Chicago!!

I'm currently applying to more reputable but competitive programs. I am considering Maryville as a back up school. At the end of the day, it would get me to the degree and the license. Do you think it's possible to feel prepared and confident as an ACNP with the education Maryville provides? With the understanding that you have to put in your own work? Vanderbilts program looks incredible but their price tag is quite the doozy.

How do you attend the block time that you're required to be on campus while working full time? I work a normal 9-5 and just don't think I can take every 8th week off for the on campus blocks. Applying for the AG-ACNP program.

I know people in online FNP but not ACNP programs. I've been looking into Georgetown and there are a few things I find really great about their program. Their classes are live so you actually video chat with the professor and students throughout the lecture. They also have in--person intensives where you go there for a few days and have hands on learning (I'm assuming this is like a simulation lab for assessment and such). They also find your clinical placements for you, which is nice. Other online programs I have found are Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, and Maryville.

Any updates about your application process? I am sitting at a 3.1 and am nervous about it. I told the admissions counselor that I thought it would be better for me to wait to apply and submit an application later with the GRE and a certification and she said she thought I would be a great fit and should apply now. It makes me nervous because I don't know how competitive my application actually is. My work experience is pretty great so hopefully they do care about a holistic applicant.

How did this go?! I'm in the application process right now for Jan 2020 AG-ACNP cohort. I have very average grades but fairly unique/impressive work experience that I hope sets me apart. I have my online interview scheduled for this upcoming week and I am very nervous about it.
