Wow I live in the one of the bottom 8 states for APRNs, but I'll be making a salary similar to the top few states for APRNs as a female new grad. I got this position a few months before actually...
From a mass e-mail this morning: "Once again Vanderbilt University School of Nursing has been named among the "Best Graduate Schools" in the country by U.S. News and World Report magazine. We are...
I've actually been off of Facebook for over a year because of a long list of reasons . From acceptance to enrollment, the syllabus for my classes was available 3-4 weeks before the start of classes....
To those of you who will be Direct-Entry (already a BSN), AG-ACNP, and Full-Time (one-year study), we will be classmates in a couple of classes (e.g. Advanced Health Assessment) in the Fall. We will...
To anyone who was rejected, don't give up or lose hope in your goals and dreams! My sister was rejected her first time applying to the program (for pre-specialty). She was devastated, because she...
Good luck to all of you who applied for the Fall 2016 entry at VUSN! I guess finding out about acceptance into the program varies in time frame from year to year. My AG-ACNP cohort got lucky, because...

It's hard to believe that this time last year, I was jumping with joy upon learning about my acceptance into my top choice graduate school-Vanderbilt. I had spent much of 2014 working towards that...
I'm also thankful that my school (Vanderbilt-overall ranked #11 and my specialty AG-ACNP-ranked #5) has a 2 year part-time option. It allows me to continue working in a modified full-time schedule (at...

Commuter, Have you decided whether or not you're going to take the SCRN exam? I passed the SCRN examination yesterday with a 269 (a 200 is required to pass)! It was pretty much a straight forward and...
Yeah, there's pre-specialty non-RN, pre-specialty RN (RN with ASN), and direct-entry (RN with BSN). Basically those who are pre-specialty go through the "pre-specialty" year first, but those who...
For those who like stats and haven't seen this on the VU website yet: VUSN By The Numbers 2014 Master of Science in Nursing Enrollment by Specialty: AG-ACNP- 110 students AG-PCNP- 63 students...
Cdgccrn and sbthomas93, I wouldn't worry too much about your GRE scores as long as the rest of your application looks great! I got accepted into the AG-ACNP program in mid-December with less than...
