Anyone attending Kaplan or Walden University?

[tadahh99]

I am currently looking into and applying to several FNP programs. I am wondering if anyone has attended or is attending either Kaplan or Walden? If so, what has your experience been like so far? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Are you in the Kaplan FNP program? Are you an alumni? Good or bad experience? Please could you share your experience here.

Thank you

I was accepted into Kaplan and Graceland. I started Kaplan first and thought about jumping ship to Graceland. I like Kaplan so far, and it is a little cheaper than Graceland, and does not require the campus visit which would be another 2k. If you have questions about Kaplan or Graceland let me know. I think its best to go with your gut on the program you choose. They all have negative comments if you look around, generally about how someone was robbed of their financial aid, but ive yet to see any significant issues with any of these schools yet. If you have one please include specifics. Good luck everyone!

3 nurses at my hospital are attending Walden. 1 house supervisor is graduating from Kaplan.

I'm looking into the Kaplan online FNP program now. Did you decide to go with Kaplan? Did you take 1 or 2 classes at a time? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Any advice or things to watch out for regarding the Kaplan online FNP program (ie: taking 1 or 2 classes at a time, financial aid, etc.)?

kellyshel,

Did you complete your degree? I'm looking at starting the Kaplan online FNP program and I'd love to be done within 2 years. How many classes are you taking at a time, etc.?

[tom5859, BSN, MSN, EMT-P]

Kaplan is 2 courses at a time to be done in 2 years. Its not bad at all. Plus Kaplan was bought by Purdue, so we got that going for us.

I'm considering Walden's Psychiatric NP program, which starts late August. I'm a travel nurse, making this one of the few ways I can obtain my MSN in Mental Health. I've seen so many comments about Walden that it's tough to discern which one's to take to heart.

Anyone have recent experiences with Walden's MSN NP, psych, FNP, etc, positive or negative?

Tough to obtain clinical clearances?

Thank you!!
