Hello everyone!

As I'm sure everyone knows, Vanderbilt is projected to open applications in August for the new DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program. I wanted to start this discussion thread for those thinking about applying, so we can discuss updates or any advice for first time CRNA school applicants such as myself. Best of luck to you all!

Hey! Thanks for starting this. Just started working on my applications and I'm already stressed out...

Of course! I'm definitely stressed as well 😅 Are you applying to any other schools in Tennessee?

The new Vanderbilt program will be participating in our Scavenger Hunt at NTI this year-- they will have a booth! If anyone is going, it'll be a great time to chat with program faculty. Cheering you all on!
