Hello everyone,

I have been admitted to both schools( George Washington and Drexel online FNP) for the Fall 2017 and I am struggling with making a decision. Please advise which school is better and why? I appreciate all the advice I can get .

Hi Lena. Have you considered making a pros and cons list of the two schools? For example, cost, length of time, admissions rates, board pass rate, whether the school provides preceptors, national statistics, etc.? Also, a list of things that you want from the program and seeing whether those school match up with your desires. I don't know if anyone could directly compare both schools unless they had gone to both, and I definitely would not want to go to NP school twice just to compare which school were better.

From looking at the course of study from each institution for the FNP, I would choose Drexel. You have 5 clinical rotations, multiple required on campus visits for hands on learning, and 2 pharmacology courses. Those things (IMO) are important indicators of a decent program.

If a program is short, with low credit hours, low clinical hours, and limited/no on campus time - then avoid it.

If Drexel helps you find preceptors, I say choose them.
