Healthcare is pretty populated with Walden/Capella/Phoenix grads. I think this has a lot to do with many nurses coming out of state ADN ASN programs to get into a career with a living wage. Hospitals are starting to be more selective and want nurses to have a BSN even though there's really nothing useful in an RN to BSN program if you're already a practicing RN. And the practice and scope of care doesn't change between ASN to BSN. Associates nursing programs are already ~90 credits. The other 30 are top up fluff.
Alternately, after a few years, many nurses get get burnt out and want to leave the floor/bedside and get into management or want to look into a practitioner program, but are told they have to complete a bachelor's, or for higher roles, a masters, and simply pick the fastest, easiest path to check the box.
Healthcare systems truly do not give one iota as long as the box is checked. Word gets around you can practically sleepwalk through a Capella degree pretty easy so people pick the path of least resistance, and I can't really blame them.
But Outside of healthcare, the negative stigma of online for profits can be a boondoggle.
