Polly Peptide BSN, MSN, RN, APRN

It depends on whether they had enough quality applicants to fill their class who applied by the deadline. If they did, you may still hear from them and be wait-listed. Essentially, it is my understanding that they review in the first round everyon...

? I didn't know anyone was double the price of Vanderbilt!!

Hmm. I applied to the FNP track, MSN only. I applied a little late in the process, but only after I received an email from them saying it wasn't too late and to please finish my application. I got everything in in December. I got an email invitin...

I can't confirm that it's $7,000, but if I recall, it is awarded upon admission. Either that or closely on the heels of admission.

You do not have to apply separately. It's a basic amount they give due to the general cost of the school.

Maybe they are thinking of the old ANP certification when saying this stuff? Honestly...I have to say I don't totally understand the thinking behind the consensus model decision to keep the FNP cert when they added in the new population-specific cert...

I applied to their MSN. Wonder when they make decisions?

Interviewing "to augment a mostly-made decision" seems sensible. I would expect they choose to interview those people who look like good candidates on paper, simply to ensure that they sound relatable and answer some questions they don't ask in the ...

It's my understanding that only CNM and PMHNP do interviews. In previous years it was the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb. So I am guessing 2/15 or 2/22.

I am interested in Palliative Care. What is your actual certification? FNP? Adult? Acute Care?

Exactly my thoughts.

I could use some advice. I am coming up on my last semester of an ABSN program. This is my second career and I am in nursing after *thinking* I wanted to do this most of my life. My intention has been to eventually continue my education and likely ...

I could be wrong, but from what you're saying, it doesn't sound like that path (BSN, then MSN) would be very efficient. If you already have your RN with an associates (I'm assuming) AND you have your Bachelors in another area, you could just skip the...

Thank you. I changed my user name recently (as my previous one was a bit too close to my real name) and then I realized the website wouldn't let me change my name again within a certain amount of time. So I am waiting (correct me if I'm wrong). Yes...

Just off the top of my head, I am pretty sure Frontier offers an associates/RN to MSN. Also, Vanderbilt offers a path for associates/RN to MSN AND bachelors in another field to MSN. But the latter is longer and would put you through an additional y...

Just to make sure I'm answering the right question - are you currently a nurse or no?

Just a thought, because I don't know what is required (or if there are even "rules" around this since you own your own clinic), but... Could you represent your hours as, say, 8:00 to 11:30, closed for lunch 11:30 to 1:00, then 1:30 to 4:30. Make no ...

I know this thread hasn't had much activity lately, but I was wondering if anyone could comment on whether they've been hired for a day shift, and if so, what area? I am considering applying to Vandy's residency next summer, and I know days are har...

Many residency contracts require two years as a FT nurse within their hospital (or network of hospitals); but they do not require you to stay within the same unit the entire time. Most will allow a transfer within a certain amount of time (I've hear...

I personally think it would be helpful if people would add what general area of the country they live in, if the OP agrees. It gives weight/relevance to salary info.

Can anyone with experience with Vanderbilt clarify their clinical placement process? I believe they have always secured clinical sites for their students, but I just received some disconcerting information from their admissions office. I was told, ...

Thank you very much. Do you know anything about FNP? Placements within 2 hours don't scare me...I've driven an hour for my BSN clinicals. But it still sounds like they are placing you. So what am I missing? Yes, I would be local. Feel free to PM m...

I'm starting to wonder if this whole 'find your own preceptor' thing is one way of trying to reduce supply. Or maybe it's just happened naturally, I'm not sure. But there are TONS (scientific word) of programs out there and not enough preceptors. ...

I just posted my own question about this bc I got a weird answer from the admissions office in this regard. They also referred me to their website, which was just as vague as their answer. I can hardly believe they wouldn't secure preceptors anymor...

I am currently getting my BSN and considering going straight into an MSN program for my NP. I am an older student and my intention in returning to school all along was to get a graduate level education. However, I plan to get my MSN part-time so I ...
