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.

Hey guys, last year they had a new dean that thought eliminating interviews would be less time consuming for faculty, but faculty decided they really need to interview people before they enter the program. They want to get to know everyone. you apply. Then they call you for interview. You go to the interview and sit around a table with the other interviewees. They go over general info with everyone, they they send you out one by one for interview. I noticed everyone around my table seemed to have gotten in. So if you get that far and they get a good feel for you, you are probably pretty much in

I think it's pretty competitive. That's what they told us in the interviews at least. I know of people that have not gotten in, so they def don't take everyone. I don't know how MAT score works. It's definitely not like the TEAS. Because I scored around an 80 on that MAT and thought that was terrible but apparently it was right on track. My Nursing school GPA was 3.72, but my overall from every single college class I've ever taken was something like a 3.3. I'm pretty sure they look at the program GPA of 3.72, which is pretty competitive in nursing.

Hi there, I was just accepted into GSU's FNP program for Spring 2015. What would you like to know? You go to the website and go to admissions and click on Apply Yourself or something like that. It'll take you to the online app and you just follow directions. You have to write an essay, a statement of purpose, upload resume, get at least 2 recommendations and one has to be from a professor if you were in school in the last 5 years, and send in your transcripts. There's some forms to fill out to, but it's all there. It'll check stuff off as you turn it in and you can see what is still pending from you. Good luck!

I'm new to this site and love it. I was hoping to get some info ｆｒｏｍ current or former GSU ACE students. What does a typical week's schedule look like? I will be a mother of 3 when I (hopefully) start the program Fall 2010, and I will be commuting 45+ min downtown for classes/clinicals. I was wondering if they have it where we can take classes/clinicals on like MWF or something, so I wouldn't have to trek down there every daｙ．
