Looking for an online FNP program that is affordable on both money and time.

Hi. I am and ADN on the final term of RN to BSN program in WGU and looking in to next step of FNP. I currently have 2 jobs (a full time ER nurse and part time teaching in a private academy). Generally, one RN job should be sufficient to support a family member of 2 but with such a high living cost in California and low paying hospital, I have no choice but to keep these 2 jobs. I am in this low paying hospital because this year is just starting of 2nd year working as a RN and no other hospital hired me as a new grad beside this hospital. On top of that, I am doing full time online BSN program which I have been handling fine so far with time management.

I heard and seen that FNP program is much more difficult and very time consuming. So, I am definitely considering a part time FNP program. I have been doing some searches and easily found lists of schools. Yet, which school is more lenient with workload is not easy to find out. I am not looking for an easy school and there shouldn't be any FNP program that would be easy anyways. However, I would like to have a program that is able to keep me with these 2 jobs that I have. I might be trying to catch 3 rabbits at the same time but doing 18 years of teaching and have passions in teaching, I just can't give it up. Even if I have to sacrifice my resting/playing/whatever time, I have to keep these 2 jobs.

I heard that Georgetown is rigorously hard. I would love to go to Georgetown even just for the name but I don't think I can handle that much of workload.

So, if any of you are currently or were previously in FNP program, I would love to hear each school's workload. I know that answers can be very objective but it's better than nothing.

I would like to thank all of you who would participate with my concerns. Thank you very much for your time.
