Does anyone know of a 100% online WHNP program? How are clinical hours performed? If not, how does a Hybrid class work, such as the one offered through ASU?

Thank you!

Googling online WHNP program yields many results….drexel university is one that first comes up. Typically for online programs and brick and mortar schools, >600 clinical hours are required. You usually find your own preceptors around your local area. Sometimes your school will help set you up with providers. A hybrid to my knowledge is one that there is some in class work and some online work. For example, you have class once a week and everything else is online with the exception of your clinical hours.

There are many programs that offer 100% of classwork online, but require clinical time. Drexel, Georgetown (WHNP/CNM dual), U of South Alabama, and others come to mind.

A list of all WHNP programs in the country is here http://www.npwh.org/files/WHNP%20Program%20Directors_9_15_2014.pdf

Frontier Nursing University has a WHCNP program that is online. You visit the campus twice (once at the beginning of the program and once before you start clinicals). You do your clinical experience in your community and need 675 clinical hours. It is a great program from which I am a graduate.

Drexel's program is online with on campus visits that are 1-3 days long once each clinical quarter. Any program is going to have clinical hours...obviously not online. Drexel does have classes that meet in an online classroom and these become mandatory...plan to meet once a week.
