    Mark Hill BSN replied to kenyohunt1's topic in School, College Programs

    Mark Hill BSN replied to RNmom6's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just passed the AANP cert. examination 10 day after finishing Walden's program and passed it easily. I did not take a review course. Walden prepared me well! Hard to argue with

  6. Walden University - MSN in Nursing Education Practicum

    Mark Hill BSN replied to Rose_Queen's topic in School, College Programs

    I had NO problem finding preceptors, but that has not been the case for many. I had my preceptors set up months in advance but they require you to have all info in by the beginning of the previous...

    Why am I wasting my time trying to convert bigots....I have much better things to

  9. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What are you talking

  10. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I you will read the post, I never claimed to be able to comment generally on the preparation of NPs....I simply stated that I am in a better position to comment on the preparation of NPs at WALDEN...

  11. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Juan, Bigot - a person who is obstinately, and intolerably devoted to his own opinions or prejudices, especially with regard to people of a group...Marriam-Webster. You "opinion" of Walden, as I have...

  12. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I never once tried to speak for practicing NPs (look back at the conversation)....and YOU continue to make NO sense, as

  13. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Now we re arguing the semantics of "preparation"....Really? I simply said that I was in a far better place to comment on the preparation of NPs at "Walden University" than Juan was. Is that really...

  14. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's great you have a lucrative job offer and I am sure prospective students will be happy to hear that. You are fortunate to live in an area of the country where emphasis is not placed on a piece of...

  15. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What does the word preparation mean.....I can speak to the preparation of NPs at "Walden" to a much greater extent than Juan can I assure you. I know that the "preparation" to practice as an NP has...

  16. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately Juan, your comments about Walden have had an accumulative effect on me, and I suspect others. You have spent a significant amount of effort in the past trying to disparage Walden in...

  17. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have not spoken to the "preparation" of NPs, I have simply defended my school against all comers. Juan is certainly not in a position t speak to the preparation of NPs at Walden University, that I...

  18. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would really depend on the interview, and work resume of the prospective employee. I am not in a position to hire, nor have I ever been, so your analogy is really wasted on me. Most of the NPs...

  19. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If what you say here is in fact true, then why do you act like an academic bigot. Bigotry in any form I wrong. To stand in judgment of another school just because it is a "for profit university"...

  20. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will give you, and people like you a break when you stop making assumptive, generalized statements about schools that you have no real knowledge about. Believe me, I have no problem understanding...

  21. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Because Walden is CCNE accredited, you will be eligible to sit for ANCC or AANP certification once you graduate from their program. In California, graduates of NP programs not approved by the BRN are...

  22. Hate being an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There will be many ups and downs as a nurse, and you will feel like crap after experiences like this for sure. This may not be the best place for you to work, but the next place may not be very good...

  23. Does it matter the specialty of nursing your in prior to applying for FNP programs?

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

    I agree that just having experience in ICU could limit your understanding of children and women's health issues, but overall it is very good experience. A stent in ER might be a good idea prior to...

  24. Hate being an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can honestly say after 23 years in nursing, I have never had a "great" job. I will soon graduated NP school myself, and frankly I expect it to be more of the same old crap. I don't think bettering...

  25. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that the role of the family nurse practitioner is very broad, but I still believe that the more experience, and diverse experiences the nurse has can only help to enhance the clinical...
