Msa, start looking for preceptors now. Good luck with your schooling.

I don't attend Walden, but I second this recommendation. Looking for my first preceptor has been a stressful endeavor for me because I started about 3 months prior to needing the preceptor based on recommendations from other students in the area. Many providers already had students lined up and could not accept me. If you line things up far in advance, you will have a markedly lower stress level when you advance in the program!

Discussions is alright. We use black board. I'm in research and informatics right now. Its alot of work because you have to do project or portfolio through out and discussions. You have to post at 3 times for discussions through out the week, but with deadlines. So far I haven't had any tests. In research, you have one group assignment in which that was easy. It was just simply an outline of a chapter. Lastly, I'm loving the program so far although it could alot work and reading. Well thanks and good luck of whatever you choose to do.

I'm currently enrolled in the AGNP program about to start my clinical next term the only courses where you have quizzes are your specializations courses being (3 in total):

1.) Advanced pharm

2.) Advanced Patho

3.) Advanced health assessment

The course is good I am enjoying the flexibility to continue working full time while pursuing my master's.
