Vicki Williams of Penn State University created an excellent tool for prospective online nursing students. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was kind enough to create a site, accessible to the public, where nurses investigating Masters in Nursing Online programs can take a readiness for online learning survey. Check out the link below to see if you are ready!
If by chance your results do not show up, take note of your numeric score and the site below has interpretations of your score, just scroll down about ¼ of the page to see where the results begin.
Don’t be fooled, there are many self assessment tools on the internet, but only this tool has been validated and deemed reliable. Online learning at the graduate level takes about 10-12 hours a week, so calculate how much “spare” time you have and figure that 10-12 hours a week would be devoted to an online masters in nursing program…………make sure you still have time to sleep and/or eat –smile-.
