I am curious and would like to know how your unit makes their nursing schedule. I believe that the way my floor does things is incredibly inefficient... once a month on schedule day, the nurse that is in charge of the schedule calls each individual nurse throughout the day to pick a schedule. The list is divided into 6 groups and the groups rotate each month. I just hate to have to wait around all day for someone to call me to make my schedule. And, if I just worked night shift, I want to sleep and not be bothered! We do have a lot of staff but there has to be a better way. How do you do yours?

Unfortunately it seems that pay is horrible all around Nashville...

and their starting pay???

Hello! Is there anyone who currently works at Vanderbilt that could give me some insight into their benefits? Specifically, I have heard that they are changing their tuition reimbursement. What are the requirements for this benefit?? I'd also like to know about retirement stuff. Thank you!!

Wow thats great Zippy7! I am very hopeful to get off the wait list. Which track were you selected for??

I ended up getting waitlisted for adult critical care.. ugh.. I don't know what to think

I'm waiting too-- I thought they were gonna send all the emails at the same time! I'm so nervous!! Good luck to you guys on the waiting list...

well, they did ask for both nursing and cumulative GPA so i think you might have a good chance! good luck!! :)

I had a 4.0 cumulative GPA in my BSN program. I had a nurse internship last summer and assisted on a research project in school. I am a member of sigma theta tau and was really involved in my sorority. hope this helps :)

anyone have their interview yet?? mine is tomorrow and i'm nervous!

Yeah, it would be so amazing to be at Vanderbilt.. I want this so bad! I am afraid for the questions they are going to ask though. I am interviewing for adult critical care. I have no idea how many people they are interviewing/accepting but if she tells you then let me know!! It seems as though they got 364 applications from the email that some people got, which is less than I expected I guess. So who knows!

Awesome!! What track are you applying?? Sorry to hear about Colorado. They came to my campus to interview people but I didn't end up going through with the application because it sounded sooo competitive, haha.

my interview is on oct 21 :)

I'm confused? So they had 643 or 364 applicants? What a strange email!

I just got an email about scheduling an interview for adult critical care. Good luck to everyone!!! :)
