Post-Master's Certificate Emergency Nurse Practitioner (FNP/ENP) at Vanderbilt University

Entry requirements

Applies to Vanderbilt School of Nursing master's and post-master's certificate applicants: a master's degree in nursing (MN, MSN, MS in Nursing) and a registered nurse with an unencumbered RN license from an ACEN or CCNE accredited school. Statistics is a prerequisite. A GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is recommended. Three reference letters, official transcripts, a statement of purpose reflecting interest in one specialty and a $75 application fee. Standardized test scores are not required. Each specialty director plans an individualised program of study after a gap analysis of prior coursework and experience. International students needing an F-1 or J-1 visa cannot be admitted because the programs have a significant online component. Non-FNP certified applicants need at least two years of current RN experience, one of them in an emergency department. All applicants must hold current TNCC, ACLS and PALS certifications.
