   There's definitely a chance! I know two people who got off the waitlist and into their specialty of choice, and a few others who were offered to get off the waitlist and into positions on other units/tracks.

4. Nashville neighborhoods? (Relocating)

   newbienurse11 replied to RBrainRN's topic in Tennessee

   Hey there! I've lived in Nashville for 5 years, you'll love it here! Some of my favorite neighborhoods are the Gulch (very busy, high rises, more city feel,) Hillsboro Village, 12 South, and Germantown. Hillsboro Village and 12 South are adorable and...

   newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

   I made mine a hybrid between the two. I feel like the personal aspects of my letter really helped the administrators get a feel for who I was as a person, but I also incorporated typical cover letter stuff like strengths/goals/etc...

7. Vanderbilt NRP Fall 2016

   newbienurse11 replied to hopefullRN11's topic in Tennessee

   With a program as competitive and highly regarded as VUMC's, I'd definitely suggest applying for the summer cohort. If you aren't accepted, you can re-apply for the fall cohort, which from what I've heard tends to have a lower number of applicants, b...

8. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2017

   newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

   I believe about 130 people were accepted total across all tracks for my group, and it's my understanding that that's pretty much the norm for Vanderbilt's residency. The general adult medicine and surgery tracks accepted the most of anywhere, but the...

9. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2017

   newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

   For those curious about the wait, my whole group heard back on one day, which was 10 days before our "will hear by" date. Your date of December 1st is the last possible day you'll hear, and I know some years people heard anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 da...

    newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

    Hey there! Congrats on getting an interview! The only advice I can really give is to study up on the behavioral interview style. Vandy uses this (as do most hospitals at this point,) and I think it takes some practice. Print off a list of common ques...

    newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

    So far the residency has been amazing. Vanderbilt is an incredible organization to work for, and this entire process has been so seamless. You can tell they really have their ducks in a row, because though extremely busy, the orientation phase runs l...

13. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2017

    newbienurse11 replied to cutch22's topic in Tennessee

    You're welcome! I believe you have to upload something for each spot on the prelim, which is just through the basic job posting. But they don't look at anything you upload there, so it can literally be just plain documents. They won't take anything i...

    Hey y'all! I'm a current Nurse Resident at Vandy, so hopefully I can help answer some questions you might have! You'll need to fill out the prelim application and will then be emailed the full "packet," which will give instructions on your letter of...
