Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2014

Published

Yeah, I know... I'm waaaay ahead of time :) But I thought there might be some people planning ahead like me. I'm graduating in December and I thought some others might like to discuss what you are doing to help you get in! I have a 3.7, I'm doing a medical mission to Guatamala in May, attending the NSNA annual convention, and hopefully working at a special needs day camp over the summer. I know I need some volunteer hours, so I'm hoping to fit them in at the end of the summer and during next semester, and praying its enough. Anyone else? [Pediatrics BTW]

I am in a graduate program and I'm a Vanderbilt employee. Here is Vanderbilt's website that talks about non-nursing degrees to MSN in nursing: Pre-Specialty Entry | Master of Science in Nursing | Vanderbilt University School of Nursing.

I have a question for you: I am currently a Vanderbilt employee myself, but I work on the academic side. Why is it so hard for the ones who already work for the system to get an interview from the medical side? I have been applying for care partner postions with no response. I thought vandy hires internally first?

I have no idea, I wouldn't have guessed that. I'm guessing your job is harder to replace than a care partner? Transfer on the medical side seem to be easy to do. I just transferred myself.

Hi, I just graduated with a BSN. I wanted to know if any one who got accepted to Vanderbilt is willing share their experience so far ? I am going to apply for the Summer of 2015. Any pointers that any one is willing to share ?

Best,
