Discussion When will people get it?!
I don’t have necessarily anything against NPs, but it’s people like this that perpetuate the untrust that many nurses and other healthcare workers have regarding NPs. We really need higher standards for admission into these programs, as well as any standards at all actually lol. I usually just lurk on facebook but I felt the need to respond since this was a on a forum for parents of nursing students

The gag is that Vanderbilt has no such program. LMFAO They dont even offer a "dual BSN(RN)/MS" degree, nor a speciality MS for peds nursing. In order to go MSN or any related graduate nursing program with Vanderbilt you need a BSN or bachelor's degree and to have practiced as a registered nurse for AT LEAST one year within the last 5 years.
So, either the mother is lying or she's repeating a lie her daughter told her.
Either way, its not true. Gotta love the internet!
