Georgetown Online FNP Fall 2013 Applicants

Published

Hello everyone,

I have not been able to find a thread for Fall 2013 Georgetown applicants! So I am hoping that I did not look over any, and if I did, please let me know so that I can join in.

I applied to the Georgetown's on-campus FNP program and received an email last night that they are no longer offering on-campus instruction, but that my application will still be looked at normally for their online program.

Has anyone heard anything about their application process? How is everything going for anyone?

Hope to hear from some of your soon!

Oh I'm so sorry CK! :( That is a bummer! Do they at least give a reason for why the denial? I also applied to University of Cincinnati for FNP, still waiting on a transcript and a letter of recommendation to be received. I know they told me 6-8 wks to find out. How long did it take for them to come back and give you an answer after they received your app?

Hey have you heard of nursing@simmons ? it's set up just like Georgetown University program (videos, asynch and synch and pre-recorded lectures) i think around 40-50K for the entire thing? I'm looking into that one as well! =)

I think that simmons has you find your own preceptors which is a lot to ask at those prices.

They have a preceptor department, you can give your suggestions for who you would like to precept you (even at the place you currently work, as long as you dont' work under the people you currently work with), and they take care of the entire vetting process. This was one of my questions when I applied. Most all schools ask NP students to find their own preceptors, this was not something I was overly concerned with and honestly I would prefer to network and find my own so that I'm comfortable with the person I'm working with during clinicals. Since my office has 8 other family clinics, plus other clinics we refer our patients out to, I know I won't have trouble filling those spots. I suppose that might be daunting to a student that doesn't have contacts or is afraid to make contacts. So far most all people I've talked to, including my medical director has given me names and has spoken of me to others so when the time comes I will have a list to choose from.

Thats good news. We have 4 B & M programs in my area and I don't want to find that there isn't room for me at the table of students.
