NURS 6003Wk9AssignHooymanC/Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Walden University Nurs 6003N-17: Transition to Graduate Study for Nursing

Academic and Professional Success Plan Week 1 | Part 1: My Academic and Professional Network When I enrolled in a graduate program, I wondered what it would be like talking classes entirely online with no in-person sessions. Having had in-person courses for all of my previous college experience, I knew this would be different and take some adjusting to. During my graduate programs research, I discovered a study involving graduate students and what they felt was important as academic support during their online classes. This study found that essential supports were interactions with other colleges in their courses and with the instructors through the class discussion boards. [ CITATION Mil15 l 1033 ] I also think that having other supports will be just as important, so I will review who my main supports will be while I am in my graduate program and why they will be necessary. NETWORK MEMBER 1 Name: Michael Parkes Title: Student Success Advisor Organization: Walden University Academic or Professional: Academic Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse: My Student Success Advisor will be significant support during my graduate program. They begin this journey with us from the start and want to help us; however, we need to be successful during our trip. Upon reviewing the Walden University website, our Student Success Advisors are our advocates and help with anything we may need during our programs. [ CITATION Wal202 l 1033 ] My Student Success Advisor continues to check in with me at ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS PLAN 3 least weekly to see how I am doing and answer any questions that I may have. He will be precious support for me as I progress through my graduate program, and I look forward to having his help during this process. Notes: Student Success Advisors are available via phone and email to reach out to them whenever needed if a question or concern arises and can't figure it out. If they cannot assist with the problem or situation, they can help by pointing us in the right direction to contact for assistance.
