Hey Buckeyecass08, I am not sure how to message you privately but, I saw you currently lived in Charlottesville and I wanted to get some advice on neighborhoods, etc. I am starting UVA's FNP program next fall and thought I might get some insight fro...

ICU RN: I would maybe email the admissions rep or the Dean for UVA (they are even on here sometimes). They were super helpful with my questions:) They may still be updating applications.... I applied to the Primary Care NP and the Dean was really hel...

Thanks UVA Grad Nursing! I look forward to hearing! Good luck to all :)

Hi everyone, I know this is a blog about the CNL program but I was wondering if anyone knew anyone who had applied to other MSN programs for UVA? Do they also interview well into December? I got an email last week saying that the we would know someth...

Hi all! Has anyone applied for the Masters in Public Health Nursing Leadership/NP program at UVA for Fall 2014? I thought I would start a thread for those applying so we could discuss applications/views/interviews etc. Anyone have any more informat...

Let me know if you have any specific questions. I am more than willing to give more insight into the program and my thoughts. Good luck with your decision!! If you decide on Vandy- see you in July!!

Hey Wisconsin Grad: I have been very pleased with Vandy's nurse residency so far. We are almost off orientation. The experience has been very organized and well thought out. I think being a new nurse can be very overwhelming especially in the ICU so ...

JWPRN, Looks like Vandy won you over!! Im glad to hear, I think between Georgetown and Vandy, you can not really go wrong but Vandy's program is cool because we get to rotate through and see all the units! Congrats!

I am moving January 22/23 (that weekend). I think it will be a fun adventure! I have heard the recommended areas to look for housing are : Hillsboro, Greenhills and Bellevue. I have been looking on craigslist but it seems a bit early to be looking no...

When is everyone thinking about moving?

I took my NCLEX here in Colorado which is also a compact state. I think either way, you will be fine but taking it earlier may help with less stress before you move. I agree, the online ratings seem fake at times and are never positive. I am thinkin...

Congrats BSN Grad!! This is a very exciting new step for us all! Can't wait to meet everyone!

My heart is telling me the same thing! I was so impressed with the entire application/interview process. It was so very professional! Should be a great new adventure for us all. Let me know if you hear of any places you recommend looking into moving...

I have a friend who lives in West nashville and says the same, much safer but a bit pricey. Its closest to vanderbilt. Are you accepting the offer??! I have an interview at Georgetown next week. I am a little worried about the pay scale at Vander...

Bam Bam..I know it is early but have you started looking for places to live? Do you know what areas are best? I have read a few other posts but was wondering if you had any suggestions? So exciting!!!!!

I was accepted into the adult critical care track! So excited! Can't wait to meet everyone

The nerves are definitely starting to kick in! I am hoping we hear back around the same time last years winter cohort did (Nov. 10! Is anyone else having trouble sleeping this week?!?

The wait is tough! If it is anything like last year, we may know something this week. I guess last year they found out around the 10th! Good luck to everyone! :)

I found this website below that helps prepare for the type of behavioral questions that are sometimes asked. (Although perhaps not the strongest or most credible source from the internet...it may help to practice) Its is not as specific but more gen...

ICU geek- Thanks for the heads up. It sounds like your interview although may have been difficult, I am sure went fine! Good luck to you and again, thanks for the insight.

Hi all! Does anyone have any further advice after interviewing? Were the previous questions that were posted helpful? Did you feel prepared going into the interview? Did they mention how many people were being accepted vs. applied? good luck!! The w...

Hi everyone, will anyone be in the area the first week of November? I am planning on staying November 1-3. Any updates on interviews?!?

Hey Duluth- any recommendations of where to stay while in town? Glad you had a good trip! Hope to hear good news soon!

Hi! Has anyone had their interview yet? How did it go? Any recommendations for where to stay in Nashville?
