Nurse practitioner education is predominately online. Some programs have students come to the campus only to take tests and examine practice patients. Other programs are completely online with no campus visit ever. Duke and Vanderbilt have lots of on campus visits required. It's not just a question of rigor or prestige. It's also a question of academic integrity. Do you prefer an NP who graduated from a program where all testing was done in person? Do you think that online is as good as in person education where the students spend many long hours studying, practicing, and discussing with each other? Are you answering these questions as a potential nurse practitioner student who currently lives in the middle of nowhere? Or are you answering as the patient who lives in the middle of nowhere who may have a nurse practitioner as the only healthcare provider option? There are many physicians criticizing the predominately online nature of nurse practitioner education. Clarification: the clinical training involving actual patients is always in person.
