   I am def accepting the offer. Even though the pay isn't as high as other hospitals, the experience is worth it. They have great benefits and they really seem to invest a lot and care about their employees. And their shift differentials are a lot more...

    BSN-Grad what major cutbacks did you hear about? I figured with the economy that most hospitals are cutting back, but I haven't heard anything about Vanderbilt.
