Georgetown's full time FNP program

Published

I am trying to decide how much I can work while in Georgetown FNP full time program, and ensure I am successful. Currently I plan to work part time (every other weekend, 12 hour shifts), also I do not have children and my only other obligation is that I am the co chair of a council at my work (requires about 4 meetings per month about an hour or so long each). I do want to be able to fit in quality time with my husband, friends and family. The program is 19 months long and I hear it is very intense (83% needed to pass, several closed book proctored tests per class, plus multiple papers and assignments). I copied and pasted Georgetown's Full time curriculum below. I was hoping someone that has been through this program or a similar one might have some advice on what it takes to get through this program successfully and how many hours a week/day should be committed to studying. Thank you in advance.
