OK i called the TX HECB today - here's what they said. Walden has a Certificate of Authorization in place for their Adult/Geri NP. FNP is not listed on their certificate. They need to have this added which shouldn't be hard. They are certified by NCACS for the THECB.
Ok so - anyone that has actually researched this and has a solid answer. Are we OK to take clinicals for the FNP in Texas and have them COUNT so we can sit for licensure exam???

Mark,
I'm also at Walden taking FNP. I'm only on my second quarter taking just 5 credits at a time. I love all your post. People think that Walden is easy but it's actually hard and time consuming.
Since you've already taken the specialty courses, can I ask if the assignment writing part ever gonna end? I'm okay with the discussions since it's kinda informal but the long paper is just exhausting! I am not a gifted writer so it consumes my time trying to construct a coherent and gramatically correct paper. I read in your post that there are quizzes every week and discussions in the specialty courses. Are there assignment papers as well? I think my strength is more on quizzes and tests. To me writing is harder than memorizing. I would appreciate every input.
Thanks!

Is it doable to work full time taking advanced patho and health assessment ? I don't want to postpone practicum but is it's worth it I will

NO...The writing never ends. The last classes are the worst. You can do it, one step at a time....
I graduated from Walden Feb. 23, took the AANP exam 10 days later without a review course and passed it easily. Walden prepared me well!

Mark do you know how many people have graduated so far and how many have passed/failed etc.? Two classes have graduated so far right?
Actually, this class is the inaugural class. Last quarter there were a few transfer students who graduated, and I know many of them have passed and only one who has not.....but I do not have any statistics.

Hi Mark Hill BSN,
Can an individual choose to only go part time (1 class a semester, if they prefer...due to their work schedule?) Thanks.
Hi Mark Hill BSN, Can an individual choose to only go part time (1 class a semester, if they prefer...due to their work schedule?) Thanks.
Yes...but it will take you 3 years to finish. I have a good friend who is doing it part-time.
Thanks Mark!!
Are you referring to 3 years (part time) if I have an ADN or BSN? Also are there any entrance exams and pre-reqs required for admission for the RN to MSN program (FNP)?
Again Mark, thanks....I am excited already =-).......
