2. Walden University - the latest on the FNP program

   msa9179 replied to msa9179's topic in NP Students

   We may very well be in the same class. I don't know how many class/instructors there are, I would assume several at least. I didn't pay very close attention to how many students are in the class.

   Also, just still asking around.... Anybody from Texas graduate from Walden NP program? Any problems with getting NP licensure in Texas. Getting ready to start but also hoping to hear from some successful Texas students just for peace of mind.

   msa9179 replied to PinkiePie3k's topic in Western Governors

   I have told this story a few times throughout AN, so please forgive me if you have already read it elsewhere, but my nursing education experience might help guide you. I started my nursing education in my late 20's, after I was married and had debt,...

    This post actually reminded me that I had started a thread elsewhere in AN asking about having and MSN in education vs leadership in order to become a nurse educator. There was a lot of good info shared. The overall answer seemed to be that if you ...

    Hello all, I recently completed my BSN through WGU, and will be starting my MSN there soon. I have not exactly decided yet on a route.....education vs leadership. After extensive soul-searching, I have decided that I may not have the stomach for m...

    The community health practicum is a project that you complete, and requires at least 90 hours of work in the community. These 90 hours are not satisfied by doing "clinical rotations" or something. The 90 hours is spent more on researching the commu...

15. Will WGU accept Excelsior's A&P/Micro (non-lab) for the RN-BSN?

    msa9179 replied to ~agape~'s topic in Western Governors

    I just finished my BSN through WGU. I did my RN through Excelsior and took their A&P and Microbiology classes. So, essentially, I was in the same position. Since there is no lab component with Excelsior's A&P and Micro classes, this must b...
