I'm currently finishing up my BSN and was curious if anyone had information on Vandy's program. Does Vanderbilt Medical Center have tuition reimbursement for employed nurses getting their MSN at Vanderbilt? If so, how much? I'd love to do the CNM/FNP...

I'm curious if anyone has information on Vandy's program. Does Vanderbilt Medical Center have tuition reimbursement for employed nurses getting their MSN at Vanderbilt? If so, how much? I'd love to do the CNM/FNP dual focus in the future (I'm current...

It would really depend on who decides to do the last semester during the summer, and who decides to do it in the fall. I imagine there would be people doing both. There are rules about what your grades have to be to take summer nursing courses, too. ...

Ms Whitwell will send you an email telling you where to find the CRN numbers (under "registration status" on mymemphis). You copy those numbers and paste them into the CRN boxes on the page to register for classes. I got mine today! I think Foundatio...

My background check went through last night, so I should be getting my schedule on Monday! So so excited!

Just emailed all of my health data tonight! Hopefully she'll be sending the classes in the next day or two.

I went to Landau and tried on scrubs before I ordered from them. They're a lot bigger than I expected, so I'm glad I tried them on first - I'm a size 4/6 and ended up getting the XS scrub pants and top. I may have to have them hemmed too... I'm 5'4" ...

I had my physical done 2 weeks ago, and I'm still waiting on them to call me to pick up the form I left there - the blood results apparently haven't come back yet. I think I'll call today, because last time it only took a week. I neeeeeeed to know my...

I don't see why your mom thinks she wasted her money... After all, you are IN college, and learning is a great thing, even if your first degree isn't used in quite the same way that a nursing degree would be. You still learn valuable tools and skills...

I did have to reapply. Thankfully it still worked out. :) it's good to see other mamas going through the program, too! I'll bet you could call her and set up a different time - I ended up taking a class that wasn't even on the sheet. She's extremely ...

I took CPR/BLS a year ago after I got my first acceptance packet (long story.. I had a baby and put off ns for a year) from a lady in Southaven. CPR 2 Go, I think? The sheet for her was in the packet that semester. It was an awesome class done in her...

Did you find out if they do titers? That might be cheaper... Or maybe you could call your previous states' health dept for records?

The health dept should have your records, even if the doctors that you've seen your whole life are gone. I'm not sure if they do titers, but since they'd have your records, I don't think there'd really be a reason to. I just chose to get titers done ...

I went! :) The NURS 3005 books are already on efollett. I've found them pretty cheap on Amazon. :)

My daughter will be 10.5 months when I start a BSN program. I'm still trying to sort out school scheduling with her day school and my husband's work, and it's already a little overwhelming, even though there's a ton of support at home. I think I'm st...

Also, we should be graduating in summer '16 - 4 semesters of clinicals, one Summer session of preceptorship. :) (though I think you can choose to wait til fall to do the last semester.)

I second the Facebook page idea! There is the U of M general nursing group (should come up if you list nursing as your major) but it's for students in all classes. It would be great to have a page for our specific group!

Glad I found this thread! :) I got accepted for fall '14 BSN, too! Hooray!

Mhm! I have a 3 week old little girl. She'll be 3 months old when I start the BSN program in January. I'm definitely sad about leaving her at home (my husband is taking off work while I'm in class), and since I'm breastfeeding, I'm going to have to f...

I worked about 25-30 hours per week during prereqs, but I plan on quitting work late August and taking out my max student loans. I would work part time, but I will also have an infant that will need to be taken care of. I'm not single, but my husband...

I'd post this question on one of the general nursing boards rather than one of the student boards. People who have actually become nurses already will probably have a better answer for you. I'm in nursing school now, and I absolutely love it. So yes,...

A&P2 is a little different from A&P1 - I found that making flashcards didn't help as much, because it's very comprehensive and requires understanding body processes rather than memorizing body parts. I didn't take it over the summer, but I di...

I'm almost 23 weeks pregnant, and will be starting nursing school in August. I'm due early October, and am hoping things work out. It's my first baby though, so my husband and I don't have any other kids to take care of. I'm planning on getting a nan...

This is definitely cheating, but last summer, I "transferred" to another school, and was offered grants that would have covered tuition for the year that had just passed. There were 2 options on the application - "transient" (meant for summer-only s...

I'm 23, have been in school for 5 years (feels like forever), and just now got accepted to the BSN program this fall. However, my husband and I are having a baby in October, so I may take next semester off. If I start in January, I'll be 24. I think...
