This helps so much! I also have a compact RN license, but I had no idea if it would have any use working as an APRN.

I am a new graduate NP who just passed my boards 2 weeks ago. I have been applying to jobs since I graduated about 2 months ago. I had only applied to jobs within my home state (probably close to 75 NP jobs), which got me NOWHERE. Seriously, not even a phone call from one single recruiter. Even as I reached out to all of my healthcare contacts, they said the norm was to look for an NP job for 6-9 months. Anyway, the past 2 days I have expanded my search to nationwide & already have gotten multiple phone calls from recruiters wanting to schedule interviews. My husband & I rent our home, we are child-free, & he's not in love with his job so we are kind of excited to start a new adventure somewhere else. The clinics who are contacting me are probably not in the most desirable cities, but I also don't love my current city. Did anyone have a good experience with moving to start a job? Did you go with your dream job or choose your job based on the city? Are second NP jobs easier to get if I have some NP experience on my resume? & should I apply for the state's APRN license only after I have accepted a position? Did you mention any relocation costs in your negotiations?

I am Pre-Specialty WHNP too! I am 22 and graduated Spring 2015. I am 100% sure I will accept my offer to Vandy. I think it would be fun to live with roommates too! I am so excited!

Just found my email that I was accepted to the Pre-Specialty program for Women's Health!!! So excited I might cry!! Congrats to everyone that has gotten accepted so far!!

Hi! I'm submitting my application tonight but I have a question about the GRE. Do we also have to send our score to Emory from the GRE website before the application can be reviewed?

I'm freaking out about transcripts too! Even though I sent my official transcripts a few weeks ago, it says on my application status that my official transcripts are missing. I'm hoping that's just because I only submitted my application yesterday and they will go in later and verify that they have them. I would be so mad if Vanderbilt somehow didn't receive them and my application viewing got delayed.

LaDiosa_M yes I'm applying with a Bachelor's in Biology. Are you non-nursing as well?

I am so glad I found this thread! I just submitted my application for Women's Health after working on it since September 15 (the day it opened). I am so relieved to have turned in so I can stop stressing. Now I guess I just wait.
