M.S. in Nursing Education @ Walden Univ.

I am certain that this poster has not done their homework about Walden. While I recognize this post is pretty old - the reality here is that Walden is a very reputable university. Their research focus is well documeted and respected by the academic community.

I attend Walden and think the university has a great program (from my own personal experience). I feel very confident that when I graduate with my MSN in Education that I will have earned a very valuable degree.

Thanks for sharing this post. I start with Walden Oct. 29..Can you tell me how labor intensive the classes are?

I am currently in my 3rd week at Walden. There are a minimum of posts in the discussion each week. It is taking more time than I anticipated but I am enjoying it. I'm glad that I chose Walden University.

Following up late myself on this dicussion. I graduated from Walden 4/22/07 MSN- Specialization in Education. It was a wonderful experience.....lots of work, but I feel well prepared as a nurse educator.

I have a colleague that started at Phoenix- didn't last. A much different program.

Walden is intellectual, has great expectations from the students, knowledgable and experienced professors and the courses are realistic and applicable.

My suggestion: if they still have the portfolio requirement: keep a copy of everything. You will need to submit actual papers you had written, assignments, etc. The end of this program is no joke...much more manageable if you keep up from the beginning. If a paper is not to be handed in for a grade- make sure you schedule time to do it anyway. It's easier to do it when you are in the class than later when you have forgotten resources and have other papers to do.
