  1. Walden University Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

    Hey! I was wondering if I could pick your brain about the PMHNP program. I won't flood you with questions unless you're up for

  2. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    platinum_garb replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey! I've seen some of your other posts over time while searching about Walden. I'm 99% committed to starting my PMHNP MSN with them in February. I have to file my FAFSA yet, but that's really it. I...

  3. ADN or BSN

    platinum_garb posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    platinum_garb replied to platinum_garb's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm at about the same point that you are in the process. I, too, have less than stellar credit and I'm looking to take out probably 13,000 in private loans for the first 12 months of the program. I...

  9. ADN or BSN

    platinum_garb replied to platinum_garb's topic in Illinois Nursing

  16. Foley Induction?

    platinum_garb replied to platinum_garb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks. I figured they'd go to the Pitocin after, but I wasn't sure. That's why I came to the boards. I don't have any nurse friends who work in OB off the top of my head. A lot of the info I saw...
