I've spoken to a couple of individuals who earned their MSN degree at Vandy, and both of them felt well prepared. I think most people like the idea of being able to complete the program in two years, but I guess it depends on your personality and how...

It's two years total. Three semesters in the pre-specialty year, and three semesters in the specialty year.

hewoods, a lot of what was talked about during the open house was geared toward those who haven't applied yet, but I have to say that I was impressed by the faculty as well as the student panel.

Thanks, hewoods! I know of two others who were accepted for ACNP, but I'm not sure how or when they were notified. I'll definitely pass along any info I get, and in the meantime I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the both of you!

wgrussell and hewoods, I got my acceptance letter for ACNP by mail last Tuesday. Hopefully, you guys will get some good news soon! It would be great to have you both as classmates!! Are either of you going to the open house?

Thanks! Best of luck to everyone, I definitely have my fingers crossed for all of you guys!!

I just got my acceptance letter in the mail!

I think so. I would definitely like to check out the campus, and meet with current students as well as the program director. Is Vanderbilt your first choice, or are you considering other schools?

Congrats, tadams22! I also applied to Vanderbilt's pre-specialty acute care track. I have been trying my best to wait for my letter to arrive tomorrow, but with everyone else finding out....I really want to call haha. Are you planning on going to the...

Congratulations to everyone who got in!! Hopefully we'll all hear something soon!

I applied for acute care, and I didn't get the email either! Have any other ACNP applicants heard anything?

Hannah, I think you should be able to find the info you're looking for here: MSN and Doctoral Open House | Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Hope this helps!

Congratulations, Sarah and Hannah!! KoKe, I also received the financial aid packet. I can't remember exactly when it arrived, but it was postmarked on 01/30.

Hi, hewoods! It's nice to hear from another ACNP applicant. Did you apply to other schools or just Vandy? I'm definitely getting nervous too, but I can't wait for March! And congrats on the interview, jb! I'm sure the rest of you will be scheduling i...

I think ACNP pre-specialty students are required to complete both years in Nashville. That's definitely not a bad thing though...I love Nashville! Hopefully the distance learning option will work out for you though. Is Vanderbilt your first choice?

Thanks for the info, hi616! Which specialty are you applying for?

It's starting to look like it, isn't it? haha. There were tons of posts made by pre-specialty applicants in the 2011 and 2012 threads. I guess more applicants will show up as it gets closer to March. Good luck with all of your applications, Sarah! I...

Sarah, I received the email on December 11th as well. I am really hoping that we might be notified at the end of February! Do you think they will send acceptance/rejection notifications through mail or email? From what I've read, I believe they have ...

Hi Sarah! I'm also a pre-specialty applicant, but I chose to pursue the ACNP track. I can't wait to hear something back from Vanderbilt! Have you already received notification that your application has gone on to faculty review? I was notified a week...

Thanks, jenny and kms! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. Maybe they just sent out a mass email when they started evaluating the applications.

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, and just submitted my application for the pre-specialty acnp program a week ago. I was wondering if everyone else had received an email stating that their application is currently being processed by an admissions c...
