Thanks for the info T-Dasha! Very helpful!

I'm waitlisted for ACNP. Called today 'cause I just couldn't stand it anymore! =) The admissions person I spoke to said that waitlist letters were just getting ready to roll out for this specialty. Since I will be moving with three little bodies,...

scnurse77, I know it doesn't make you feel any better, but it does comfort me to have someone else waiting too! :redbeathe

Still waiting...

Congrats NashTNGuy!!!!! At least we now know that they are / have mailed letters!!!!!

5ofpeep, I applied for ACNP prespecialty... w/out intensivist. I have been tempted to call and just see if letters were mailed yet, but hate to test my luck! =) rtaylr5

Congrats SydneyJo!!!!! =) Still waiting here for ACNP....

Nothing here yet either... applied to ACNP... in Knoxville, TN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody yet from ACNP????

I haven't seen any postings from anyone for the ACNP program... guess we are still all waiting it out!!! EEEEEKKKKKK

Totally loooovvveee the "acceptance letter" mentality!!!!

I will say that I was scanning the website recently... ok STALKING... and the information posted about the MSN / DNP open house for March states something along the lines of pre-specialty programs were expected to be full by March 5th. So.... WON'T...

Got the email too... And DYING to know! It's soooo hard to be patient and not be filled with anxiety about this whole process. Spending time finishing up my Nutrition class, trying to prepare financially, and doing LOTS of praying! =) Hopefully ...

Meredith, Thanks again for all the information! I was actually referred to the Bellevue area, but was told it was closer to 25/30 minutes away (i.e. "outskirts"). Super excited~ now just have to continue to play the waiting game!!! Becca

Mamalex, Rest assured, you are not alone! I also am a single mother of three children, ages 11, 10, and 5. From my understanding, the best schools are in Williams County. I have looked into the Bellevue area myself. I was reccommended this direct...

Meredith~ Thank you for all the helpful info! I do have a couple of questions as well... 1. What would you suggest doing to prepare for the pre-specialty program? Certain courses to review? 2. You mentioned that most people live near campus, but ...

Hello Meredith! I would love to hear details from you about what to expect the first year. Please feel free to email me directly at [email protected] (or anyone else for that matter :) ). Look forward to hearing from you~

Did anyone else apply to the Acute care Program? If so, did you receive an interview invite?

Wait.... Wait... Wait.... I just wanna fast forward through the next 6-8 weeks! =)

Thank you both for the suggestions! =)

For those of you who have applied, what other programs did you apply to? Vanderbilt is my first choice, but I would like to explore some other options for pre-specialty entry. Any suggestions?

I'm not totally sure, but I read somewhere that if you change your mind during the application process you do have to resubmit the interview questions addressed to the new specialty.

Is anyone else applying to the acute care pre-specialty track?

Good Luck pdubya24 and welcome to the thread! Let the waiting game begin for us all!

How long did it take them to process your application prior to receiving the email?

That's great! I wasn't able to attend the open house, but I did meet with admissions this week as I turned in my application. My GPA isn't as high as yours, but I believe that I am still a strong candidate based upon the rest of my application and ...
