Several people have "warned" me about an extreme lack of clinical experience and heavy focus on theory in Vanderbilts' MSN program. (FNP and ACNP) I have actually had one guy tell me to "run" to another program. In fact, noone has spoken highly of the hands-on skill set that Vandy provides.
Can anyone speak to this? (Either from the Bridge or Direct Enty viewpoint) Vanderbilt is quite pricey and I had assumed that one would graduate from such a program "well prepared" to begin a career as an advanced practice nurse.
Please do not flame as I am asking an honest question without prejudice.
Thanks,
