M.S. in Nursing Education @ Walden Univ.

Tweety,

That is great! I am in my second class at Walden. I work FT, M-F as an Educator at a clinic. I teach classes out of town and have some overnights. The online class format is the only way I could accomplish graduate school. Also married and have two small children. Figure they'll be in first grade when I am done and won't remember all the stress I had for two years.

I was the same way when I started Tweety. I really did not want to go back to school so soon after I finished my BSN. The first 1-2 courses were really tough for me because of the difference in format (Online Environment) than what I was used to with UoP. I struggled to know where everything was and when assignments were due, etc. But midway through the second class it all clicked and now I feel right at home with the whole thing. I am in a good routine with school and it has not impacted my personal schedule as much as the BSN program did. Perhaps that is because I am balancing things better.

I am looking forward to you attending and hope you like it - I am sure you will. Best of luck friend!

So how are the Walden students doing out there?

I haven't started yet. Too lazy, but getting motivated. I needed some time off after BSN school.

I am in my 5th class with Walden. It is doable. I was in some other programs before and it si by far the best. It si some work, but managable. I teach in a vocational nurising program 5 days a week. With prep time, clinicals, and a family (well no young kids- 17 yr and my 21 year old fixing to movw out). Myhusband and I also pastor a church. With all this I still find it manageable. Weekly postings, usually 1 or 2 papers each 8 weeks.
So far the professors are fair, and I have learned a lot. I am in the education spec. track

respond if you have any questions.

Hi. Thanks. I am a bit nervous since I've started a new job working Mon-Friday five 8-hour shifts and have other things going on.

I do actually have a question. Are there a lot of "find a problem at work, what would you do to fix it" kind of projects? We had that for a capstone project at my BSN program and I'm thinking Walden is kind of like that. I hated it. I'd rather research topics, than come up with problems and then research. I waste so much valuable time coming up with a problem that it's very aggitating to me.
