  1. Pre-Specialty Entry Vanderbilt

    bbcc replied to Wendilee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not all specialties at Vanderbilt give you that option, so be sure you're looking at the right ones! If you absolutely need flexibility in your specialty year, have you considered doing an Accelerated...

  2. PhD in Nursing Programs

    bbcc replied to wtbcrna's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Vanderbilt's program meets 3x a year: Vanderbilt University School of Nursing - PhD in Nursing Program -

  3. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2013

    bbcc replied to LetsChill's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing NMW and my GRE scores are all above 95%. I don't have much medical experience (volunteering for a few months in a NICU) but I do have international volunteer experience and relevant work...

  4. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2013

    bbcc replied to LetsChill's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm starting in August and my undergraduate GPA (without nursing prerequisites) was a 3.38 or so. There are many factors that go into acceptance, including essays, experience, and GRE scores. If you...

  5. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From their website: http://www.nursing.vanderbilt.edu/clinicalplacement/PDF/clinical_placement_process.pdf If you're a local student, you are assigned preceptors/clinicals. If you are a distance...

  6. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    bbcc replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey all - I withdrew my app to UIC after too many hiccups and an acceptance elsewhere, but I currently volunteer at their hospital in the NICU and live in Pilsen, the neighborhood just to the south of...

  7. How did you decide what school to go to for your CNM?

    bbcc replied to phoenixnim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I looked at schools that offered direct entry programs (for people with non-nursing bachelor's) and based my choices on their start date (most start in May, I couldn't do that!) and number of...

  8. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2013

    bbcc replied to LetsChill's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually got an e-mail as well as a letter, for NMW. I think because it was the Wednesday before the open house, they wanted to give us a chance to make arrangements if we hadn't

  9. ABSN/Direct Entry 2014 Applicants

    bbcc replied to misssummer7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From talking with some people in different programs I've run into, I think the BSN "requirement" really depends on your program and your specialty. UIC, for instance, encourages students to do their...

  10. Getting the "feel" of different direct-entry programs?

    bbcc replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's hard for me to tell, since I haven't been to a traditional nursing school! Vanderbilt lets you transition directly from the MSN to the DNP... and I'm not sure you're going to find anywhere that...

  11. Getting the "feel" of different direct-entry programs?

    bbcc replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What specialty are you looking to do? That can change how courses are delivered. I'll be starting at Vanderbilt in the fall for Nurse-Midwifery; my specialty courses will be primarily in person, but...

  12. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For starters, would you rather live in New Haven or Nashville? Seems like an obvious choice to

  13. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    bbcc replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, I definitely don't have any schools listed on the Application Summary page. It just has the Payment listed and the Nursing Supplemental Application listed. I e-mailed them but don't expect to...

  14. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe the pre-specialty program does count as Direct Entry - that's what it's called at almost every other school, but yeah, seems surprising that you have to actually be enrolled, so I guess it...

  15. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    bbcc replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Am I missing where to upload your transcripts? There was no where on the supplemental application, and the Application Summary page does not give me a spot to upload them (the 'help' screenshot shows...

  16. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got an e-mail that said I'd be getting a letter I'm wondering if because it's so close to the Open House they saved a few days in case there were last minute decisions to be made... I'm not going...

  17. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just got an e-mail... I'll be seeing all of you in Nashville!!! NMW

  18. Direct Entry Programs- Does ranking really matter??

    bbcc replied to meep05's topic in Advanced Practice

    When I went to my info session at Vanderbilt, they said they had never had a student unable to graduate because of not being able to find a clinical placement. It seemed like they give you...

  19. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    bbcc replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, I know! I'm not worried about my getting stuff in but I am worried about one of my recommenders. I think last year they extended the deadline, but I might be making that up - in any case, I'll...

  20. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    bbcc replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    How long as it taken everyone to get the supplemental link after submitting the first application? I've been delaying applying, hoping to hear from Vanderbilt first, and now I'm concerned since the...

  21. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Most Vanderbilt specialties are 2 years for the MSN (1 year / 3 semester (including summer) for prespecialty and 1 year / 3 semesters (including summer) for MSN). Nurse-Midwifery is 4 MSN semesters....

  22. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Simmaplease - what's your specialty? The list on the right here: Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) | Vanderbilt School of Nursing shows which specialties are offered distance and not - it looks like...

  23. Direct Entry MSN Programs 2013

    bbcc replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ktbelle - I don't think most programs provide the BSN - the only one I looked at was, I think, Columbia (I'm going for CNM). From talking to people who are currently in a program in Chicago / have...

  24. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nope - I don't think the admissions department has any idea when the faculty will turn them over! I'll likely call back on Friday, right before I submit my other application, in the hopes that I...

  25. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013

    bbcc replied to sarahdukie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They're still reviewing files for NMW, if anyone else is waiting on that! Looks like I'm gonna be submitting a back-up application this Friday... did not want to spend the extra
