  1. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wonder how many people applied for this. I know of two people from my class who applied to Vandy as

  2. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nope. I'm starting to wish I had switched to Peds ER now because I got placed in a pediatric ER for my preceptorship this semester. When 8/17 passed, I totally thought not hearing anything meant I...

  3. New job not what I expected

    NurseYoshi replied to VJN11's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Most of the float pool techs do get the sitter assignments. I work on a specific floor and it's rare we have to sit. I love being pulled to sit on another floor because so far I've only been pulled...

  4. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied to PICU and got an email about peds PACU and peds ER being available in about mid-July, just curious if anyone else got that email and switched or heard anything else about

  5. Final semester! December/Fall 2017 Graduates!

    NurseYoshi posted a topic in General Students

    Hey there! I start my final semester in nursing school and I'm really excited, nervous, scared, nervous, happy, giddy, nervous, etc. Well as you can see I'm very nervous. I want to do well this last...

  6. Final semester! December/Fall 2017 Graduates!

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Students

    When I got my job at the hospital as a patient Care tech, I had to quit my old job at a daycare and I felt so bad because they always needed people, but I didn't feel comfortable doing two jobs that...

  7. Nightshift -days off

    NurseYoshi replied to LittleRedOwl's topic in General Nursing

    I actually recently had to change my sleep habits for my days off. I used to go home and take about a 4 hour nap, but now I try to stay up as late as I can and set an alarm for the morning. I've once...

  8. Does anyone here actually like being a CNA?

    NurseYoshi replied to Veronicax's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I like being a CNA in the hospital. I work nights so sometimes the nurses let me help with stuff I didn't get to see in clinicals. I wish I had gotten my job earlier since I will only have been there...

  9. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats! Stupid question, but did they call you and if they did was the number visible to you? I had a blocked call recently, but I never give out my cell phone number to random people and they...

  10. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have never heard of contact info IN the letter of intent, but maybe under your name. I did not put my contact info on my letter of intent because I had no idea that was a thing. I looked up several...

  11. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    nurseIA I addressed my letter of intent to the residency board. I found somewhere that she's not the deciding person and there's a board to decide who gets through to the

  12. Nursing day time

    NurseYoshi replied to nsumrein's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I am a night shift tech/CNA/PCT whatever you want to call it in Alabama. We typically start new people on days (techs and nurses) and swap them over to nights IF they are hired to work nights. We...

  13. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What's the inside of Vandy like!? I've only seen it from the outside (TWICE! lol). What clinical did you have there? One of our L&D nurses here went to a school in Nashville that did L&D...

  14. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm applying to tons of hospitals in Alabama. One emailed me to ask me if I'd like to interview for ER or MICU as I expressed an interest in those since they don't have a PICU. I've heard that the...

  15. Vanderbilt 2018 Nurse Residency Program/Perioperative Internship

    NurseYoshi replied to adw0033's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Feel free to join our convo! I'm super nervous/excited! I heard that Periop isn't the same residency? But I don't know and I'd hate to leave you out ESPECIALLY if it's the same or very similar. My...

  16. New Grad Vent

    NurseYoshi replied to Ms Petite 93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going to lighten the mood by saying this: the patient was probably glad to get to sleep and not have to discharge at 2 am. I mean it's all about the patient and I'd be so mad if someone woke me up...

  17. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's awesome! I don't liked L&D and OR, but I'm glad some people do! I work as a tech on a respiratory care unit and I'm hoping to precept in the PICU or on a pediatric unit or ICU. Hopefully...

  18. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hope that since they combined Fall and Winter it means they'll take more people. Are you also from out of state jaz4412? What area are you trying to get

  19. How many times have you turned down a job offer?

    NurseYoshi replied to chocolatebuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've never had this situation, but I'm guessing most people would say "why aren't you taking the job as a new grad!?" Here's what I think, if there's an issue with the facility or the unit, I'd tell...

  20. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm just an hour and a half to two hours away driving and I'd love to do an in person interview, but I won't even know my fall semester schedule until mid-August at the earliest because we have to...

  21. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just looked at the website for the Residency program and saw this "All candidates will receive follow up communication prior to the September interviews." So I'm going to guess that interviews will...

  22. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know we aren't the only three people interested in this, otherwise that'll make it VERY easy to get in. I know a girl who got accepted for the summer group this year and she seems to love it. Where...

  23. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So are any of you guys graduating this winter? I've emailed all of my references and let them know to be on the lookout for an email, but one replied saying she hadn't gotten anything and my nursing...

  24. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for that idea! If they keep saying they aren't getting anything in a few more weeks, I'll ask for another email address. I'm applying for PICU. What about

  25. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They changed when the application typically is. I'm hoping it'll make it a little easier because of how far in advance it is to when winter grads typically look for jobs. I'm having a hard time...
