<p>Georgetown NHS generally competes with Penn Nursing for applicants and matriculants. It is a pretty rigorous program, combining liberal arts, basic science, and clinical experience, all from the first year. You’ll start your clinicals at GU Hospital in the second semester of freshman year. Currently, the science courses except for pharmacology (human biology I and II (anatomy and physiology), pathophysiology, and microbiology) are all taught by the infamous Dr. Angerio. Browse his reviews at ratemyprofessor.com. His courses are VERY rigorous, and taught at a pretty high level. They’re really difficult, but you’ll learn a lot more than you would at other programs. </p>
<p>NHS has its own computer lab, as well as a new basic science laboratory for your science lab classes (human bio and microbio). There’s also the clinical skills center, which includes GUS, a human patient simulator. NHS also just purchased a pediatric patient simulator as well, so you’ll be able to practice your clinical skills, see effects of drugs, listen to heart and lung sounds, etc. all on a fake patient before you do it on a real person.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in advanced practice nursing, NHS has many top programs in those areas, especially a Nurse Anesthesia program. NHS offers an early admission program for juniors to apply to so that you can be assured admission to the program after you graduate.</p>
