Accredited online NP programs for Texas

Hello all,

I am glad to find this forum. I am researching various programs for NP school here in the DFW area. I received a brochure for Georgetown's online NP program. Can anyone please tell me if this program is accepted in Texas. I need to do most of it online because of my work schedule (M-F 8 to 5) and am wanting to go back to school bad. Any info is helpful:)

Thanks and good luck to all pursuing this journey.

Check out Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Ky. It is online and the certifications you sit for afterwards are accepted by the Texas Bon.

Graceland University, U of Cinncinnati, Maryville, Georgetown, and St Joseph are online programs. Walden University and Herzing University both have new online FNP programs. I do not know if they are available to TX.

UTA has most of the basic FNP classes online i.e. research, theory, pharm, patho. Your 8-5 schedule will be insane with those classes but if you don't need time to be with family, clean your house or go to the grocery store you should be fine.

After your basics you WILL have clinicals that take up at least 2 days per week plus the class day PLUS the insane paper writing and studying so your 8-5 will have to be adjusted.

I attend Angelo State University (San Angelo - West Texas) currently. It is a regular university, but their FNP program is offered online. Its a great school. I've only had to go to the campus one weekend so far for a skills lab and I'm a year in (one to go). Clinicals are wherever you can come up with (MD, DO, or FNP).

Yes, Georgetown np program is accepted in Texas. I was interested and spoke to a recruiter. They find your preceptors and you only have to go to Washington, D.C. Twice. The recruiter was extremely friendly and helpful. The only and biggest drawback- cost. It is approx $70,000 for entire part-time program. Hope that helps!

When I talked to Georgetown recruiters, they said Georgetown does not find preceptors for clinicals for the students; it is the students' responsibility. They may "assist" if one cannot find a preceptor at all, but they prefer students to find their own preceptors.

This is going to make it a challenge.

I am currently applying to Walden University. They have an FNP program all online. It is available in Texas. The advisors are extremely nice and helpful. You do have to find your own preceptors but it can be MD, DO, or FNP. I had also been looking at Maryville as well as Georgetown. The cost of Georgetown is very costly. . The cost of the program at Walden is around 24,000 and that includes books. It can be done as full time and completed in 18 months or part time.
