1. Becoming an FNP after graduating as an AGNP?

   GoldenRetriever posted a topic in NP

   I am looking into applying to direct-entry NP programs, but the school of my choice currently only has unfilled slots in their AGNP track, and no slots remaining in their FNP track. I have read that AGNPs are facing much harder of a time finding jobs...

2. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   GoldenRetriever replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I'm interested in applying to Vanderbilt's Pre-Specialty MSN program for non-nurses. I realize it's really, really late in the admissions cycle at this point, but is there any hope of getting acc...

   GoldenRetriever replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School Programs

   Thanks for the info; that's definitely a relief! Just to be sure, our orientation is tomorrow (Monday), right? The only reason I ask is because while Ms. Harris's email states that it is tomorrow, the letter they mailed states that it's on Tuesday. I...

   Has everyone already paid their tuition/fees for this semester? I checked Columbus Tech's website for the tuition/fee payment deadline, and apparently that deadline was Jan. 8th... and I haven't paid anything yet! Has everyone else already paid? I ne...

   Has anyone taken the health assessment form to a doctor's office to have it filled-out yet? How about the vaccination records? I noticed that in the letter, it's mentioned that these 2 items need to be completed by Jan. 16th (I.e., next Friday).

   GoldenRetriever replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School Programs

   That's what's confusing -- if you read the letter they mailed everyone via "snail-mail," they actually mention something about having the drug screen and a few other things taken care of by a certain date (Jan. 16th, I believe). BTW, when you emailed...

   Thanks. Do you know if we also need to order the navy blue scrub bottoms and white top from Meridys, or can we just buy those pieces from anywhere? Also, do you know how we should go about doing the drug screen? My acceptance letter didn't include ...

   Does anyone know if we need to wear our uniforms on the first day of class? If not, do you know when the first day we need to wear them is?

9. Online direct-entry NP programs?

   GoldenRetriever replied to GoldenRetriever's topic in Post Graduate

   No problem, your comment was quite helpful! So would you recommend against Vanderbilt's program? I'm just trying to figure out if I should do an ADN program and then an NP program later on, or directly pursue becoming an NP via a program like Vanderb...

10. Online direct-entry NP programs?

    GoldenRetriever posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Hey everyone. I was just wondering if you guys knew of any direct-entry NP programs that offer partially-online curricula (e.g., online didactic courses combined with "real-life" clinical courses). The only direct-entry program I'm familiar with that...

    GoldenRetriever replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School Programs

    Thanks; your GPA looks great, I wish mine was that high! I actually took all the pre-requisite courses at other colleges, so I'm hoping everything ends up transferring in. I guess that now, we wait for December to roll around...

    GoldenRetriever replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School Programs

    Hey ThePRINCE, that's good to hear that others are currently taking pre-requisites as well. My GPA is currently a 3.6 but will hopefully be a 3.8 after this semester. I made just shy of 150 on the NLN and earned a 99 on both the Reading & Writing...

    GoldenRetriever replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School Programs

    So, since packets were due to be turned in earlier today, I guess the waiting game begins! Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back regarding acceptance/rejection decisions? Also, for those of you who are currently taking or re-taking a p...
