Do you live in Louisiana? Louisianagem14? I'm in Monroe area and they told me I would have to go to Ms, AR or TX to do clinicals because no Louisiana clinical sites. How do you like the Walden program? Do you recommend it? I am thinking of applying this summer 2013.

Just saw this . I was accepted into the program a couple of months ago I don't think it's fair to have an increase . My start date is June . Wow .

yes that was a huge increase. so now what do you think. it was an increase for us to. so can you imagine the amount of increases as we continue throughout the program. i am dissapointed in that.

I'm curious about that as well since I'm moving from Indiana to Washington in about 6 weeks. I'm applying to Walden and Frontier. :)

I starting june 3 date, i wanted to do the FNP but was hesitant as far as accredation, do employers hire with a degree from here, I want to practice in texas, can I sit for the texas boards? I will be doing my clinicals out of country since I am military.

Mark-

I really appreciate your honest postings! I have been accepted into both Walden University and Georgetown University's FNP program and now need to make a decision for my September start date. There is a big difference in price, but hopefully not in the education. Had you loked at other online programs before deciding on Walden?

Thank you!

I considered 4 other universities other than Walden. USA, but I heard many bad things about that program. Kaplan University, but the program was very long and expensive. Georgetown, but it is VERY expensive. University of Southern Mississippi, but I would have to wait a full year to start the program, and will graduate from Walden 6 months after I would have started the program. I had some misgiviings about Waldens program being so new, but I have not regretted my decision this far. After talking to several people, I realized that the main thing to consider was accreditation.
