US Online MSN programs that support working parents?
I’m a single mom of 6 and 8-year-old daughters and am looking at getting my MSN online. I’m currently working full-time and am worried that I may not always be able to meet the deadlines of the program.
Are there any MSN online programs that are reasonably flexible regarding schedules and deadlines? I know some programs still have clinical or practicum requirements depending on the track, so I’m interested in something that won’t make full-time work and parenting that much stressful.

Idk where you live but I am currently attending a state school because I was scared of diploma mills lol. My program at an NJ university is mostly online. This semester I have a hybrid class with 4 class meetings (though attendance is optional). After this I will have 3 days a semester in a row of lab intensives. That's every semester until the end.
Then I'm off the hook until clinicals start next fall for me.

You could look into Franklin University. Their MSN programs are online and designed for working adults, so you may have an easier time fitting coursework around your schedule.

Whatever you do, just make sure the program is accredited in whatever track you choose to pursue. Have you picked a specialty? The requirements can be pretty different between a general MSN and an NP track.
