The information was incorrect. There are tests in many of the classes.

Walden Class of February 2014 has had 100% pass rate of students who have taken boards so far!

I don't know about Texas, but I do know Mark Hill as a classmate. WU has a challenging program and the first class starts clinicals in September. Students who transferred from many "known" programs are doing clinicals already and will graduate firs...

I am finishing my fourth quarter at Walden, and start clinicals in September. I have worked full time and taken two classes every quarter. It is challenging, but this will allow me to complete it in 18 months. The program is challenging, and leisu...

First, there is not a published retention rate yet for the FNP program at Walden because it is new. The program is challenging, and I spoke with multiple MDs prior to starting an unknown program. All advised it did not matter where you went to scho...

I spoke to several MDs who told me it is not the school that matters, it is passing the board. Highly recognized school NPs take the same board as the others, and are in no higher demand than any other.

I believe this is a goal. How long have they talked about BSN being entry level for RNs? My state has directly on the Board of Nursing website that there is not plan for that requirement. Of course universities want this--$$$!

All the schools I spoke to had no problem with my BSN from WGU. About the online issue, most brick and mortar schools have a large portion of their program online. All the programs prepare you for the certification boards which are national. I spo...

It is rare for any of the programs to find the preceptor for the student.
