Beth BSN, RN

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry to hear that. I haven't received anything yet. I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been so scared in my life.

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...

Thanks! I moved to Nashville about three months ago. Where are you coming from? I hope we both get accepted. I'm just so nervous because I want to do well. The job market has been really bad on everyone. I hope things get better and we get jobs.

Hi Zippy7! I'm interviewing for the adult medicine track too. My interview is on Monday. I've never been so nervous in my life. I really want to get into their program. Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone! I hope your day is going great. I'm a new grad (May 2011) and I have an interview for a position on an ortho/neuro unit tomorrow. I was hoping to get some advice on what might be asked from the nursing aspect. I'm very nervous and I just...

Has anyone heard about when their interview is? I sent an email with dates/times and haven't heard anything yet.

Hi everyone! I have a friend who recently started a job in LTC. She feels overwhelmed with the patient load and the other nurses are not very helpful. She confided in me today about recent events of bullying and yelling at work. If she were to resig...

Hey everyone! I have an interview for the adult medicine track. I am so excited and thankful for this opportunity.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had heard anything from Vanderbilt regarding the next steps? I'm so nervous!

Hi MathisRN! Just keep applying. I've heard from a lot of new graduates that it isn't uncommon to go a whole year before landing their first job as an RN. The economy definitely doesn't help but we can't give up. We have worked too hard to graduate a...

Hi Nervouswreck11! Congratulations on the job offer. Hopefully we'll hear something soon regarding interviews. Which hospital is it with?

I am very anxious too! I hope to hear some good news soon. The waiting is horrible right now. I hope everyone is having a good day and I'm glad we can support each other through this process.

Hey everyone! I wanted to wish everyone good luck! I am so nervous and I can't wait until the end of September. I just want to know if I got an interview or not. It would be a dream come true for me.

Hi Bensonya! I would think explaining how your clinicals went in those areas would help the person reading them understand why you would be a perfect fit. Put in your essay how passionate you are about being in the NICU. I'm not sure if you need to e...

Hi everyone! I am excited and very nervous now. I mailed my application package finally. I kept working on my letter of intent and I think it finally sounds just right. I hope everyone is doing well and good luck. I'm hoping we all get interviews.

Hi icu123! I know it seems overwhelming right now but if nursing is truly what you want to do then nothing should stop you from achieving it. Some schools have contracts with hospitals to allow nursing students to work as nursing assistants and are f...

Hi Pneumothorax! Good luck to you!! It is very exciting and very scary at the same time.

Hi Butterfly0328! I don't think you're crazy at all. If nursing is what you are passionate about, then nothing should stop you from attaining it. I love the Little Couple. I can't wait for the next new episode. Good luck with Nursing School and keep ...

I don't have work experience because my clinical hours were always changing during school and I was doing 12 hour rotations multiple times a week. As for the letter of intent, I single spaced mine. I was told to make it similar to a cover letter. Ho...

Good luck! Keep us updated.

Thanks! Best of luck to both of you!

Congratulations!!!

I'm an RN. I graduated in May 2011 and have been searching for jobs with not much luck. I haven't heard of a lot of people but I do know that it is competitive so there will probably be quite a few people applying. How about you? RN or student?

I am applying for the Adult Medicine track.

Hi rlt0006! I am also applying to the Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt. Which track are you going for?
