How is the FNP program going for those that have started? I just received my acceptance letter and I will be starting June 3. Is it possible to work full time at first and go to school. I have a full time job married and 1 teenage child. I am really nervous and afraid I will not be able to work full time. Any comments Please..[/quote']

Walden FNP has a Facebook page where you can talk with current students there. I cannot post a direct link due to TOS, but just do a search there for it.

Hello,

My name is Tammie. I am starting my 3rd quarter in the MSN-FNP program at Walden on June 3rd. I work 3-4 12hr shifts and have a PRN job. I have a 18 y/o boy and a 10 y/o girl. It can get crazy, but it is possible to work and go to school full time. I will start my clinical/practicum in December and have decided to try one class at a time then. My email is [email protected]

You will enjoy the program. I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I had started this years ago.

You heard wrong

Not untrue..I looked at this school (because I was considering doing the FNP with a friend) and she lives in a bordering state. They sent me a paper to sign that stated that if I did my clinicals in my home state that I may not be able to apply for licensure and they were not approved by the BON in my state.

In fact, the rep told me the application was "pending" so I called the BON and found out that they had never even APPLIED.

Needless to say, I dropped Walden like a hot potato.

Help! I am in the second class of the Walden FNP program. I am having a lot of trouble staying focused, motivated, and disciplined. I feel so isolated and need a buddy or group to bond with. I am looking for a student in the program who I can communicate with outside of class. I am hoping to create some kind of accountability/support and/or a study or review partner/group. I have been considering the UOP program since it's brick & mortar. However, I would not be able to keep my two jobs if I attend UOP and that would definitely be a setback. So, my plan is to find another student to work with and make this program a little more interactive. Anyone interested please let me know!

Thanks :)

I am an WALDEN student in the MSN/FNP program. I absolutely love it, I work 3-12 hour shifts, no kids right now and I have a FT boyfriend, I have lots of time for myself as well. I spoke with my advisor about a week ago and she said that they have students on a waiting list and I better be glad that I was accepted, she's really nice, she calls me just to check on me. I know of no other school who does this. I am glad I have my spot. I plan on becoming a nurse pract. preceptor when I graduate school that wont be until December of 2014 though. You can take one clinical class however you can also take two clinical classes, I'm gonna take 2 so that I can get it done in December I have 7 classes left. it only my second quarter, that's another factor in applying for NP programs. do you like semester or quarter, WALDEN is on quarters, 3 months a quarter, I like this because some of the classes are boring and you finish them faster
