1. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   Well, here I am...graduated in May. Passed boards in August. And in the state of Minnesota I cannot land a job at all. They are scarce for one and it is very competitive. And without directly telling me that part of the problem is being a Walden grad...

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   Do you have an email we can communicate through? You can reach out to me at [email protected]. I would be happy to share with you how I documented.

   Are you talking about what you log in Meditrek?

4. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   You know what they say about hind sight. I finished the program and can’t change that now. I should have done more research. I live in Minnesota and they are the only online program listed on the BON website as an approved program. And the only one w...

5. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   Neither one of them are listed on the Minnesota BON sites as approved and that’s why I went with Walden because they are.

6. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   When I attended (graduated in May), they give you a list of places that have previously been used and you’re on your own to make the connections and find a preceptor. You’re extremely lucky if they legitimately found someone for you because this is u...

7. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   No. You’re on your own for finding clinical sites. They provide a list and contact information of previously used sites but there is no guarantee that the sites are taking students.

   You’re welcome! Good luck in your endeavors and stay well!!

9. PMHNP Walden

   anonymous72 replied to Alix's topic in NP Students

   I am just now finishing up the program. The program is OK. If I had it to do all over again, I most certainly would not do Walden. There are many facilities where I live (in MN) who will NOT hire people who have completed online school and have discl...

10. You are NOT allergic to...

    anonymous72 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that some "allergies" listed are ridiculous, it is important to note when someone doesn't tolerate a medication too. I absolutely refuse Epi for sutures or dental work because it makes my heart race (120s- 140s) for hours after administ...

11. What should I expect in ER nursing?

    anonymous72 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    I came from ICU to ER. My nurse manager was actually hesitant to hire an ICU nurse because in her experience, "most ICU nurses don't make it in ED." The reason being is that you have to expect the unexpected in the ED. Things are always changing, you...

12. Differences between Medical Assistants and Registered Nurses?

    anonymous72 replied to MA2006's topic in General Nursing

    I was a medical assistant for 14 years...I am now a third semester nursing student. RN's and MA's are COMPLETELY different in my opinion. While my background as an MA has given me a little bit of a headstart on things as opposed to students in my cla...

13. What nursing Managers fail to see

    anonymous72 replied to Nursekat64's topic in Activism

    I say kudos to you NurseKat64! I am merely a second semester nursing student. My last 2 weeks of clinicals at our local hospital have been miserable...all thanks to a clinical lead there. WOW does she have issues. As a student, it is really discoura...
