Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program - Winter 2013

U.S.A. Tennessee

Published

I just mailed off my packet to Vanderbilt today! I'm so nervous and really hoping to get an interview for this program. Adult Critical Care is my first choice. I graduated in May 2012 with my BSN from Washington State University. I thought it would be fun to start a thread for people applying for the Winter 2013 program.

Hoping to meet other people who are applying to this program.

Hey Twins32,

Don't worry, you are not alone! I am a December graduate as well. One of my friends graduated nursing school in May and was accepted into the Summer 2012 Nurse Residency Program. She said there are a lot of new grads that get into the program.

Hi!

Had my interview today at 0900 for the Critical Care track. Tracey gives you a ton of info before your interview and is more than happy to answer any questions. 550 people applied and 220 are being interviewed. The interview panel members were really nice. Be ready to explain situations, your role, what the result was, and what you would have done differently. They also ask a couple of questions to get to know you. Hope everyone enjoys their time in Nashville. Good luck to all of you!!:)

Hi all, I am flying out Sunday From Colorado Springs for my interview in the ED pilot track. Out of curiosity I was wondering for those of us that have been fortunate to get an interview, what's everyones previous expierence? I personally just have about three years of GI expierence, thats it, nothing else. So more just curious if others are similar or way more. Also, for those of you that have had your interviews in Nashville, any restaurants or things to check out when your there in your free time? I've never been to Nashville, and my time is very limited since I will be there for a total of a little over 48 hours.

GI experience as an RN?

For this Residency program, you need to be a new-grad RN w/ less than 6-months of RN experience at most.

GI tech not an RN, that's why I am applying for a nurse residency program that has a requirement of less than six months RN. I heard some others that got interviews have had some amazing peds expierences prior as well just not as an RN. That's what I'm curious about

I think previous tech or CNA experience is a HUGE plus in this job market for us new grads! Personally I've worked as a Health Educator and then in breast cancer research... so health-related but not direct patient care. I completed my master's entry program this past June and interviewed at Vanderbilt for Women's Health beginning of October. The wait is killing me!
