Does anyone know if the University of Phoenix is any good?

Employers have been known to throw job applications listing U of Phoenix degrees directly into the trash.

Both schools are for profit and online, but APU is less expensive, is well regarded in general, and you'll have less debt at the end of it all. You're the one who will make the most of your education. As far as "credible" or "valuable" education, here's my experience. Schools that focus on online education present a far more comprehensive, engaging education that is tailored to the virtual environment than do schools that are traditionally face-to-face. I have gone to two community colleges in person and online; two universities online (and some in person), and a second four year school completely online, but that school was a brick and mortar school first. My BEST experience was with schools that are focused on the adult online learner. I worked hard on the online degree I received from a traditional state school; however, I felt the environment was subpar to the schools that tailor their education to the online student. Being a veteran, I have attended four different schools to complete my two four year degrees. I am currently getting ready to attend AMU for a grad degree. It is a regionally accredited school, so you CAN transfer credits from it to state colleges and universities; however, as with any school, the articulation of transfer credits will always depend on the school for which you will complete your final degree. It doesn't matter whether you go to UoP, AMU or a state university. As long as the colleges are regionally accredited, you'll be able to transfer credits, but no matter what school you attend, there will always be residency requirements and degree requirements that don't always fit whatever schools you've previously attended. Considering the job market, I would choose the least expensive school. AMU/APU is more recognized than you may think.

I'm currently a student enrolled. I advise that if you are going to get a degree in health care, you go to an on-site school. Many students have a hard time staying on track and there are no physical lessons or books. Everything is online, including your material books which means you will have to sit there and read 30 pages online everyday.

I like the school but on-site is a lot better for hands on, especially for a degree in health care.

Plus, they over-charge for their aid.

I started attending UoP online in March of 2008. I finished my Associates of Paraprofessional Education in January, basically a glorified teachers aid. I now have a good job working with the city school district where I live. After finishing that program I decided to complete me Associates in Health Care Administration and have already talked to my local hospital and they are willing to put me to work while I work on my Bachelors starting in October. There are many people out there that will tell you that a degree from UoP looks bad, but in my experience, after talking with people in my community it is not. It is a degree and it shows that you can work hard. In my opinion I love UoP, the classes have been great, the teachers knowledgeable, and the student support system wonderful. Good luck with your decision.
