   Some may disagree with me, but I don't think an objective section is really necessary. Just highlight as much as you can all the experiences and accomplishments you've had... and of course your education.

   It's in Adult Med... Yeah it's a bummer we all couldn't know where we are on the list. My plan was to just keep checking my e-mail 100x/day until January. I'm hoping for all of you to get a spot.

   just to chime in on this discussion--- i think because vandy tries to be fair in their selection process, they do a point system for everything from beginning to end. when you first apply, you'll notice a sheet that asks for things like "clubs and le...

   To those who got in, I was wondering if you can let us know wait listers your deadline for accepting the offer. Thanks for the info!

   Same here.. wait list. :no::no:Not even sure what the odds are of getting off that... The letter said they're keeping the wait list open until January but I'm not sure if I want to gamble on waiting if other opportunities open up. At this point, I ju...

   Anyone else out there obsessively checking e-mails this week? From reading last year's posts, it seems like everyone heard this week. Hopefully we all get good news.

   Wow! I know we're not allowed to post names here... can you send me a private message if you can and let me know who your UD is. I kinda wanna see if I should stop hoping to hear back completely. Thanks!

    Zippy7 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee

    Hi BennyRNCA, I applied to Vandy's Winter 2012 program. When I went to the interview, they told me that starting is $18.25, but the shift differential can bump you up to about $24 or $25-- depends on whether you're nights or weekends. It does sound s...

    Zippy7 replied to krx100's topic in California

    Nothing specific was said, other than they're keeping the job open for all of November. From reading the previous UCLA new grad thread, it kinda seems like they called other candidates even from the "reserve" pool and interviewed them. I think it's a...

    Zippy7 replied to krx100's topic in California

    I interview for SM's ICU... Yes, it definitely depends on who you're interviewing with. Sounds like MrNurse2011 had an interviewer that was not as disinterested like I thought mine was. I also had a pretty technical clinical question thrown at me (fo...

    Hi nurseman78... thanks for posting your stories and for all the valuable feedback. I myself am a Vandy hopeful. I interviewed for Winter 2012 and I'm just waiting now. Hopefully I get good news. So out of curiosity, did Vandy ask you for a 2 year co...

    Hi jenyblond007, There are only 2 questions like MrNurse said, but I am not sure about posting it just for fairness. But don't worry, they're fairly simple--- just try and get there a bit earlier (20 minutes before) to write them. I wish you luck for...

    Zippy7 replied to krx100's topic in California

    You're so lucky to know the status so soon! Quick question--- do you know by any chance how to e-mail the interviewers? I feel like my interviewer was so keen at trying to get me out of there so quickly that I didn't get a chance to ask for her busin...
