1. 2017 Nursing Salaries by State, Degree, and License - Highest & Lowest

   SweetINFJ replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Wow I live in the one of the bottom 8 states for APRNs, but I'll be making a salary similar to the top few states for APRNs as a female new grad. I got this position a few months before actually graduating. I definitely feel blessed!

2. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   SweetINFJ replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   From a mass e-mail this morning: "Once again Vanderbilt University School of Nursing has been named among the "Best Graduate Schools" in the country by U.S. News and World Report magazine. We are delighted to report that the School of Nursing Doct...

3. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   SweetINFJ replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   I've actually been off of Facebook for over a year because of a long list of reasons . From acceptance to enrollment, the syllabus for my classes was available 3-4 weeks before the start of classes. The list of books for the semester was available ar...

4. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   SweetINFJ replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   To those of you who will be Direct-Entry (already a BSN), AG-ACNP, and Full-Time (one-year study), we will be classmates in a couple of classes (e.g. Advanced Health Assessment) in the Fall. We will also graduate together in August 2017, because I'm ...

5. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   SweetINFJ replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   To anyone who was rejected, don't give up or lose hope in your goals and dreams! My sister was rejected her first time applying to the program (for pre-specialty). She was devastated, because she really wanted to go to Vandy and become a Nurse Practi...

6. Vanderbilt MSN 2016

   SweetINFJ replied to Lovetennessee's topic in School Programs

   Good luck to all of you who applied for the Fall 2016 entry at VUSN! I guess finding out about acceptance into the program varies in time frame from year to year. My AG-ACNP cohort got lucky, because we learned about our acceptance in mid-December of...

7. Vanderbilt: First Semester of Grad School

   SweetINFJ replied to SweetINFJ's topic in NP Students

   I had basically told myself that it's impossible to memorize every single detail (especially if it's insignificant), and I read "with purpose." After reading the assigned chapters and handouts for the week, I studied and reviewed what I felt was impo...

8. Vanderbilt: First Semester of Grad School

   SweetINFJ posted a topic in NP Students

   It's hard to believe that this time last year, I was jumping with joy upon learning about my acceptance into my top choice graduate school-Vanderbilt. I had spent much of 2014 working towards that goal. Fast forward a year later, and I've completed m...

9. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

   SweetINFJ replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in NP Students

   I'm also thankful that my school (Vanderbilt-overall ranked #11 and my specialty AG-ACNP-ranked #5) has a 2 year part-time option. It allows me to continue working in a modified full-time schedule (at a nationally ranked Level 1 Trauma Center) and ke...

10. How many schools did you apply to?

    SweetINFJ replied to NurseIndependa's topic in NP Students

    I applied to only one school. I had my heart and soul set on attending Vanderbilt (for my ACNP), and I lucky got admitted and started the program this fall!

11. Stroke-Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) Certification

    SweetINFJ replied to TheCommuter's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thanks, Commuter! I'm now 1 of 4 nurses on my unit to have this certification.`` On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say the test was about a 5 for me (in comparison to about a 7 for the CCRN). I have been working in a Neuro ICU for the past 4 years, so a...

12. Stroke-Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) Certification

    SweetINFJ replied to TheCommuter's topic in Rehabilitation

    Commuter, Have you decided whether or not you're going to take the SCRN exam? I passed the SCRN examination yesterday with a 269 (a 200 is required to pass)! It was pretty much a straight forward and knowledge based exam.

13. Vanderbilt MSN 2015

    SweetINFJ replied to BHART25's topic in School Programs

    Yeah, there's pre-specialty non-RN, pre-specialty RN (RN with ASN), and direct-entry (RN with BSN). Basically those who are pre-specialty go through the "pre-specialty" year first, but those who already have a BSN go right into their "specialty" year...

    SweetINFJ replied to BHART25's topic in School Programs

    Cdgccrn and sbthomas93, I wouldn't worry too much about your GRE scores as long as the rest of your application looks great! I got accepted into the AG-ACNP program in mid-December with less than stellar GRE scores. I only had a 40th percentile Quant...
