I definitely would not recommend working fulltime. I completed GCU's FNP program, it was a hybrid online/in class program. It requires a lot of clinical hours (600) plus the coursework time. I just checked what the Acute Care NP program requires--575 hours of clinicals, plus coursework. You will find that the program is very demanding...especially when trying to track down clinical preceptors, arrange scheduling between preceptor and your school schedule, plus somehow pencil in work. I worked two twelves a week and found that to be more than difficult during my three years of NP school. It is possible, but I don't think it is a good lifestyle or allots for a good learning comfort level. Try part time and loans.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone is in or has completed the GCU ACNP program. What are your thoughts on it? Would I be able to work while going through it? Is it as hard or harder than nursing school?
Thank You for any help
