Online FNP for Active Duty?

Published

Specializes in ICU, Military.

I'm an active duty Navy RN. Are there any online NP programs that are flexible enough for an active duty nurse? I would prefer not to do DUINS (I don't want the commitment as I'm considering separating in 2017). Id also be interested in taking some core classes that would count towards an NP degree without enrolling in a full time program if such a thing exists, then roll those classes into a full time program when I separate. Is this feasible?

Wow $1246/credit hour? Ouch. Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm not looking to use my GI bill just yet. Active duty TA (tuition assistance) is only $250/credit hr so this is probably not an option for me. I have enough time left in service to use TA without incurring additional commitment. I'd prefer to save my GI Bill for later when I have to get doctorate. Thank you for the reply though I really appreciate it

I would look into the local state university near where you are stationed. Often, public universities will give you the in-state tuition rate if you are active duty. Most nursing graduate programs are designed for people who are at least working part-time (i.e. classes are generally 1x per week for 3-4 hrs).
