Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program - Winter 2013

U.S.A. Tennessee

Published

I just mailed off my packet to Vanderbilt today! I'm so nervous and really hoping to get an interview for this program. Adult Critical Care is my first choice. I graduated in May 2012 with my BSN from Washington State University. I thought it would be fun to start a thread for people applying for the Winter 2013 program.

Hoping to meet other people who are applying to this program.

Hello everyone,

First time posting to the site. I received an invite to interview for the adult critical care track today. I am very excited. From Phoenix.

I am from Michigan, i graduated from Michigan State two years ago and U of M's accelerated nursing program last month. Other people from peds, did you have volunteer expierence? I graduated with a 3.9 and am still wait listed. and if you get in you find out at the end of novemeber.

I'm pretty sure by the end of novemeber. Interviews go on through Novemeber 2nd

Alymoore87, I have worked with children for six years (4.5 years at Boston Children's). I wouldn't stand a chance applying to anything other than peds with my background. Peds is the only population I want to work with but it's actually been impossible to apply to anything but peds which limits my options. I have volunteer experience with children's relief for 3 years also!

alymoore87 I did not have volunteer experience in a hospital setting, but have worked as a Nursing Assistant for 5 years, and had an externship with adult Hem/Onc/BMT. I did have extensive volunteer experience in other areas, just not in a hospital setting.

Hey all!

It's nice to see all the action on the thread! I have an interview for Adult Critical Care. Are all of you planning on flying down for your interview?

Hi everyone, this is my first post on All Nurses, but I read a lot of their threads. I applied to the VUMC nurse residency program and received an email today to set up an interview. I applied for the Peds track. I live in Massachusetts. I understand where you are all coming from- the job market is awful, and the competition is fierce. I have (luckily) been on 4 interviews since graduation in May, but was not chosen for two of the positions, and am still waiting to hear back from the other two. One of the opportunities I interviewed for, they were interviewing 50 candidates for 5 spots. Its tough out there! Good luck!

Hi everyone, I got an email today about scheduling an interview for the ED track. I live in Colorado and really would like to do the skype interview; however, in the email it says there preference is on-site interview. So I sort of feel like by doing the skype thing, it already puts you at a disadvantage. So I am planning I think on flying. What are the rest of you doing that have been offered an interview?

I heard that they make there decisions beginning of December, but like I said I HEARD that. Not sure if it is legit or not

Hi everyone, its my first time posting. Congrats to everyone who got an interview! I will be interviewing for the ED track. Anyone else out there for ED?

I am planning on flying down for my interview. I'm hoping to have something scheduled for the second week of October, but we'll see how that works out.

Well, I don't know what to think about being on the wait list for peds. I thought for sure that I would at least get an interview.

I graduated in April, with my BSN from MI, and recently moved to TN. My dream job is to work with children with cystic fibrosis and other pulmonary issues. I guess that I will start sending my resume to specific contacts at Vanderbilt and be optimistic that I will land a career.
