HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM?
Our online nursing programs are offered in full- and part-time formats so the programs can be balanced with your current job or other responsibilities. As such, the time to completion will vary by format and specific program. However, in general, programs can be completed in 2 to 4 years, depending on the program.
CAN I COMPLETE MY CLINICAL HOURS WHILE WORKING FULL-TIME?
With 100% online coursework, our nursing programs are designed for working professionals. While the online coursework remains flexible, it is important to note that to complete your clinical hours, you may need to adjust your work schedule to accommodate your clinical hour requirements.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO DEVOTE TO MY CLINICAL HOURS?
Students should plan to devote a minimum of 20 hours per week to clinical hours. If you plan to work full-time while in the program, your schedule must accommodate these requirements. These courses take place toward the end of the programs, so you’ll have time to figure out what would work best for your situation.
HOW INTERACTIVE IS THIS PROGRAM?
Throughout this program, you will connect with your classmates and faculty through group work, discussion boards and peer feedback sessions to ensure an online program centered around collaboration and interactivity. Instructors also host one-on-one office hour opportunities to help you remain connected with your coursework and engaged with the Walsh community.
In addition to your in-class studies, the clinical portions of these programs allow for hands-on, practical experience. Students receive instruction and interaction within students' own communities, including individual and group supervision. These interactive portions of the program emphasize developing therapeutic relationships, nursing procedures, ethical practice and the application of nursing and mental health theories to various client concerns.
“The other thing that drew me to Walsh was the support staff.”
Not only do I feel like my professors want me to succeed, but so does the support staff at Walsh. My professors are always offering feedback, additional resources and prompt responses to help with my success at Walsh University. The other thing that drew me to Walsh was the support staff that they offered such as a student success coach and a clinical site coordinator. The student success coach, Milana, is always checking in and reminding me that I have extra help if I need it.
