Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program Summer 2013 - Page 12

Yea I can't believe how expensive it is to fly! I almost feel like with gas money it would be expensive to drive to so may be worth it to fly, let me know when your planning to go.. I'm thinking March 12 for my Spring break, it would be nice to have someone to explore with!

DAS225- I have a 3.9 Nursing GPA, participated in a nurse externship this summer in NY in the pediatric ER, volunteer at a local children's hospital, volunteered in a children's hospital while studying abroad, am an active member NSNA, and in addition to my pediatric clinical rotation I am currently in the PICU for my senior preceptorship. I hope this helps!

I'm planning to go either March 5th for my spring break or March 19th! I was originally planning on the 12th too, but that week of school is my first week of preceptorship.

For those of you that are interviewing, have you received a confirmation for your interview time yet? or how does that work? I sent in the times I could come, but I have not received an email back confirming which day and time..

bamagirl91 - I haven't received a confirmation email yet either and I replied on Thursday!

let me know if anyone is going to be there for their interview on the 12th

My interview is set for March 19th at 2! Anyone else that day?

Mine is set for March 11th at 8am. I'm ready for the 12 hour roadtrip!

Skype (in my opinion) doesn't hurt your chances if you do it properly. Make sure you're totally alone and uninterruptable. I would also make sure the computer you're using has a hardline (ethernet) to your modem or router, don't use wireless.

Also, test-run it several times with some friends to make sure you're connected well, your microphone works well and you can hear them well.

As long as the computer and skype is working fine, and there isn't a single distraction or interruption they can interview you just like they would in person.

Hello everyone!
I am from California and applied to the Peds. track. I am super nervous for the sykpe interview!
Congrats to everyone who got an interview! I am doing mine March 19th at 2.

@snfairfax: what track are you? i am just wondering since we are scheduled at the same time. they don't do group interviews do they?

Catie812- I'm peds track too!! that is odd we're at the same time, but I'm doing mine in person? Maybe they have a separate group of people that do the Skype interviews? That's so odd!
