   Choosing PMHNP program

   FuturePMHNP replied to FuturePMHNP's topic in NP Students

   I would go to Wilkes if I were you. I hear a lot of good things about Walden from students there however in the workforce their reputation is not that good. As programs keep popping up everywhere I think the market is going to get more competitive an...

   Hi yes I graduated from the program two years ago. Most of the faculty are pretty good. But there are a few that are difficult to work with. Program can be disorganized at times but I think that is true of most online programs. The exams were all pro...

   Thanks! That makes me feel much better. In fact I am thinking of moving up my test date. I am sure I am ready I just am super anxious and want to put boards off. But honestly it's probably better if I just get them over with!

    Husband not supportive of me going to school

    FuturePMHNP replied to sweetpea2014's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I divorced my husband over this same issue. He didn't support me going back to school either. We ended up getting back together a few years later. Now I'm a nurse and 6 months from graduating as an NP. Don't give up on your dreams!

    I think it's a good program. I am learning a lot although it's mostly self taught. I took patho at EKU and they definitely have more PowerPoints there. They had really big class sizes though while Wilkes has very small class sizes. The other thing I...

    Email or call Allie in admissions. She responds and should be able to get you some answers. Also I'm in the MSN. I'm not getting my DNP unless my employer wants to pay for it!

    You come to campus for a few days during Advanced Health Assessment. It's called an onsite clinical residency. We will meet with our professors and demonstrate a full assessment and things like that.

    No preceptor for health assessment because there is an onsite clinical residency for that class. You need preceptors just for your clinical hours which would be in your last spring and fall semester. So not for a little while yet! :)
