Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

I was selected too! I am so excited to even get to go meet with them! Congratulations to those of you who have also been selected! Good Luck!

I hope to meet all of you there!!

Hello everybody! I too applied for the residency program that will begin January 25th 2010. I received my e-mail yesterday that I have been selected for an interview and I can't wait to travel up to Tennessee...for at least one day of cooler weather, lol. I'm excited, nervious, and pumped up to see the panel. I didn't think I would even be looked at because I live out of state, but I guess for them it doesn't matter where you live..it's about you as a person. Which I think is great for all future nurses across the nation.

I wish everyone of you the best of luck in your nursing career, you busted your ass for a reason to get this far remember, so try striving for it. I hope to see some of you up there for are interviews.

I wanted to reply back to SJonesRN. My GPA for my BSN was a 3.0 and my overall GPA is a 3.3 or 3.4. I know talking to Tracey they have what's called a point system and you have to have so many points from you applicantion to get an interview and then the interview is a point system as well and then they meet and discuss who they want. GPA is only one factor...but I'm sure it's not a terminate factor, cause I got selected for an interview.

I hope you get one

Good luck to all of you!!!!!!!!! I was selected for an interview as well and I am so excited. SJones RN my GPA is only 3.27 so obviously it looks as if they are not just selecting people that have really high GPAs. It is a combination of GPA, references, letter of intent etc..... Hope that helped. YAY

nurse901 - Yay for your interview at Vanderbilt, which track are you going for?

Did everyone else get selected for the adult track or pedi?

GPA 3.6

I got selected for a ped track interview, but I was wondering if we could interview for more then one track (like are second choice). My e-mail title was directed to just peds, so I signed up for that one but didn't know if I was suppose to gives dates for my second choice? Does anyone know anything about that?
