Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2013

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

Hey everyone!

This thread is for all of those out there who are planning on applying to one of Vanderbilt's MSN programs for Fall 2013. I'm starting to get my application packet together. I haven't started my interview survey questions and goal statement yet but I need to get on it. I need to take the GRE still though. Has anyone taken that? What did you get? Did you study? Harder than you thought?

Let's help each other get into their program!

Specializes in L&D.

I would love to hear more about the NMW/FNP dual track once you all get started. I just graduated with my Associate RN and will start soon as a L&D nurse and work on my BSN(I also have a BA in Sociology and worked for child protection for 5 years as well as TONS of volunteer work with foster children). Just have to take the GRE. I'm most interested in hearing more about direct entry, costs, and what sort of schedule you have.

I recently was informed via postal mail that I was accepted into the women's health/adult gerontological program. I must admit that my "stats" were not stellar at all; compared to most of you I look like a novice on paper. However, from colleagues/clients I've worked with in the past that have graduated from the program VU really weighs ALOT on the essays. I truly believe that my essays were my strong point as I literally dedicated two months for them.

Specializes in Hospitalist.

Congrats, Justin. Very cool and welcome to nursing.

Congratulations to everyone on being accepted to Vanderbilt!! What an accomplishment!:up:

JLGCSCS- Although this thread is titled Grad Entry, I see there have been some pre-specialty students on here as well...so just to clarify, are you a pre-specialty or direct entry student? When did you apply?

Pre-specialty. I applied in March, I believe.

PRE-SPECIALTY WAISTLISTERS- Has anyone heard anything? I applied for Adult-Gerontology Primary Care and got waitlisted. Does anyone have any details about the waitlist?
