Hello. I attend Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, but am in the Adult/Women's Health Program. I do have friends that are in the FNP/CNM program. I do know that the instructors are very good, as I have taken classes with them. As for the overall FNP/CNM program itself, I do not know what the thoughts are out there about it. You should try to go to an open house. There is usually one in the Fall (October/November) and Spring.

Hi, sorry but I am not allowed to send PMs yet because I have not posted enough. However, this is what I will say from personal experience......someone with a BSN should strongly consider getting their MSN from Vanderbilt. I can share more privately....when I get the chance.

Thanks for letting me know. I"ll be graduating with my BSN in December, but I already know I want to go to grad school. Even though you're not in the program, how has your experience been at Vandy? Do you think that it's worth the cost of education? What made you decide to do their program?

how much time do you have left? I am assuming you are in Nashville? How are job prospects?

I will be finished in December. I do live in Nashville. There are jobs out here, as we have our fair share of hospitals and private practices in Middle Tennessee. I will seriously start applying around October/November.

Hi,

Is there anything you can share publicly in this thread about your experience at Vandy? I'm interested in just the FNP program because it's so short. Has anyone out there actually finished it in 3 semesters? I looked at the curriculum and the first semester has seven classes! How can you do that and work at the same time, or do you? Did any Vanderbilt alum get scholarships to attend?

Thanks!
