Vanderbilt University CRNA Program - April 2026 start

Published

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!

Does anyone know if the school said anything about if we would be eligible for scholarships if we get in? They mentioned that subtly on their website.

Following thread! I applied, wishing us all good luck!

good luck everyone.

Good luck to us all 🙏🏽

Anyone know when exactly the school said to reach out to us? November? December?

I couldn't tell from the website info when exactly we should hear back but I thought I remember him saying the interviews would be sometime around the holidays.. So hopefully soon. Has anyone heard differently?

I found a FAQ email a few weeks ago from the program director. It says they are expecting to send out interview invitations in "Mid-December"

Following. Good luck everyone!
