  1. Walden University--any advice?

    75495RN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am looking at Walden University as a means of earning my MSN with the goal of AGNP. Everything I see on their site looks encouraging (of course!). I'd love to hear from any current students or...

  2. Walden University--any advice?

    75495RN replied to 75495RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Remember--and I'm not saying this is the case, necessarily--any school with an online program makes their money by having large numbers of students. Admissions advisers are basically sales people....

  3. Walden University--any advice?

    75495RN replied to 75495RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, Adventure780--good question! I'd make two phone calls, one to Walden and one to Connecticut's state board of nursing. Between the two of them, you'll get the straight story. You can also...

  4. Direct Entry Programs (Pre-Speciality)

    75495RN replied to Wendilee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm adding this after the fact: if I am wrong, I offer my apology. But this is the best I know.... OK, now to my reply post... I see no one has posted a reply (I just hate it when that happens), so...

  5. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wonder if you were licensed in MA if you could've gone there for clinicals? I hate that you weren't able to do what you wanted to do, but the idea of a post MSN certificate might be just what you...

  6. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am a current student. I appreciate all this detail! I started in spring semester but, like you, sensed they admitted everyone. About half my class of 20 or so were illiterate--they could not...

  7. Maryville University Fall 2014

    75495RN replied to Gin820's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You got my attention and even though I was accepted at Maryville, I'm looking at Troy. The cost difference alone (assuming it won't take me an extra year or something like that) is reason enough....

  8. Maryville University Fall 2014

    75495RN replied to Gin820's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You'll be assigned to a class, and within that class, assigned to your group team for a particular course. Likely the first one will be Evidence Based Practice. I loved that course! I did not...

  9. Books for Advanced Pathophysiology

    75495RN replied to Bryantfan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Google the name of your school and the name of the course and the word "syllabus." You should come up with syllabi for the course at your school for each professor who teaches it. If you know who's...

  10. NNP Program advice needed

    75495RN replied to c3bakers's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And so, like, where did you go and would you recommend

  11. cheap FNP program with no required GPA

    75495RN replied to anje's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you have a good explanation for why your GPA is low, you may be able to get accepted anyway. I had some very stupid (no offense to present company) classmates at Maryville, which is why I...

  12. cheap FNP program with no required GPA

    75495RN replied to anje's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And at $90,000+, quite expensive. So is it's sloppy seconds school,

  13. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    75495RN replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't think it is about pay. I think it is about scope of practice, if you were to compare NP's and PA's. My personal thought is that it is turfy and has more to do with physicians and their sense...

  14. Maryville University or Walden University for FNP

    75495RN replied to Nismo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For ninety grand, you better be able to practice in all

  15. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I heard from my adviser there that this class is pretty big, and they were working on acceptance decisions last week. The DNP requirement is for people who start school after it is in effect, January...

  16. Maryville University or Walden University for FNP

    75495RN replied to Nismo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If costs are a factor, one should consider that while other schools (UTA for example, and, I think, Maryville) have pathophysiology at 3 hours, Walden (a for profit school) has the course as a 5 hour...

  17. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate Students

    danashawn, I'm really glad to see your post. I've applyed for re-entry. I'm not too worried about work, I think if it's easy, there's not a lot of point (jmho). Have you taken pathophysiology yet?...

  18. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

    75495RN replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I started at Maryville in February. I had completed almost four semesters at Baylor (brick-and-mortar traditional, and a little whacky in some ways, but OK if you were in the inner circle). My...
