Hi Jae919! I'm in the GW program and I live in Oklahoma. At orientation there were a lot of students who do not live in the DC area. I won't start clinicals until summer 2016 but they encouraged everyone to find preceptors ASAP, even a year in prior to when you'd start. They did say they could assist to help you find someone because they had lists of prior preceptors students have used. Also contacting your local nursing associations to find preceptors is helpful. Hope this is helps!

I ended up applying for the MSN FNP program to start in fall 2014, and I just found out Friday I got accepted!

Thank you for your response!! You have been so helpful! When you get a chance could you elaborate a bit on the group projects? How many and what did they entail. Did you have to meet with your group or did you do projects mostly by email and phone, etc? What exactly is the masters portfolio. How hard was it being in Maryland? I'm actually in the middle of the country, Oklahoma, and there aren't a lot of programs here so many of the nurses do online programs. I'm originally from the DC area so I'm fine coming there & GWU offers a RN to MSN for non-nursing bachelors (there aren't a lot in the country that do this) which I've talked to the admissions people about but wanted to get a personal perspective from an actual student doing the online program! I would have to fly there several times during the program, I'm aware & I'm ok with that, but how often did you feel that you actually needed to go and talk with the professors one on one? Thank you so much!!

Hi I was wondering if anyone has actually started or finished GWU Online Family Nurse Practitioner program and could give me any insight into how the program was? I was also curious if anyone did the program and was an out of state student (not in the DC/Virginia area) and how it went for you? Thank you!
