Ok, so I passed boards...now it's time to consider going on for more education. I'm not sure how to approach my desire to continue my insane education. I am contemplating an MBA...maybe a PhD. Has anyone ever gonne to Walden University? They are an accredited on-line university. Just wondering what other people had heard about them. Are they worth it?

Yes, I have heard of Walden. I have a friend who received her PhD in Psychology. She did most of her work on-line then attended ground Seminar classes for a few weeks per year. She also had about 6 months of clinical work she secured at our place of employment in order to receive her degree. My friend loved the program.

It is a school I might look into when I start working on my PhD after I am finished with my ADN. I already have a BA and MBA so that is my next educational step. Good luck.

You haven't had enough of school yet? Get out, take a deep breath, work, make money, see the world for a while.

Why does it seem like quite a few nurses have their MBAs? Is there a reason for it? :)

Is your program going to offer the DNP when it comes out? I can kinda see the logic in wanting to do something else kinda quick. Your are still kinda in student mode; probably would make it easier to adjust to more education.

What about law? With a JD, you open doors to administration, teaching, consulting in bioethics, in addition to working in medical malpractice stuff. There are lots of programs out there that offer part-time, 4 yr degree plans for working people.
