Just giving others information that not all places are like the ones your speaking of. My experience.

I'm a single mother of 3, work full time, and online school is all I can do. Not sure what state your in. I'm grad from UOP and got a job at the biggest trauma center in northern CA. So what ever my future holds, I know I work well under pressure, am up for a challenge and have excellent time management skills. ?

In California you have to take a state exam to become licensed in CA for Walden degree.

In CA, PMHNP are in high demand, so graduating from Walden, I'm sure you can find a job.

I live in California and work in Psych. I know a few PMHNP who graduated from Walden, and found jobs.

My experience is large institutions may not hire you right away, until you have paid experience and a work history. So you may start a job at a less desirable place, but get the experience then you are more marketable. Good luck! I too am in the process of applying to Walden PMHNP!!
