  1. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2013

    Hi! I am a current psych NP student in this program. In regards to selectivity, the program is quite competitive, but worth a try with applying, considering they truly look at the applicant as a whole package. Psych is one of the only specialties th...
  2. I'd encourage you to remember to take care of yourself, your relationships, and your social life. You'll be stressed, but don't let that affect the people that you love the most. Exercise. Go out for dinner. Take a break!
  3. Wise to purchase an old edition?

    I always buy older versions of textbooks. I have not had any problems. So, yes I would encourage it :)
  4. Any tips about memorizing drugs for Pharm?

    I agree with the post about learning endings of drug names. That will really help you memorize these for the long term, not just for the NCLEX.
  5. What am I doing wrong when studying??

    Try not to memorize word for word powerpoints. If your program is like mine, the questions are more general application questions to the concept. Try to focus on the more broad picture, not the tiny details. Pay attention in class too. The teachers a...
  6. What kind of shoes to wear with white scrubs?

    I agree with puravidaLV. Just make sure they don't have holes in the toes. That's a pretty standard for all nursing shoes.
  7. A language learning project for nurses

    Thank you so much for that information!
  8. My study plan Nclex pn

    My teacher suggested 50 questions per day. This adds up pretty quickly and you can even schedule it on to your daily routine.
  9. BSN to DNP Programs - Anyone done this? Is there a Psych Track?

    Check out Vanderbilt. It is pricey, but a GREAT program.
  10. Online NP Programs

    Vanderbilt has a distance program for FNP. You have to come to the actual campus about three times per semester, but all of the other work is done at your home. You also find a clinical site in your home location.
  11. How long should you be an RN before starting NP school?

    I am currently in a program that is BS/BA to NP. It is two years (including summers). We all have undergrad degrees in something other than nursing. Some people disagree with this expedited path, but I think it is a great option. (Also going back fo...
  12. OK to use older versions of fluids/electrolytes study guides?

    I ALWAYS order the older edition in my textbooks. I have never had a problem with it. I purchased all of my books for my NP program for $85. All of my other friends? $900 +. Newest editions are not worth it!
  13. what was your gpa when you got accepted into nursing?

    3.9 Overall. 4.0 nursing prereqs. Mine is for a NP program in TN though. Quite competitive.
  14. Private college or Community college for nursing school?

    I agree, community college. $22 k is not a good investment, especially if you can take classes at a community college for much less!!
  15. I finally got my letter!!!

    That's awesome!! Good for you :)
