Hi! I will be graduating next May from a 4-year BSN program. I'm starting to think about where I want to apply and what area I would like to work in. I am questioning whether or not I should do a nurse residency program or just try to jump into a new...

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 n...

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...

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

Any other new grads applying/heard back from UPMC? I have a bunch of open applications from the past month and a half and have not heard anything yet! I am from the Pittsburgh area but about to graduate from Case Western. I would reallyyy like to wor...

and their starting pay???

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

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 te...

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!!! :)

wow well congrats and thanks for the tip! i will get to nashville one way or another.. lol

I am curious too as to where you were hired, nervouswreck. I have been trying so so hard to get a job in Nashville with absolutely no luck could be that I am from wayy out of state but I don't know...

I am really anxious too now!! I want this so so bad.. it really would be amazing. But good luck everyone!!!

I am a current nursing student interested in ER nursing. What is the maximum dose of Cardizem IV push followed by infusion for a patient in the ER with angina and a-fib? Thanks, I appreciate it!

I finally got all my stuff together too. I will get to drop it off at Vanderbilt while I'm in Nashville this weekend :)

Well after I passed my boards about a month ago I've been getting a few calls from UPMC lately, and I have accepted a position at Presbyterian. woohoo!

Yeah, I realize what you're saying. I know what I'm asking sounds pretty bad haha. But, I really really want to get into this residency which is in a different part of the country and I can't find a job there at all. So, I'm close to finding a job he...

Hi! So I am applying for a nurse residency program starting in the winter but I graduated in May of this year. The application is asking for work experience in the past 6 months only. If I get a nursing job by the time I turn in the application (need...
