1. Walden University--any advice?

   75495RN replied to 75495RN's topic in NP Students

   Remember--and I'm not saying this is the case, necessarily--any school with an online program makes their money by having large numbers of students. Admissions advisers are basically sales people. Sometimes they are honest and knowledgeable, someti...

2. Walden University--any advice?

   75495RN replied to 75495RN's topic in NP Students

   Hi, Adventure780--good question! I'd make two phone calls, one to Walden and one to Connecticut's state board of nursing. Between the two of them, you'll get the straight story. You can also contact an admission adviser (I just called the number o...

3. Walden University--any advice?

   75495RN posted a topic in NP Students

   I am looking at Walden University as a means of earning my MSN with the goal of AGNP. Everything I see on their site looks encouraging (of course!). I'd love to hear from any current students or alumni about their experiences and whether they would ...

4. Direct Entry Programs (Pre-Speciality)

   75495RN replied to Wendilee's topic in NP Students

   I'm adding this after the fact: if I am wrong, I offer my apology. But this is the best I know.... OK, now to my reply post... I see no one has posted a reply (I just hate it when that happens), so I'll wade in. I don't know of any NP program that...

5. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

   75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate

   I wonder if you were licensed in MA if you could've gone there for clinicals? I hate that you weren't able to do what you wanted to do, but the idea of a post MSN certificate might be just what you need to be able to set up your clinicals and then s...

6. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

   75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate

   I am a current student. I appreciate all this detail! I started in spring semester but, like you, sensed they admitted everyone. About half my class of 20 or so were illiterate--they could not string three words together without grammatical errors,...

7. Maryville University Fall 2014

   75495RN replied to Gin820's topic in NP Students

   You got my attention and even though I was accepted at Maryville, I'm looking at Troy. The cost difference alone (assuming it won't take me an extra year or something like that) is reason enough. Might see you there.... Thanks for the post. :)

8. Maryville University Fall 2014

   75495RN replied to Gin820's topic in NP Students

   You'll be assigned to a class, and within that class, assigned to your group team for a particular course. Likely the first one will be Evidence Based Practice. I loved that course! I did not particularly care for my three team mates, since they w...

9. Books for Advanced Pathophysiology

   75495RN replied to Bryantfan's topic in NP Students

   Google the name of your school and the name of the course and the word "syllabus." You should come up with syllabi for the course at your school for each professor who teaches it. If you know who's teaching your section, you can see what books they ...

10. NNP Program advice needed

    75495RN replied to c3bakers's topic in NP Students

    And so, like, where did you go and would you recommend it?

11. cheap FNP program with no required GPA

    75495RN replied to anje's topic in NP Students

    If you have a good explanation for why your GPA is low, you may be able to get accepted anyway. I had some very stupid (no offense to present company) classmates at Maryville, which is why I initially left. Cost is in the 30's. Classmates are more ...

12. cheap FNP program with no required GPA

    75495RN replied to anje's topic in NP Students

    And at $90,000+, quite expensive. So is it's sloppy seconds school, Simmons.

13. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    75495RN replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral

    I don't think it is about pay. I think it is about scope of practice, if you were to compare NP's and PA's. My personal thought is that it is turfy and has more to do with physicians and their sense of competition, all dressed up in superficial safe...

14. Maryville University or Walden University for FNP

    75495RN replied to Nismo's topic in NP Students

    For ninety grand, you better be able to practice in all fifty!

15. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate

    I heard from my adviser there that this class is pretty big, and they were working on acceptance decisions last week. The DNP requirement is for people who start school after it is in effect, January '15 I think. So you are good if you can get into...
