   hgrindle replied to babyboys's topic in Advanced

   I would actually question any program who accepts nurses with zero experience...And I find it hilarious that after you were called out by SEVERAL people because of your no experience, and are not in any program, that you took that gem of information ...

   hgrindle replied to RNmom6's topic in Advanced

   Don't believe the garbage on here posted by people who know nothing about Walden...especially those who aren't in ANY program...Walden is online! There is no teacher to sit and teach you...just like ANY online program at ANY school. Yes there is a l...

   futurestcoastNP, what NP program are you in?? OH that's right...you have only been a NURSE for a year...I noticed you took that little bit of information out of your profile! Don't worry about applying at Walden, they wouldn't take you.

   If you already have your BSN it is 2 classes every 12 weeks, off a week and back at it. Clinicals are one class at a time unless you petition to take two. If you do that you have to explain in the petition how you plan on being able to do 2 at a tim...

5. Can you get into NP school with BS in emergency health services

   hgrindle replied to medic turning rn's topic in Advanced

   FutureeastcoastNP, you seem to know so much about NP school, how many have you gone to? I'm guessing NONE since you have only been a nurse for ONE year! While I'm sure we are all entertained by your "knowledge", it looks like I am at least 2 schools...

   hgrindle replied to vincentrn's topic in Advanced

   Vincentrn, Is the brick and mortar program online or will you actually go to class? If it is online, I can tell you FROM EXPERIENCE that the online programs are all VERY VERY similar. If they are both online, go with the cheaper because you pretty ...

   I have had several people tell me that Leik's book was dead on with the test...There is a new version out too that has mistakes corrected.

    I am in Walden's FNP program. I will finish in May. Its good, very similar to my local program I was in, but walden requires slightly more work...especially when you get into the clinical portion. Don't listen to the people who say bad things about...
