Vandy NMW/FNP applicant question

Hey, Nate! Although I'm not in the program you're shooting for, I am a Vandy nursing student. Personally, I applied in January and was accepted in March. I have heard some others mention they were accepted in January, but I do not know when they applied. I don't think it would be out of line for you to call Admissions just to make a general inquiry as to when they will make admissions notifications. I do know they admit on a rolling basis; there is not a magical date when all letters are sent out.

I am in my first semester here and I love it. When they tell you it's an "accelerated" program, they ain't just whistlin' Dixie so if you decide to come here be prepared to hit the ground at a full-on sprint.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll help you out if I'm able.

I am looking at Fall app too but in RN-MSN-- mammac5- are you in Nashvile or are working on line?

I am not an RN (yet) so I'm in the on-campus Pre-Specialty year right now. My courses this year are all "live" and then clinicals are held at area hospitals.

The 2nd year of the program can be done full-time here OR (in some specialties) a student can combine online coursework with traveling back to Nashville for "blocks" of live courses which amount to 4-5 days at a time approx. 3 times per semester.

Personally I'm here for year one and then I'll be moving back home to complete year two. My home town is within driving distance so I can come back for the blocks pretty easily; I'll give up my apartment and stay in hotels while I'm here on campus. I know some who live across country and will be flying back for the blocks. There's a lot of choice and flexibility within the program, where that is concerned.
