Hi All! I am planning on taking the GRE this December and hopefully applying to Vanderbilts FNP program in a year or two. I'd like to get an idea of what my target score should be for this exam. Does anyone know what a "satisfactory GRE" score is for Vandy? Under #3 on their website it just says "satisfactory". link here>>> Admissions Requirements | MSN Admissions | Vanderbilt University School of Nursing I'd appreciate any insight or scores of students that were accepted into the FNP program. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, staying behind is not an option for me. We were separated my last semester of nursing school and we are happier, healthier, and better as a family. And I won't lie that I am super excited about living in Singapore. It's a once in a lifetime experience that I cannot pass up. Thanks again for the advice. I will look into some of the specialties mentioned above to see if they are willing to hire me for a short time.

Thanks for your quick response and advice! Staying behind is not an option for me. We have a four year old son and I don't want him to be separated from either of his parents for 6 months. Again I appreciate the advice.

I need help! Any suggestions appreciated! I just graduated with my BSN in Dec 2013 and moved to Indianapolis, IN in Jan 2014. My husband's job requires us to move frequently and I will be living in Singapore from July 2014 to Dec 2014 and then moving back to the US. I have tried calling the nursing recruiters in the Indianapolis area and NO ONE wants to hire a new grad for 6 months! (I don't really blame them) Also, the Singapore nursing laws are super strict and there is no way I could work overseas. This inevitably means that I will not be able to work the whole first year out of nursing school!! Am i screwed??? Basically, I need to figure out THE BEST way to spend my time this next year. I worked very hard for my nursing degree and I plan on using it. I have started volunteering with the Red Cross with their Disaster Action Teams. Does this count as RN experience?? I would appreciate ANY advice including volunteer organizations that need RNs or encouraging stories of old new grads that landed a job. Thank you! Ashley
