   Just a heads up: You will not earn a BSN in Vanderbilt's accelerated nursing program. You will earn an RN only. No BSN. If you want a BSN (along with another semester of education to account for this degree) Emory offers it and maybe one or two other...

   Good luck to all those doing the preparation for your application for admission! Don't fret about the GRE too much. Be sure to diversify your skills and portfolio and become an expert without the credential in the area of being a nurse practitioner y...

   Hi tessag12: The letters of reference have to be professional in nature so former bosses/superiors, professors etc will provide testimony to your interest and ability to complete the program and that you show a vested interest in advancing your educa...

   Hi GR: There is a waitlist and anyone can be called for a last minute acceptance for those who may vacate their spots at last moment's notice. Its really hard to say whether you will have a good chance regardless of when you apply because you are mos...

   Got GREAT news this morning! I made it into the RN/CNM/MSN program this morning. I practically shouted with joy! I was on the waitlist. My application was finished February 4th. Proof that it can be done. Don't forget to be passionate during the proc...

   Depending on the degree of competition within the applicant pools, be sure to work on activities that pertain to your intended degree. My GRE score wasn't great in my opinion but because I earned two undergrad and a graduate MPH where I worked on att...

   Hi amFNP2b: I am glad you were able to learn about the wait list situation for your program. I wish they were a little more forthright for all programs with respect to how many are actually on the wait list. I totally understand that there is no rhym...

    Interesting. I don't see it. Just the email to go to the link where the letter is found and when I got back to the status page, it looks all the same including the screen to manage my application. Did you have to create a MyVU account? In doing a lit...

    I received wait list confirmation today. I was told that you can be invited as a student up to the day of orientation. So you can be offered a spot the day orientation starts which is kind of rotten if you're on the other side of the country. One ind...

    What specialty did you apply for and was it pre? I was told today by the CNM director that and in so many words without being this direct that it was highly unlikely this year that if I landed on the wait list that there would be an open spot. Hopefu...

    How did you learn you were on the wait list FNP2b? Was it an email? Letter? Phone call? I applied the CNM program and haven't heard a word. I had a telephone interview so now I am wondering.

    @sbvolver: I suspect you may have a chance it will just depend on what your package/application looks like against the others who are wait listed and where you fall -- which they will never disclose to you. They will let you know if you do make it to...
