2. Trauma NP????

   LBH32C replied to JoeyDog's topic in NP

   I shadow a NP at a level one trauma unit. They respond to all Level Ones as well as oversee pt care of each individual in the Trauma Unit. It is always very exciting seeing as that you NEVER know what will come through the ED doors. My advice is t...

3. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

   LBH32C replied to brownrice's topic in NP

   K, Vandy's Fin Aid dept was very helpful. I had never taken loans out before. I was in your shoes too when I had to take out loans. I was scared that I wouldn't know how to do it. But trust me, they want you to pay the money to go there, so they ...

4. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

   LBH32C replied to brownrice's topic in NP

   Well personally, I am taking out many many loans. But I figure that it will pay off in the long run when I am making great money as a NP and doing something I love. Student loans have a very low interest rate and you don't have to start paying the...

8. direct entry MSN

   LBH32C replied to darby249's topic in NP

   Vandy is not taking applications for the fall anymore though. You get your RN the first year and your MSN the 2nd but for some reason they still consider it master's right away...

9. direct entry MSN

   LBH32C replied to darby249's topic in NP

   Yes, Vanderbilt is only 2 years and we are considered Grad Students right away. I am taking out Federal Stafford Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) and what they call a Grad PLUS loan. That is the major bulk of my loan, I think it is like 32K. An...

10. direct entry MSN

    LBH32C replied to darby249's topic in NP

    I am doing the direct entry MSN program at Vanderbilt in the fall of this year. Yes, it is so expensive, but I think it will be worth it in the long run... it saves a LOT of time. I think Vandy is about 85k all together for 2 years (then you include...

13. Anyone CCRN?

    LBH32C replied to shirleyTX's topic in SRNA

    Thanks so much... I want to work in critical care but don't really know much at this point so that helps a lot. Thank you for the info, I am sure the website will be very beneficial to me as well. I am a pre-nursing student and don't know a whole l...

14. Marriage and Nursing school ?

    LBH32C replied to whatmaters's topic in Male Students

    This is all very very helpful. Thank you so much. I may change my mind after all and go ahead and dive in and get married while in school (like on a break or something) since people have heard of success stories. I was beginning to wonder if there...
