   I would not recommend Walden only because they do not provide much help with finding preceptors. If you can help it save yaself and go to a school that provides preceptors for u! It's been a definite headache for.me and many others with that.

   The program has been going ok. I actually had to sit out this semester because I couldn't find another preceptor so short of notice. I am still having a tough time finding a precept or and am looking into other options. Now that the medical school in...

   smileyfacefee replied to aprildawn1221's topic in NP Students

   Coincidentally I just lost my preceptor for the 2nd time..I thought it would be easy too but am finding that many preceptors will say they can do it but the facility won't let them. Then I also didn't realize that they can't be in a practice with a ...

   smileyfacefee replied to aprildawn1221's topic in NP Students

   I attend Walden University and am in my last year (about to start clinicals). I would say it's very feasible for people working part time but if taking 2 classes it would be difficult due to the requirement of clinical hours..but there are people who...

    smileyfacefee replied to Atl-Murse's topic in NP

    My understanding is that so many NP schools are popping up because of a potential large shortage of doctors is anticipated in the future. In my area I don't see that a lot of nurses are in NP school but there are a lot of students in nursing school! ...

    smileyfacefee replied to MiahMSN's topic in NP Students

    If worse comes to worse and you really think it's the job and not just the facility influencing your feelings, you can see what options you have for getting a master's of nursing in another area maybe?
