I shadow a NP at a level one trauma unit. They respond to all Level Ones as well as oversee pt care of each individual in the Trauma Unit. It is always very exciting seeing as that you NEVER know what will come through the ED doors. My advice is t...
K, Vandy's Fin Aid dept was very helpful. I had never taken loans out before. I was in your shoes too when I had to take out loans. I was scared that I wouldn't know how to do it. But trust me, they want you to pay the money to go there, so they ...

I am entering Vanderbilt in the fall as ACNP. There are many departments you could work in as well besides the Emergency Department> Acute Care also covers Trauma, Oncology, Cardiology, Renology, Critical and Intensive Cares to name a few.
Thanks so much... I want to work in critical care but don't really know much at this point so that helps a lot. Thank you for the info, I am sure the website will be very beneficial to me as well. I am a pre-nursing student and don't know a whole l...

This is all very very helpful. Thank you so much. I may change my mind after all and go ahead and dive in and get married while in school (like on a break or something) since people have heard of success stories. I was beginning to wonder if there...
