Vanderbilt MSN 2019

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi! I'm starting a thread for Fall 2019. Anyone else applying/re-applying too? Please comment!

Hey guys! Did any of you apply pre-specialty FNP? I haven’t seen many (if any on the thread). I’m graduating in May with degrees in Microbiology and Genetics. I’m just curious what everyone else’s background was like! Something to pass the time waiting for a decision ?

I applied pre-specialty for midwifery and FNP! I graduated in 2014 with a degree in biology. Worked in a neuroscience research lab for the last 4 years and towards the end was part time while completing my prerequisite courses. Really hoping for good news from this week. It sounds like the decisions for dual degree will be made separately for each specialty. So the acceptance could be CNM/FNP, CNM, or FNP. or.. neither haha

I applied pre-specialty FNP! I graduated in May 2018 with a degree in nutrition and am finishing my masters in nutrition this May and getting my RD. I also hadn't noticed many/any of us on this thread, but this is the first time I'm posting so maybe they're just quiet. We have a pretty boring wait since we don't do interviews or anything, I'm excited for a potential decision this week!

The next five days of my life are going to be terrible. This is way worse than waiting for my Nclex results ?

Does anyone know anything about the full scholarships? Are they letting us know about them with our admission decision?

Hey everyone, I'm an FNP applicant anxiously waiting for the decision! I graduated in 2013 with a Bio and Spanish double-major and since then I spent time doing bench and clinical research, global public health work, and patient care as a patient tech.

Anyone here anticipating having to choose between this program and UPenn's Accelerated BSN/MSN program? I got into the Penn program, and I'm anticipating having to make this decision. I would love to bounce thoughts/insights off of others who are as well. Both are excellent schools, with the main differences that matter to me being cost and length. Vanderbilt is only 2 years long and way cheaper than Penn. But Penn's super strong on global health which I'm interested in and obviously has awesome networks/opportunities that come with being an Ivy. Anyone else thinking about this?

Not UPENN, but Columbia. I was accepted to the MDE/DNP PMHNP program at Columbia and if I get into Vanderbilt will have to make the decision between the two. I also really like Columbia’s global health emphasis and the ability to do a 6 week nursing rotation abroad. I’ve been health coaching for the past few years and have worked with people all over the world and travelled pretty extensively through South East Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and Central America. I’d love to be able to get involved somewhat in global health in the future. But it’s almost double the price of Vanderbilt!

It’s double the length! A great program but not sure I’d want to pay for it if I have cheaper DE options.
