Walden's MSN in Nursing, June 2012

Published

Anyone looking to start this program June 25? Looking to find others, maybe form an online study/support group.

Yes!!!! I am torn between just going for it and doing the MSN program or obtaining a BSN first???? Any thoughts? I am planning on going the leadership and management route...and would LOVE someone to reach out too.

So who else will be starting with me on Monday? Just took a look at the syllabuses (syllabi?) for my two classes. Getting a little nervous and hoping I can handle it all!

I heard that they are not board approved in their state. This means no board of nursing approval no licensure.

Walden's masters program has been CCNE accredited since 2006 and is accredited through 2020. They do not offer an initial degree, meaning that one must be licensed as a registered nurse to complete their BSN completion program or any of their masters programs.

Also, as of this posting you have 5 posts all saying this exact same thing, making me wonder if you have a personal issue with this school. Also, you can't believe everything you hear.

Which one has more scope? Education or Informatics? I am already started doing Education. Wondering if I should switch to Informatics.

Prash, Did you switch to Nursing Informatics?

I'm seriously considering the Nursing Informatics route and would like your input.

So far so good. However, the program was just completely revamped for the September start, so if you just started or haven't started yet, my classes are not the same as the ones you're looking at. I have no 5 week classes. My introductory class was 4 weeks and all other classes are 8 weeks. Pretty intense, especially the first semester's first 4 weeks where I was taking two classes at the same time. Finding this semester much more manageable.
