The only person that I know that has gone through the program at vandy is a WHNP. She got hired on at Vanderbilt working in gyn-oncology. My friends that are RN's in middle TN told me that this is the specialty to go into. So fret not!

thank you so so much!!!

Yes it is for financial aid.

Can someone give me the numbers for credits? I was trying to fill out the form that you guys were discussing but I left my sheet at home. I would greatly appreciate your help!

Well I am not sure if you are distance. I just remember a guy on the student panel last year at the open house changed from mental health to FNP. He said it was extremely nerve-wracking and he strongly advised against doing so. He only changed to FNP because there are more opportunities for loan repayment. He said he risked having to sit out a year. So I imagine he wasn't a distance student.

I've heard it is pretty difficult. You have to basically reapply. Change your goal statement to incorporate the change and why you feel that you want that. You may also have to wait a year if a spot isn't available.

What application? I feel like I missed something. I filled out the FASFA. What else were we supposed to fill out?

Definitely! https://www.facebook.com/groups/245569158864261/ Let me know if it works!

The group is a go! I started it and its called Vanderbilt School of Nursing- Accepted Fall 2012. I think you just request membership to join the group! :)

It won't let me make a group without having friends to have in it.

What should I title the Facebook group? Vanderbilt School of Nursing- Accepted Fall 2012?

Does anyone know if there is an accepted students group yet? I know Duke created one on Facebook and Emory already had one.

I haven't yet. I will though! So there is one spot off the list!!

Completely understandable! I was willing to wait as well. I have been out of undergrad for about 4 years now, and I was jut not wanting to wait. I would have if I had to though. I applied to three schools (Emory/Duke/Vandy). I got waitlisted at Duke and got into the other two. I checked last years message board. You are right that people found out late in March. That was what had me worried! I didn't want to waste 250 dollars on holding a spot at Emory if I didn't need it! I'm sure that you will hear something soon! I think the FNP cohort is around 60 people. And based on how many people have posted on here...it looks like we need quite a few more for the group!

@AnneP85 I just noticed you messaged me, but apparently it won't let me respond. I am new to this site really. I promise that waiting is all it is. I had to force myself to stay busy so I wouldn't even check this website haha. I was freaking out because if I didn't get into Vanderbilt, then I would be moving to Atlanta next month. Something that I definitely was not excited about.
