<p>If your plan is just to become an RN and stop there, I would definitely caution you against schools like Georgetown (and Penn) for Nursing unless you are loaded and money is no issue or you are poor enough to receive copious amounts of aid from Gtown. I’m not trying to detract from any of the Nursing majors here (they put so many long hours into clinicals, I could never do it) however, if your ultimate goal is just to be an RN, Georgetown won’t really give you enough of a leg up to justify the difference in cost than say your state university. </p>
<p>That being said, NHS is an often forgotten gem at Georgetown. The International Health and Healthcare Management and Policy programs are extremely unique to Georgetown, taught for the most part by very capable and qualified faculty, and superior programs if you want to get involved in the healthcare field, regardless of whether or not you dream of getting an MD. On the same token if your sure you want go to med school, the Human Science major is pretty much as close as you’ll get to Med School as an undergrad. And agian, as Jason said we have a fabulous nursing program, as well as a top grad program too. My opinion is just to do a bit of a cost/benefit analysis before you cough up $200,000+ to become a nurse.</p>
