Affordability

Online nursing degrees and certificates are often more affordable than traditional on-campus programs. For instance, an online MS in Nursing won't have the same costs as traditional on-campus degrees. In some cases, you don't have to pay for transportation, parking, housing, and food, which can save you significant money.
