I am applying to the nurse residency program winter 2012 at Vanderbilt. Is anybody else applying??
Hello everyone! I am new to allnurses, have looked at it a few times but never posted until now. I am so excited to join this discussion as I interviewed for the Pediatric Track on October 4th. While intense, the two ladies I interviewed with were very nice and I felt calm the whole time. It was also very nice to be able to meet Tracey! I have just accepted a position at a local hospital, but am really hoping for a spot in this residency!! It would be life-changing. Not sure how my interview went overall, but I am hopeful. I just moved from WA state, so we'll see what happens! Good luck to everyone! Hope to be working with many of you in the future :)
Hey everyone!!
Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. It's great to see that everyone is doing well. I had my interview last week. It was a great experience and I enjoyed touring Vanderbilt. It's a beautiful campus. I'm just hoping and praying for a spot. It truly would be a dream come true for me.
I have ~3.5 GPA, cumulative. I did do some shadowing/volunteer work while in nursing school, which was a bit tough considering I did a 1 year Accelerated BSN program. I have a previous degree in Cell Bio & actually worked in biotech for 10 years before going into nursing school. I was an NSNA member while in school. Hope that helps.
To those who were lucky enough to get interviews..Do you mind sharing what your GPA was like when you applied? And did you have health care experience or volunteer work? Extra-curricular activities/organizations (like NSNA, etc.)?
Also, do they want your degree GPA or cumulative?
TIA!
