Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Summer 2018

[vlg]

Hi everyone! My name is Tori. I created this page for those interested in the summer 2018 nurse residency program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. We can use this page as a place to share application tips, updates on the status of applications/interviews, tips for the entire application/interview process, etc. And of course, it's great to speak with others going through the same experience!

Hello!

I completed my packet a few weeks ago and applied for MICU.

Good luck to everyone and excited to continue following this thread!

What other hospitals are you all applying for in the Nashville area?

Good Luck :)

Thanks for the insight, I'm definitely going to be looking for a roommate if I get lucky enough for an offer. I have a few friends that have lived in the area for years to ask advice on for traffic and places to avoid; anything I find out i'll pass along as well.

Just submitted my application! I'll be looking for a roomie as well! I have a friend that lives down there and will get some feedback for apartments and living around there. :)

Hey everyone!

I am submitting my application today for the NRP but I am a bit confused on the 'Experience' section as I look over it. Did you all put only experiences that were in the past 6 months for all 3 categories? I had an externship that was technically 7 months ago now that it is February because it ended in July, but I am thinking it would be alright to keep. And for 'Volunteer Experience' the description makes it sound like it can be any previous volunteer experience but the check box at the end makes it seem like it needs to be in the past 6 months. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any clarification anyone may be able to offer!

Anyone else losing their mind waiting?!?!

Does everyone get the "application packet received" email with the details regarding interviews March 1st-April 5th and follow up mid to late February, or if this only if you are considered a candidate after they have gone through your application? Thanks in advance!

[vlg, BSN, RN]

Everyone gets that email!
