I am considering GW - ANP, but still haven't applied yet. Did you applied, are you accepted?

Hello,

No, I have not applied yet. I am researching to see how the students or former students feel about the course work load and working. I will have to work while I attend a graduate school and would like to find a program that would be doable.

Hi

I am currently in the FNP program at GWU. I took four classes last semester and worked 3 twelve hour shifts per week and kept a 3.9 GPA. It kicked my butt but it can be done. I think it is all in how you apply yourself. I think you would be fine in the ANP program and continuing to work.

Good luck

Marsha

I am full of third hand information today. Like you, I was looking for student feedback last year, and I emailed with a member here who attends the ANP program at GWU. She had very positive things to say about it. I believe she was halfway through at the time. She said they had had one bad professor, but that the University was very responsive to the students' concerns and took steps to remedy the situation almost immediately. She also said that the sense of community among the students in her group was very strong, that it was genially competitive, not at all "cutthroat." Most of them had never met in person, but they were all very close and supportive.

The only negative things were that financial aid is hard to come by, though she was paying cash. Her fellow students had indicated they had a hard time securing assistance. She also said that she worked one 12 hour shift a week and she did not really think it possible for anyone to work more than that and be successful.
