You’ll get an email if you are in/waitlisted/ or didn’t get in.

I got my acceptance letter last year on February 22 and I had until March 15th to put down the deposit.

Pre-specialty = enter the program as a non nurse direct entry= Enter the program already a nurse Both result in an MSN

Hi! I am from a non-nursing background and was accepted last year with 3 pre-reqs in process.

Hi Kevin, I’m afraid I might not be that helpful on these topics. I never planned on going part time so I don’t know what the rules are for the specialty year. I also don’t know any pre-specialty students that are doing their specialty year part time...

If you are a pre specialty MTN student they find your preceptors for you. If you are out of MTN you need to find your own but the placement office will do their best to help you. There are certain specialities that have to be MTN (psych is the only o...

Hmm this is completely the opposite of my experience. Every time I call they pick up and my emails are answered relatively quickly. I’ve talked to current students and they said some things are slow...like being notified of your clinical placements. ...

Thanks! Is it sort of luck of the draw on when you have community health clinical versus hospital clinical and conference?

Thanks for the info! Do you know if the schedule has changed since your pre-specialty year? On the website, it says we have 1 day off between Wed-Friday? Do you know if the lectures are recorded and/or if we are allowed to record lectures?

I got a few messages that my link doesn't work. Here is an updated one: https://directentrynp.home.blog/2019/04/19/its-been-a-minute/

Whoops! I used the wrong link. I know about 0 things about blogs (but plenty about these programs :)) This link should work. https://directentrynp.home.blog/2019/04/19/its-been-a-minute/

You’re welcome!

For anyone looking for advice on applying for the next cohort I started a blog with tips, tricks, resources...and my personal experience with this process. I plan on updating it while I'm in the program, but let's see how much time I have :). Good lu...

I started a blog that has a lot of advice, tips, and tricks on applying. I applied to 6 schools, got into 5 (MGH is one, but i'm not attending) and waitlisted at one (Yale). So there is some good advie in there: https://wordpress.com/stats/day/direct...

Congrats! What specialty? Admitted students have a Facebook page that is pretty active: Vanderbilt MSN 2019 Entry

Vanderbilt MSN 2019 Entry <--- name of the group. YAY CNMs!!

At the open house they mentioned that if there is a spot open you can work with the program director for that specialty to see about getting in. I heard one example of this happening. I *think* you can only add a specialty if it is already part of th...

Hi all - I just gave up my WHNP/Adul Gero spot. I hope they'll pull someone off the waitlist soon!

Good luck! I know that MGH takes a holistic view of the application so all parts count. I would sign up to volunteer regularly and use MAGOOSH to study for your GRE. It is more expensive than a GRE book, I think at $159 for a years access to their ap...

I am pre-specialty and know we aren’t supposed to work. I’m going to the info session on Saturday I’ll let you know if I hear anything about working while doing distance direct entry.

I haven’t heard anything about the interview. Frankly I don’t love their communication. It’s odd to me that some people get interviews and offers or waitlisted while others haven’t heard a thing? I applied to 7 programs, got into 5, waitlisted at 1 a...

I’m in for WHNP/Adult Gero. No scholarship info, I also emailed about it. I most likely will give up my spot if I don’t get any money. I’m deciding between this program and Vandy’s midwifery program. I got a scholarship from them.

March 2nd - if you go on their website you can sign up and get all of the details.

So luckily I’ll be down in Nashville for work as of Monday (it’s like it was meant to be!!). Is anyone else planning on going to the open house? I’d love to meet up with other accepted students.
