Walden online University

[AMShultz]

I am looking to attend an online PMHNP program. Walden University is one that I am looking at. Anyone with experience there or other recommendations?

So you think a preceptor should be paid? How much did you pay? How much do you think you should be paid? Just curious since you tend to mention this often....

I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall with this thread. If a school does not have actual lectures, if a school does not have required time on campus for hands on training, then they are relying on the preceptors to do all of the teaching and training. In that instance, since I am doing what the school should be doing, yes, I should be paid. Other schools that send their students into clinical with a basis from which to start, no, I don't mind precepting for free at all. I take medical students and PA students regularly from multiple schools. And I take NP students from only 1 local school. I am not paid for this. But if schools like Walden want me to precept, then yes, I would need to be compensated for it.

I applied for Walden University in the AGACNP program for June/1/2020

Any feedback about the program from a current student or graduate student from this program regarding the quality of the program and ability to find job after graduation

Thank you
