Chicagoland NP programs?

[sarahpinks]

I’m looking into going back to school for FNP. I have to BSN, and I’d like a hybrid program and not a 100% online program. Anyone attend any NP programs in the Chicagoland? Looking to apply to Loyola and the admissions counselor I’ve been in contact has been very vague with details of the program and clinical placement.

Also - how would you describe NP school compared to your BSN program? Is it manageable to work while going through a program? What do you wish you knew while applying or before starting?

Any help will be much appreciated!
