ATLbubbles,

Are you in the full-time program? How long does it take to complete full-time studies?

CarrollS · Feb 16, 2015

ATLbubbles, please tell me some generalized questions that were asked. I was called for an interview!

Nhenry2B · Feb 16, 2015

Carroll's when did they contact you? This Friday and via phone or email?

CarrollS · Mar 9, 2015

Contacted me via phone. I underwent the interview and was accepted on the spot.

Whohoo, I was accepted into the FNP program. Thank you ATLbubbles and CarrollS for staying with me on this thread :). I wish you all the best as you move forward in your respective programs. I now have to weigh pros and cons of both the programs I was accepted into and go from there, but either way, onward it is.

I am also looking into GSU's program for MSN/FNP . Are classes available online for this track? How many class days are required per week? I am a BSN, RN with 2.5 years of experience. I work full time night shift at a hospital. Will I be able to work full time or would that be impossible? Part time only? How are clinicals organized and broken down for the semesters. Does the school arrange them? Last question: how much do you think it will cost? Sorry, no answers here. Just a bunch of questions Thanks!

Hi there. It's a hybrid program. You have one week out of the month that you attend all classes on campus. The other weeks in that month you login real time for class and participate like you would as if you were sitting in class. Every now and then they will put up modules that you do on your own time, but you do get tested on that stuff too. Only a couple of classes are set up so that you login and do the class time whenever you like. Otherwise you still have to block out that class day and time to login and participate in class. Several of my rockstar classmates worked full time and did this program too, and I was not one of them! I went from PRN to quitting altogether near the end so I could finish up my clinical hours and focus on boards. So it's definitely possible, but some of my classmates failed classes and ended up falling behind a semester or two due to difficulty keeping up with both full time work and the program. It's a GREAT program, and it prepares you well for boards and real life. There are clinicals every semester and they go simultaneously with the class. Like when you are taking Women's Health, that semester you will also do those clinical hours...along with another class likely (that doesn't have clinical hours). I did the program in 6 semesters or exactly 2 years, and it cost about $15-20K. There are several scholarships available, so I had half of my tuition paid off that way. It's all on their website.
