It is not unheard of but...... MOST medical schools see a BSN or nursing background and are NOT impressed. I have 2 friends that went this route. You are considered a "non-traditional student" (which...
I think perhaps it was more SHOCK, if you started nursing school 2-4 years ago (heck even a 1 year ago) there were so many jobs, hospitals were recruiting, there were sign on bonuses. Everyone heard...

At my hospital they prefer new grads in Critical Care to nurses with only floor experience. This is because they can groom new grads to do things the way they want them done, where as other nurses...
I took ALL my nursing pre-reqs at a community college, a lot online. Then got my BSN at a university. I start at Vandy in the fall. As long as your GPA/GRE are competitive they dont care where/how u...

It was great :) I got my acceptance letter the night before the open house, so I wasn't so nervous. I was very impressed with the professors, they are very approachable. For such a large school, they...
Just a side note. Some programs like VANDY accelerate their masters NP programs. Most of their NP programs are about 43K for the year (and your done). Some state schools are cheaper, but when you add...
I got into Vandys ACNP program I found out on friday which was great because I was already in Nashville for the Vandy open house, which was the next morning. I am very excited, I am moving to...
