Current Walden University Students

HOw was the portfolio? Was it difficult to maintain and do? What about the practicum?
I start my core courses in Jan, as I just finished my 1st year (foundational courses).
2 yrs to go...

How was the evidence based research class? I will be starting that class on Jan 5th. I envy your progress. My graduation date is May 2010. Any tips?

Thanks

I've just fininshed my Associate degree, and I'm looking for an online university with an RN-MSN. I would really like to know about your experience with Walden. Please tell me everything.

Please tell me about Walden as a choice for an RN-MSN. I am in the process of gathering information.

Hi, I am a nurse educator and am preparing to begin the program in March. Anything you could tell me would be appreciated. Thanks a million, Deb

I am starting in March 09. How is it so far? I am in the education tract. How about you?

The classes are do able. I don't really find them hard. You post discussion questions, responses to classmates, and write a few papers each 8 weeks. Not too bad. I am in the RN-MSN tract-education spec. I did not have have a BSN so I am doing the 3 years. I have completed the first year. The only thing I really didn't like the first year was the team projects. If you already have your BSN you will skip that first year and have no team projects. You would hten only have the 2 years. It really is not hard, just time consuming writing papers.
They are sticklers for APA format. There are porgrams that format papers for you. If you have Word 07 it has a formatting program built in.

If you have specific questions just ask. You can email me privately if you want.

I am also a student at Walden University and I abolutely love it . I am in the MSN program with the education specialty. It is a whole bunch of papers but if you can knock that out you should really do well. I am due to take 6140 and I think that I have 6 or 7 classes to go before I am done
Start looking into the APA format because it is the format of choice for papers and the more familiar you are with it the better of you will be.

Best of luck and feel free to pm me with any other questions that you may have now or once you begin in the program.

I am in the education specialization track. I am NURS 6100 now. How do you feel it is going? Still have 3 or 4 papers per class and the discussion postings? I don't find it too bad. What about the portfolio assignemnts? Are they pretty tough on grading them? I would PM you but I don't know how to PM--at least I cant remember
