Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Summer 2016

[asmack18]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone was thinking about applying for Vanderbilt's nurse residency program for summer 2016. For those who have applied to other terms or gone through the residency: any advice?!

newbienurse11, Thank you so much for your feedback! I am applying for a critical care track, preferably CVICU or surgical ICU. My GPA is a 3.45 overall currently but I still have two semesters of nursing school left! I work in a hospital operating room as a nurse extern, so hopefully that will look good on my application. I will definitely look up those behavioral interviews! I am going to completely prepare myself for that. I just hope I get the chance for an interview! I am going to try to get into a surgical ICU on my preceptor shift! That unfortunately does not happen until the spring! Again, thank you so much and good luck! :)

Those of you who have started this program/cohort last summer, any updates about how the residency program is going? Are you liking the structure and organization? Training? Are most of you on night shift? Thanks for the feedback!

Those of you who have started the residency, what are your thoughts? How have you liked the program thus far? Clinical exposure, mentorship, clinical opportunities, growth, camaraderie amongst your colleagues? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just received a call that I'm on the waitlist for the summer 2018 program. Those who were waitlisted for an interview - how soon did you find out if you received an interview? Did they let you know if you didn't?
