Week 2

Do I have concerns? Yes, I have many when it comes to this program and my decision to further my

education and career. But my biggest ones are time management as a single parent with a fulltime job

and course layout. As a previous IT specialist, the layout

and ease to navigate a course in my opinion can

make or break a student’s experience. Because this is one of my main issues, I choose Walden

University because they use something similar to an integrated approach to online learning. Integrated

learning a

s stated by (Kaufman, 2015) is integrated content was unstructured and adaptable; no

textbook

-

weekly readings provided by instructor; online discussions/team projects with active

facilitation by instructor. While there are weekly readings the format Walden

uses falls under the

integrated approach which I find effective for many students as we are sometimes juggling families and

fulltime jobs. To address any issues that I would have with courses or layout I not only have my

professor but also Walden’s Acade

mic Advising team as well as the technology support. Walden sets us

up for success.

I believe that knowing these concerns and addressing them head on and when the to present an issue

will keep me focused and my network of mentors will be there for me. M

y professional ones when I

need to lean on them for moral support as well as professional and educational support and the

academic ones for school focused issues.

In the process forming my discussion response I found a network of mentors for future Nurse

P

ractitioners through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. While the program is unavailable

right now, I will be looking for when it comes available again. As its goal is to “connects motivated, less

experienced NPs with Fellows who are both le

aders in their field and willing to share their expertise to

promote the career development of others” (AANP, 2020).
