Vanderbilt MSN 2016

Published

I haven't seen a thread yet for 2016 hopefuls, so I thought I'd start one. After much research and changing my mind back and forth, I decided to go for the Vanderbilt MSN. I would be direct entry as I already have my BSN. I finally decided on Pediatric Primary Care. I'm just worried about getting a job after graduation as I'm not really seeing much in the way of openings in the Nashville area--which is where I live.

(@ENP applicants) yeah, cant believe we havent heard anything yet.... im not sure im going to accept if i get in anymore... i might. i got into CRNA school to. didnt really want to do crna, kinda applied last second, and then did alot more research, shadow, etc, and starting to really get drawn in... but vandy was my heart and soul at the beginning... thought id see if i got in, then re-evaluate. if i dont get in to vandy, easy decision. if i do, then i really got to sit down and think, talk to family and make a decision.

I wouldnt base the decision on Vandy vs. other school if I were you. Base it on if you want to be an ENP or a CRNA. Thats what really matters. Good luck deciding!

Is anyone setting up a direct entry FB page?

Do you want to make one? Ill make one if i get in. I called today and she said I should hear by the end of monday.

This might be a good idea but I just wish there was more PNP people here! I think I'm the only PNP-AC person posting!

Thanks!! If you have any insight on how the wait list process works from current students that would be super helpful. Trying to stay positive and patient :)

Some may find this thread and post but it would probably help you to read through last year's thread. Search Vanderbilt 2015 MSN and you'll find all the posts from those who went through this process last year, which will include many who were wait-listed and then got in. Just may help give you some perspective on timing, etc.
