I gave a 2/5 because I was successful in completing a masters degree with Walden. The Nursing Field Experience Office shows little to no regard to helping students successfully onboard preceptors and medical practices in a timely manner. The process is convoluted and communication is sparse regarding the process and whether or not you are on the way to being successfully reviewed or not. Even now when I'm one class away from completing my certificate, I cannot say that I am better prepared or more certain of this onboarding process. Once I am done with this coursework, I AM DONE. For future educational endeavors I will absolutely go to another organization.

There are better options. Believe in yourself enough to fill out actual applications to schools with real standards. This is a degree mill and they don't care if you make it or fail- they want your money. Only reason I'm finishing, or planning on, at Walden U is because it's the path of least resistance. Have to schedule with your academic advisor, even for a 5-minute phone call, orientation was just a whirlwind of videos... navigating their canvas is nothing remotely close to intuitive. The program needs improvement and so, while they figure that out, save your money and find a more reputable school. $45k+ is preposterous considering you teach yourself.

Way too expensive for very little support.

Through out the program my advisor was one of the only people to support me. I had about 3 professors that actually cared about the students. The fact that quizzes. Midterms and finals can not be gone over to see what was marked wrong is insane. There was tines where professor just gave grades to give them . No feed back on improvement. I understand you get what uou put in but the requirements for petty assignments took away valuable time for learning, reading and other things. The fact there is no support in finding preceprship is rediclious. The 300 kit for health assessment was the biggest waste of money ever spent. You can buy that stuff separately on Amazon and save money. The extra added on expenses through the program like ihuman, books and kits was rediclious also. I am so glad to be done and graduated from this program. Walden does not have a good reputation and I had many preceprship tuned down because that was my school. Even my last preceptor said he will never do a student from Waldens again due to lack of expectation and support .
