Current Walden University Students

Hello,

I am 1/2 way through the Masters program(Education focus):heartbeat at Walden University. Wondering if anyone else out there is in the program or has completed the program.

i am currently enrolled. I am almost finished with my first year-2 more to go. I did not have a BSN so am in the RN-MSN track. I am specializing in nurs ed.

Exactly where are you in the program? Did you have your BSN already?

How do you like Walden?

Would you choose that school again if you had it to do over?

Absolutely! It is not difficult. I teach fulltime and co-pastor a church with my husband. Have older kids-only one left at home. TO me it is doable, not too awful much work. THe biggest thing for me was learning APA format for papers......It also depends on where you enter at. Do you have a BSN already? I didn't so I had 3 years to do. I am jsut about to finish the first year.

No, I am an ADN. Is Walden affordable?

ADN to MSN is 20,000. INcludes all books tuition etc. That is the total cost.

Compared to other colleges it is adfordable. I got financial aide no problem. For a graduate program everyone qualifies for student loans.

How is the workload? I am just about to finish up my first year-2 more to go...I heard there were no more team projects after the first year. NOw typically I write two different 2-3 page papers, one 4-6 page paper and we do a team project with 3 components plus of course the discussions posting for each class. HOw is that compared to the actual Masters part of the program?
