NP programs with clinicals at end only

[HelloWish, ADN, BSN]

I am hoping to get a job offer for a M-F 8-5 job and want to attend NP school. So I am looking for a program that I can attend online with the clinical component at the end of the program where I would most likely drop down to PRN or stop working to finish out clinicals. My goal is to work full time for the next two years while attending an NP school online hopefully part time.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thank you!

I have never heard of anything like this.

The first portion of your advanced degree will not have clinicals. These classes are for ALL advanced practice nurses...educators, researchers, clinical specialists, nurse practitioners, etc. The balance of the program will be your actual nurse practitioner classes and are a blend of classroom and clinicals. Your clinicals will help "cement" the classroom learning. As Dranger notes, I do not believe you are going to find a program that puts clinicals "all by themselves".

Thanks. I found one program that does this but it is much more expensive than other programs. I will probably just wait two years and then drop down to PRN status and go to school full time.

Drexel is like this, i think.

Walden University has a 3 year bridge program for ADN RNs to MSN, all online, with the practicum taking place in the last year. It was just under 60k, I thought it was harder than it should be and I feel like my preceptors, review courses, and myself taught me everything I actually learned, and I paid a crap load of money for people to grade useless papers and for a degree.

But it meets the criteria you're looking for.

I think I'm just as qualified as my counterparts because you get out of your education what you put into it and I sought out the best preceptors in each of their respective fields; but I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
