  1. I will agree with several of the other posts. I think I would add that there needs to be student engagement in the class. While I agree that this is college and the material needs to be learned, by...
  2. I agree ... I have never been very fond of group projects with distance
  3. No - during my MSN there were no group projects required. All projects and assignments were student centered and did not require group
  4. I just graduated from the MSN - Nursing Education program with Walden University. It was a wonderful program and I learned a great deal. The program is truly great for those nurses that plan on...
  5. I am still looking for a program that I feel is a good match for me. I have been looking at Capella, but I also would like something that is ground based and somewhat local to me in North Carolina....
  6. Thank you for the link - the program really looks wonderful. Would not work for me because of the required residencies, but overall a very strong PhD program. Thanks
  7. Thank you. Please post more information or a
  8. Just a quick update for those that are following this thread. I graduated from Walden's MSN Program two weeks ago. I can tell you that the portfolio and practicum almost killed me! But in the end, I...
  9. The preceptor must have an MSN right now. There has been some talk of requiring a higher terminal degree for preceptors, but it is difficult enough trying to find a qualified preceptor with an MSN....
  10. This means that my degree (which will be confurred in AUgust of 2009) will be an MSN.
  11. hey tweety ....:yeah: yes, i was drawn out of the abyss of my studies in an effort to respond to gigi:lol2:. i have not been online with allnurses for some time and i have to say that i really miss...

    Congratulations! I am almost done with my MSN through Walden - Education as a track. I have really enjoyed the program. A lot of work - but really worth it. I think you will really like the
  15. Wow - very interesting thread. Have been lurking for the past couple of days just reading the responses and posts. As a nurse that will have an MSN shortly, I am slowly making a decision whether to go...
  16. BRAVO to you! I think it is a good decision for you. Please remember that their programs are growing and their enrollment is also grwoing so they may not be as student centered as you might like....

    Conceptual Framework?

    Your BSN program should have a theorist that they have based their curriculum develop on. This theorist should be the primary focus of much of your studies. During my BSN program, the theorist that...
  18. Thank you for this post. I think it is very important to recognize the contribution that every level of nursing makes to the entire profession and to the patient (whomever they may be). I started my...
  19. Tweety, The graduate nursing program at Walden is not like that. I mean, they do want you to apply your knowledge in your practice, but most of the classes I have taken (at least in the core MSN...
  20. Hey Tweety, I love Walden. I am in my 7th class and finally doing my specialization (Education). I am also working in the ICU and teaching as an adjunct and find it very doable. I like the fact that...

    I have spoken with the program director several times in an attempt to apply for the FT position. Their educational position at this time, calls for an MSNeD. I agree with you that they are probably...

    are online MSN programs respected?

    I agree with you. I have been trying to get on board with a local ADN program for the last year and they are requiring a MSN in Education. You are correct in that the BON requires a min. of a BSN to...

    Leaving Management Role

    I have finally made the decision that nurse management is far too involved and requires, if not demands far too much time. The deicison I have made is really related to the fact that I am no longer...
