This is not correct----Vanderbilt sets up all clinical placements and preceptorships for its students. I asked this in my interview, and it was confirmed to me by the two faculty with whom I spoke. They allow you say in where you'd like to be place...

I was also accepted to UPenn, Vandy and a couple other schools for PMHNP. I am pre-specialty (non BSN), and I am choosing Vanderbilt for a number of reasons: First and foremost---it's 2 years and I'm DONE. This is huge for me, because I'm ready to ...

I will also be attending in the fall '16---PMHNP specialty here

I was under the impression that, for those with a BA in a non-nursing field, we are NOT eligible to partake in the distance-learning format. I thought we took classes on campus for the full 2 years. Am I wrong in thinking this?

For those pre-specialty (non-RN) applicants who've been admitted, does your acceptance letter mention anything about the pre-specialty year, or does it just state: "Your 2016 Fall application to the MSN degree in the [specialty] of Vanderbilt Univers...

My name is in the beginning of the alphabet

I was accepted for pre-specialty PMHNP, but there was no mention of a financial aid award in my letter (despite the line saying "if you indicated you'd like to be considered for aid, that award will be enclosed). I'm assuming that means I received n...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Emory seems to have every NP specialty except for Psych (PMHNP)? I can't make it to the admitted students weekend on the 6th, but wanted to ask someone in admissions this. If anyone has any intel, that would b...

So from what I understand, everyone who applies to the specialties that conduct interviews gets an interview? Is that correct? It seems that everyone interviews, so that getting an interview is not any indication as to whether or not one has a grea...

Thanks---I'm not sure how impressive my application is, but thanks for the insight! :) I find it odd that they release decisions/interviews piecemeal and not all a once, but who am I to say........

Has everyone that applied for PMHNP received communication back regarding an interview? I also applied in the first batch (received that e-mail saying so), but have heard nothing yet....not even a rejection letter. Is that odd?? Good luck everyone...

Hi Lyndsmar, I was accepted to the ABSN+MSN program, and my OPUS also says "BSN summer 2016" in the little box. I think this may be what it says for everyone? Also, there has been no update on my OPUS whatsoever, and I remember reading somewhere on...

Thanks for the update! I wonder if only the rejected applicants were sent a paper correspondence, and those chosen to interview received an email? That would make sense, and that is what USM and some of the other schools I applied to did...... Very...

What email did you get from admissions? Was it sent to all applicants? I didn't receive anything. Thanks!

Hi Jena.1001----when did you hear back from Vanderbilt regarding the PMHNP interview? Are you direct-entry/pre-specialty? and congrats!!

Thanks! I was thinking that myself, but I know that there are summer semesters involved, too (for all 3 years, I believe?), and this is only for fall and spring. If it were $60k x 3, then it would be about $180k for the total program---but I'm thin...

Does anyone know the entire cost of the ABSN+MSN program? I can't seem to find a concrete number of the TOTAL cost of all 3 years of walking away as, say, an FNP. Help! :)

I've already been admitted someplace else, so I wouldn't be going to this school anyway.....but if I hadn't already been accepted elsewhere, I would, yes.

I received this same E-mail just now. I'd say it's safe to assume that anyone (of the people who applied for Psych NP) who received that E-mail will likely NOT be admitted to the NP program. It wouldn't make sense for them to potentially discourage...

I got it too----I'm sure it is sent out to everyone----they probably haven't even done more than a cursory review of applicants at this stage

Hi KayKay210, did your acceptance explicitly state that you were accepted into the FNP specialty? Mine only said "congrats you've been accepted to the accelerated BSN+MSN...."

No, my OPUS hasn't been updated, so it doesn't say anything under my admissions decision. I just heard yesterday

Hi---you have until March 1 to make the deposit. When you click on "accept offer of admissions" it will take you to a page that gives the deadline. Did it say the specialty to which you were accepted on your letter? It did not for mine, so just wo...

Wow, that's so bizarre to me, that they place such a premium on the GRE, and that they actually require one to retake it to fit within some presumably stats-driven formula. I had always gotten the impression that, in nursing, the GRE was more of a p...

Oh, nice! I'm applying for PMHNP
