  4. Vanderbilt MSN 2019

    vandydani replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I honestly don't think you need to attend the open house at the beginning of March as a prospective student. It looks like an informational session for potential applicants and they just threw in a...

    vandydani replied to monseolmos's topic in Nursing Career

    vandydani replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I relayed to my PCP that I had a positive TST test and negative CXR in nursing school and asked if I should start treatment. The only reason I didn't start in school was because I would not be there...
