Georgetown FNP program Fall 2017

Published

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. Is there anyone out there who will be attending the online FNP program through GU with cohort start Fall 2017.

I'd like to be loan free by 10 years out of school. If my wife were to quit working, which was the plan, we'd be back living the same way we are now for 10 more years and we'd both be in our mid 40's. Seems way too long to live with such debt, at such an age. We live below our means as it is ($40k house, and I drive a rust bucket $600 Cavalier), so that amount of debt just seems insane. We're basically a one income household, as my wife brings home enough to cover the house payment each month and that's it.

Around here the wage for acute care NP's range very widely. $90k-$130k. Knowing my luck, I'd be stuck at $90k. Wife has no idea of ever moving so I'm SOL.

Hi Burks21,

I totally understand. I have a family too and I am the only one working. Believe me, I had to weigh pros and cons due to the price of GU. I just hope for a decent wage when I graduate in few years. I have mentioned Un of Cincinnati in my earlier post. And they r much cheaper. I just fell in love with GU, so I am kind of trying to reason my choice. We shall see!!

If I was looking at FNP I'd go to UoCin or Ohio State. A friend of mine went there (moved there actually, Cincinnati) for his ACNP. Absolutely loved the program and staff.

Hi pams155, thank you! Don't fret too much about the wait- mine took at FULL 6 WEEKS (the longest 6 weeks ever).

I did the interview back in December and submitted my full application on New Year's Eve... it took 3 weeks for them to get through some "technical difficulties" in attaching my interview to the application, and another 3 weeks for the decision.
