1. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for the info! I was searching for "direct entry nurse practitioner programs" and not finding much, so maybe using those specific search terms was the problem. Do you know if there is some kind of master list of direct-entry NP programs somewhe...

2. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   Does anyone know of any other direct-entry NP programs that are similar to Vanderbilt's, where students with non-nursing bachelor's degrees are able to become NPs after 2-3 years of coursework/clinicals?

3. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for the clarification. Do you know if all of Vanderbilt's Acute Care specialty tracks require students to stay in TN during the specialty year?

4. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for the words of encouragement! Maybe I'll just give it a shot and see what happens. :-) BTW, can anyone clarify whether the specialty portion of the AGAC-NP track can be completed in a student's home community? Or do they have to stay in Nash...

5. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm confused -- I thought Vanderbilt's website states that there actually isn't a deadline?

6. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   I know that Vanderbilt's program technically doesn't have an application deadline, but realistically speaking, would there be any hope for me if I applied now? I would be applying for the AGAC-NP specialty track, so I'm not sure how competitive that ...

7. CRNA Schools No Experience Required

   HenryH replied to utahskiier's topic in SRNA

   I understand that all CRNA programs require a year of critical care experience, but didn't you state earlier in the thread that there was one that granted acceptance to applicants without it, on the condition that they have to have obtained it by the...

8. CRNA Schools No Experience Required

   HenryH replied to utahskiier's topic in SRNA

   Sorry to bump an old thread, but do you know what the name of the school is?

9. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

   HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

   Actually, I don't have a BSN (I have a BS degree in a non-nursing field). Do you know if the AG-ACNP track tends to be just as competitive as the FNP track?

10. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    HenryH replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm definitely going to be a latecomer to this year's application cycle (I haven't even applied yet!). Is it even worth it to apply at this point? I'm primarily interested in pursuing the Adult-Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AG-ACNP) t...

11. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in SRNA

    Congratulations on getting accepted to your top choice! Can I ask what your GPA and GRE scores were, and how much ICU experience you had? Also, just out of curiosity, why did you decide to change course from your original goal of going to medical sch...

12. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in SRNA

    It's good to hear that most schools didn't require you to re-take your courses. Yeah, I also took Statistics as part of my Biology degree, but it was catalogued as something like MATH1123. So hopefully most CRNA programs won't require an upper-level...

13. New grad ICU RN - advice about CRNA ?

    HenryH replied to tigerita's topic in SRNA

    Could you name some of these programs? Thanks...

14. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in SRNA

    Thanks. Wow... if most programs have 5-7 year expiration dates, then I'm going to have no choice but to essentially re-take every pre-requisite science class that I took for my biology degree. The only exception would be biochemistry, which I took du...

15. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    HenryH posted a topic in SRNA

    I am interested in becoming a CRNA and still have a year to go before I graduate from my undergraduate nursing program. I was previously awarded a science degree in 2010, and my course requirements for that degree included general chemistry 1 & 2...
