Vanderbilt for MSN?

Published

Anyone go to any of their programs for grad school - NP? Was it worth the cost to you or would a state school have sufficed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I will look for you all at student orientation :)

I have been a RN for ten yrs and an LPN for two. I have my BSN.

I am in the full-time bsn-msn FAMILY Psych Mental Health N/P.

I applied to several programs (most much cheaper) heck local (im distance from New Hampshire) but decided on Vanderbilt because: I was interviewed by one of the most important people within Vanderbilt University itself and for her role in Psychiatry and Nursing. When we talked, she really listed to me, my idea's, my thoughts, and she judged me as a candidate for admission because of my genuine desire to help people and used her instincts to guide her in the process, rather than just a test reading 1200 on the GRE. She gave me a great opportunity. The program is intense, but in 12 months I will graduate...Not to forget the fact that this program ranks 9 (PMH) in the country. Excellent staff with diverse education backgrounds. Cost, is high, but maybe I will get lucky and get into something like HRSA post-grad.

There are SO many opportunities for PMHNP and you will have NO problem finding a great job...you can pretty much write your own ticket, from what I'm hearing from the psych people in our cohort.
