Both lecture styles. It’ll be a mix, which in my opinion is really nice!

Sure thing! Although, it's not easy for me to list our schedule because it changes a few times in the first semester. The first couple weeks of Vandy are structured differently before you dive into your regular schedule. You do start your regular cla...

No problem. As of right now, it's the same format as the fall with lectures online and clinicals in-person. I was told to start looking for housing quickly, but this year was also a unique situation with covid! I ended up signing for a place in ...

Current Vandy student here. I can only speak for the fall semester of the PreSpecialty year. We had lectures online on Monday and Tuesday. On either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday you have your clinical day in the hospital and another day is at V...

Hey ya'll. I'm a current PreSpecialty student. I remember how many concerns and questions I had during the application process last year, so I'm happy to be a resource if you have questions! Saw the post above about cost. For 2020-2021, the...

Good luck everyone! I gave up my interview spot, as I was accepted at Vanderbilt early last week. Hopefully it opens up a spot for another qualified applicant.

PreSpeciality allows students with a non-nursing bachelor’s degree to enter the program.

Congrats to those who were accepted! I was accepted into the FNP program. I'm so excited to meet everyone! I made a facebook group called "Vanderbilt PreSpecialty 2020 Entry." ? You can search for the group by its name. Another option is through the ...

I applied for FNP. Vanderbilt is the last school I'm waiting to hear back from to make a decision. Anyone else in that situation?

Wow, congrats on completing the interview. Dylan, how did you feel the interview went? Did they ask any questions that took you by surprise?

I just called the school to confirm the date VU releases decisions. The person who answered the phone said "We'll start releasing decisions during the 3rd week of February." I wonder if decisions will be spread out over the week or if we'll all get a...

To those that are interviewing and live out-of-state, do you think the quality of your interview will be affected by choosing to do it over the phone? I've always thought that meeting in-person is best and allows you to connect more with your intervi...

Just got an interview invite for FNP! Looks like we have the option to interview on 2/1, 2/8 or 2/22

Just got their financial aid email. It was such a tease to my brain! When I saw the subject line, I thought they released their decisions early. Only 3 more weeks of waiting.

I'm not quite sure. I reread the email and was thinking the same thing about the timelines being similar. The follow-up email said "You may have received a message intended for applicants to our graduate nursing program in error. Please disregard thi...

Apparently, this email was an error. They just sent a follow-up email clarifying that. I should've known that by the fact that it didn't state "APNI!"

Just received this information from Oz's email: "SU College of Nursing will begin sending DNP interview invitations to qualified applicants very soon. The invitations won’t be sent all at the one time. They will be sent gradually over the next few w...

I'm in the same situation. I have non-nursing Bachelor's degree and was interested in becoming an FNP. Here are the accelerated programs that I applied to that I suggest looking into: 1) Emory University (Accelerated BSN + MSN). You can also switch t...

I think calling or emailing Susan would be a great idea. Like others, I have not heard anything either. I can relate to your deposit situation! I'm getting nervous that schools won't release their decisions in a timely manner when deposits for school...

I'm confident that won't be the case. There seems to be a lot of qualified individuals within this thread, and I'm sure we'll hear from new applicants as February approaches. Stay positive, folks! Interview invitations shouldn't be too far away.

Let's try to be optimistic for all candidates ?

Does anyone know the start date of the PreSpecialty program? Based on last year's forum, it looks like decisions went out in late February. However, it looks like Vanderbilt's original intention was to send decisions out in early to mid-February. I'm...

Thanks for the update! Now we get to play the painful waiting game. Is WesternU everyone's top choice?

I sent mine in for the FNP track. Now we play the lovely waiting game! I wonder how many applicants there were this year.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm registered for an upcoming session, but it helps to hear this now. Good luck to you as well.
