   There are hundreds and hundreds of applicants for every residency program. It's just a crap shoot. There really ARE other places to work and to learn as much or even more than Vanderbilt.

5. Vanderbilt Interenships

   rnrae replied to emasella's topic in Tennessee

   Vanderbilt offers no sign-on bonuses, no help for student loans. Their pay isn't great cause "It's Vanderbilt" and you should be honored that they let you work there.

13. norton healthcare, louisville

    rnrae replied to daysleeper1's topic in Travel

    I am currently at Baptist East and love it. I will probably extend my contract for an additional 13 weeks. The hospital is expanding and they're going for Magnet Status. I just wish it was closer to home and I'd work there as a regular employee.
