independent in your professional development. That develops your critical thinking, ability to see connections between logical objects, and you become less subjected to propaganda all around you, etc. You may not remember some fancy terminology from that class **** taught by Prof. ***, but you know what this is all about and how you would work with that if you had to.I recently got a job as a software developer. But guess what. I was never taught any programming language by anyone. It was all due to my self-education. In my university where I studied, they’d been always telling us:”By the time you graduate, you’ll have a base and tools only. We won’t be teaching you some up-to-date tricks. They are up to you”. I just knew I was taught to learn to do it, so I could master any intellectual field I wanted to in a reasonable amount of time. So when Americans ask me “What are you going to do with you Math Ph.D.?” and hear me say “I can do anything with it”, they seem confused. It doesn’t appear to them, how a guy majoring in X (especially the one they see as nerdy and unnecessary), can do career in Y.I will never understand how students would pursue Calculus classes filled with derivatives, integrals, but fail with simplest equations containing absolute values or logarithms. It’s not about knowing those for the sake of getting a job, of course, but it’s about being confident that you fully understand fundamentals and you don’t jump into more complicated fields without patching the holes. They heard of many stuff in high school, including limits, derivatives, and complex numbers. But what for, if you can’t even understand real numbers yet?And I will never understand how students, majoring in physics and getting a post-doc position(!) in a physical lab, state that they don’t know Newton laws(Yes, there was such case, those students were building their career in a very narrow physical discipline devoted to lasers and chemical reactions). Like, for real???Colleges treat students like babies. 3–4 exams during the term and weekly tests to keep them alert and always prepared! How about respecting student’s rights to have free time and let them demonstrate their learning ability in the end of the semester in one single exam? No, we won’t let them study by themselves. We will treat them as dumb apriori, so we’ll just make sure they’re constantly doing what we’re asking them to do during the entire term. In many other countries, you can skip the entire term if you like, but if you fail the only exam in the end of the term, you just GTHO of college. Not getting F, but GTHO! In US, they’ll keep you no matter what. Students make cash for colleges.Whenever students don’t like something, or they have special need, this will be given serious consideration. I’m not in a right to pretend that things like learning disorders aren’t real. It’s just that when 3 dudes out of 20-people class bring me the medical paper that justifies their need to have extra time during a mid-term exam, something just doesn’t feel right! Could there be a flaw in diagnosis system or subjective interpretation of this so-called disease? Is there actual research on that? Maybe some of them are just spoiled lazy asses that really enjoy this legal way of cheating?And finally, US education is expensive!Now, I know you may say “US science is the best in the world”. True. But I believe it’s due to crazy competition, involving not only Americans, but many people from other countries, as well as much higher funding of research activities compared to other countries. If it’s 400 people competing for one tenure-track position, clearly you’ll choose one genius there that doesn’t ruin the statistics.Poor public transportation. If you don’t own a car, especially in a small town, you are significantly limited in a number of places you can reach to fully explore life. Which kinda adds up to lack of personal freedom.Not so family-friendly country. If your kid gets a fever, read about medicine above. Playgrounds are all the same, I saw no variety. The place I lived in, you could barely find other kids there. Hello, my kid wants to play, where are all of you? Sitting home? How about running, playing war soldiers, super-heroes? Oh, computer games? No, thanks. Plus it may be illegal to leave your child unattended. In my time and in my country (no cell phones at the time), I could disappear for hours on the streets and nobody would file a complaint about child neglect. Day care and kinder gardens are expensive in US.Not so tenant-friendly country. If you sign a lease, you can’t move out earlier without paying the rent for the rest of the term. In Russia and in France, it was possible to inform a landlord one-two months prior to the intended leave. Lease or not, this thing was allowed by law.Job market. The competition is just tremendous! You may end up waiting for an interview for a year! And after that, for a couple more months! I don’t blame companies, they have to face with a tallest pile of resumes all year long. This even created a job market mini-culture: web-sites are full of posts on how to write outstanding resumes, how to prepare for an interview, how to make talks, etc. And many of them contradict each other! Agencies offer their services on hiring, on seeking candidates, etc. Yes, many countries have those, but in US it just reached such a high peak of tension that it’s depressing. You basically start living for a job, not having a job to live. Ever saw The Internship (2013) movie? Heroes nowadays are not those with super-powers saving the world. It’s those who get hired, through painful effort. LOLWUT? I was watching the entire movie with my jaw open.Losing a job in US may be considered the end of career in many case, from what I heard.Women. You probably expect me to say a typical stereotype that American women are ugly and fat. Wrong. I don’t buy into that BS that American women lost their attractiveness compared to other countries. There are a lot of hot girls in US, everywhere you go! They do fitness, look after themselves and sometimes wear sexy outfits. What they definitely lost though (or maybe never had) is what makes female a female in my understanding. While I’m all for female rights(well, I grew in such society, where we don’t oppress women professionally or politically), I’m more used to clear distinction between heterosexual gender behaviours . It’s not about gender roles, it’s rather what you see how women present themselves and act in a matter of couple of seconds. A woman can be CEO in a large company while her husband takes care of kids, but she can have that feminine nature (her eyes, body language, smell, voice) that attracts. I didn’t see that in many American girls. They could only attract physically, like dolls do. Being friendly and smiling all the time doesn’t help that.Humid climate. I’ve never been to a single state that seemed dry enough for me. Usually people tolerate dry climate easier. For example, 30 C(92 F) will feel way easier in dry climate than in humid one. Didn’t take much effort from me to start sweating only from rapid walking.Cockroaches. They’re big, ugly and terrifying, they run fast, and they enter into your building no matter how hard you try to block all the holes. They are not like the tiny ones I see in my country. I may scream like a little bitch if I see them only 1 yard away from me.All in all, US is a good country. There are a lot of positive sides there that I could discuss. However, this was a post about the negative sides that would make me, as a potential immigrant, uncomfortable.I know US is very popular among immigrants. But I have a feeling most of them make this choice either for financial reasons or because in their own country they were living in such inhumane conditions, that US would seem as a much better option. However, I fully understand there are also people for whom the mentioned points are important to consider before immigrating.
