I'm in for ACNP Pre-Specialty. I currently live in Nashville so no move for me. Has anyone considered a Facebook group for us so we can share information there too?

hey everyone. i'm in the pediatric primary care program (or just got accepted to it, i should say). i moved to nashville in january 2010 to live with my boyfriend of 5 years who is a vanderbilt medical school student. we currently live together in a great place that is within walking distance to campus, but we're keeping our options open for next year. sadly, he'll be gone from august 2011-may 2012 doing a MPH program at Harvard, and will then come back for his 4th year. so, if anyone else is in the pediatrics program and is looking for a roommate for a year until we are forced to leave TN to do our specialty year, let me know! one bedrooms are super expensive, and i would love to stay in a 2 bedroom... i just can't handle that rent all alone. i am a pro at researching apartments, condos, houses. and if there are a group of people interested, there is this GORGEOUS house thats close to campus currently available for rent.

for married folk out there (since my bf and i are practically married at this point), i know a lot of great neighborhoods/housing options, since we have several married friends in medical school. can't wait to meet everyone!!!!!

It is really expensive! I do have a car, but I am looking into living close to campus for convenience. I'm wondering how much further my money will go a few more miles away. I would love to have a place with some character. I'm planning to go look around in either May or June. Let's all keep each other posted as we figure out housing!

mandi.h- VERY far, actually. seriously, its amazing how having to hop in your car for a 5 minute drive makes the cost soooooo much less than if it were within walking distance. and at that distance away, its still bikeable. where are you thinking??

@mandi.h. there are a few areas you should avoid, since it backs up almost like clockwork each day at certain times. let me know where you were looking into and i can steer you away from those areas with traffic.

Hi everyone - I'm accepted into the FNP/NMW program and am moving to Nashville with my husband. I'd love to hear more about housing options in Nashville - especially the neighborhoods that we should start looking in (and the ones to avoid). Looking forward to meeting you all!

hi everyone,

my name is michele and i was accepted for the WHNP specialty! :) i was wondering if anyone knew if vanderbilt does a preview day/visit day for accepted students? i was hoping to take a closer look at the school and faculty before i make my decision to go there. i know they have a MSN/DNP open house coming up on sat, march 5th: http://www.nursing.vanderbilt.edu/openhouse/index.html but is that intended for perspective students only? is anyone else going to this?

thanks and congrats to all of us! :)

@nikki164 thanks so much for the feedback. I'm just starting to look into apartments now. I was trying not to get ahead of myself while waiting for a decision letter from the University. I'll probably start doing some more serious research in early March, but I'll definitely need and appreciate some advice during the process! Do you think I'll have an easier time with traffic if I stay on the West side of Nashville? Thanks again!

I just talked to admissions about their open house, and they said that its definitely appropriate for admitted students to go. I'm booking my flight as we speak!
