I applied in February and heard back mid March about 11 weeks before bound. Waiting is the hard part! Good luck !

Well I eventually decided on frontier and I'm not regretting it at all. I've already met so many people from my class and we don't start until July.

I'm a little worried myself but I keep hearing that there is a lot of help. With Georgetown they help you also. It was a real toss up!

I know this is a very old post but I'm currently accepted at Georgetown and Frontier.... I'm so torn with the cost at Georgetown... I love both programs. How was your experience and was the cost worth it?

I sadly have not chosen at all...at this point I'm letting the school choose me.. Georgetowns cost is í ½í¸–... Both programs are great. I would really look in to learning style and see what works for you. Frontier as I understand it is more self directed. Georgetown you actually have to show up in a virtual class room.

How are you liking the program thus far? I was just accepted into the program started this may.

They actually didn't require the GRE for Georgetown. The cost is the only thing holding me from just accepting. Both are great programs!

Hello All I was accepted to Georgetown WHNP/CNM program (Yay!!) but I am still waiting to hear from Frontier CNM (Class 151). Both programs have their pluses and minuses. I'm A. wondering who else maybe in class with me and B. How long to hear back from Frontier. C. What have you all seen as the pluses of both programs?

How long did it take for you all to hear back? I just submitted my application Feb 19. Waiting is terrible!

I have been a nurse for nearly 3 years now...I started at a nursing home (hated it ) and I have been on a very busy medsurg floor for nearly 2 years now. Busy and crazy nearly all the time. I hate having 8 patients . Despite the bad days I still love nursing. I have always been interested in the NICU and L & D. Recently NICU has really been on my mind. I was wondering about the learning curve and and what are some good books to give me a bit of prep and review. I appreciate any advice Nikki

Really a 12 week orientation... that sounds wonderful.. I had like 4 weeks and as it is a LTC when orientation is over you are really on your own 1 nurse (me) and 5-6 CNAs.

I started nursing as a new career choice:). I was so excited in nursing school... I thought great I will be right there with the patients and really making a difference . I passed my NCLEX in September and I was so excited . Fast forward to today... I feel like crying daily . I feel like I have forgotten everything I learned in nursing school. Jobs were scarce so I am working in a nursing home. I feel like everyone one around me knows what they are doing. I spend most days on a floor working bymyself with somewhere between 35-44 patients and 4-6 CNAs. I am overwhelmed and exhausted and I feel like everyday I am on the brink of disaster. When I report off to the next shift I often hear "oh you should have done this". I pray daily for strength to make it through. I read about people having preceptors and think how nice that must be to have had someone near to ask a question. I sometimes wonder if I made a mistake becoming a nurse... I want to give the best care to my patients and yes I am a bit of a perfectionist. I knew nursing would be hard but .... Any advice will help:confused:
