Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2014

U.S.A. Tennessee

Published

Yeah, I know... I'm waaaay ahead of time :) But I thought there might be some people planning ahead like me. I'm graduating in December and I thought some others might like to discuss what you are doing to help you get in! I have a 3.7, I'm doing a medical mission to Guatamala in May, attending the NSNA annual convention, and hopefully working at a special needs day camp over the summer. I know I need some volunteer hours, so I'm hoping to fit them in at the end of the summer and during next semester, and praying its enough. Anyone else? [Pediatrics BTW]

Specializes in NICU.

I am planning on applying to the Summer 2014 track!!! Any advice?

Did anyone else have a mini heart attack today when they saw the email from Tracey only to find out she's notifying us that decisions will be sent out last wk of nov/first wk of dec. Sigh more waiting. Last year it came out on Nov 15.

I am applying for the Summer 2014 track! The application goes out in one week. I am currently working on my objective, cover letter, and letter of intent. What were the short answer essays like in the application? Also, do you guys have any advice for me? I am applying for the critical care track.

I am interested in applying but won't be done with my BSN until Sept 2014, is that soon enough to apply for the winter cohort?

I submitted the initial online application, and now I'm working on the bigger packet due in january. Does everyone receive the bigger packet??

To all of those who are just applying...good luck with the process. None of us for the Winter cohort have heard anything. We won't be finding out our fate until next week i guess. So sorry we cannot give you too many pointers since we all still don't know what's going on.

Sunshine daisy,

The packet was due by Sept 11 this year if i remember correctly. So it honestly depends on when you're done with the program. I don't see why you couldn't because you will be licensed by the time it actually starts.

Ava2442,

Yes. Everyone receives the bigger packet. It's all stuff that needs to be filled out online. Like track choice, recommendations, letter of intent, etc. From there, your application packets are scored and interviews are based on that and department needs. As for us, when I asked Tracey, she said they received between 600-700 packets and interviewed 212 total.

Hope this helps some.
