I am considering applying for the part time FNP program but I have postponed it due to a new job. It has a set schedule. I also live in california.

If you don't mind me asking, how does the curriculum look like? Is it on certain days? Can you watch videos of classes if you are scheduled to work that day, etc?

Thank you! And congrats to everyone!

Chessie,

You do have to attend class each week at the same time and day you registered for. You are required to attend unless you have permission from your professor or an emergency. Unfortunately, they do not consider work a valid reason for missing your live class time. They do offer numerous class times, most of them are Tuesday through Friday and I've been told a very rare Saturday for certain classes. The program is intense. Once Clinical's start they are scheduled during the weekdays and become more time intensive each term. First clinical term is one day per week plus two classes, 2nd is two days with 2 classes, last clinical term is 3-4 days per week plus two classes (for the part time program). My advisor told me that GUs part time program is equivalent to most schools full time program. They say to expect 8 hours of study time per credit hour per week, NOT including the 4 hours per week of required live class time. I am cutting back my hours to one day per week for the first year and I may have to quit working my second year when clinical's start. I hope this information helps!

Ok guys, as the program is around the corner, I'm starting to get cold feet because of the costs. I don't have any debts now which is good but it also means that I don't know much about loans. I found out today that graduate students are only qualified for loans that accrue interests immediately. Also, I'm super anxious about all the extra fees, interests of interests, etc that I don't even fully understand. I'm a control freak and not knowing the most efficient way to tackle my finances stresses me out. I am determinined to go to GU but after reading horror stories of student debts, I feel lost and nervous. Any insights (or even relaxation tips lol) would be appreciated.
