Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2023

I have not found a thread for this upcoming Vanderbilt nurse residency cohort. I graduate Dec 9, 2022 and have applied for Vanderbilts nurse residency program. The start date would be for Feb 27, 2023. I just completed my final interview 2 days ago and am waiting to hear back for an official offer.

update *** I've been offered my first choice, NICU.

I would like to meet some of you!

I would love to know your starting rate!  I'm looking at NICU program in the next round.  I'm trying to decide between Vandy and WMC.

@airy My starting rate is $31/hr base pay. I’m hired for nights though. That is another $3.50/hr. Weekends are an additional $6/hr. I also will be receiving a $10,000 bonus after 60 days of employment. Granted, I didn’t know about the bonus and wanted the job regardless. Vanderbilt and Nashville are amazing.

I'm appalled that any nurse would consider working for Vanderbilt after what they have done to nurses.

 @PMFB-RNThis isn't the right post to vent your frustration within.  Start a whole new one for that or go on one that already exits.   Why come in here and promote a negative opinion to people who have nothing to do with your emotions/experience?   It's OK to be appalled, but there is a time/place for that and it's not here where people are excited and hoping to find others that are too.   Step back a second and think about how you are acting towards us.  Your post sends a message that portrays that you are horrified by us.  How in the world does that help the nursing profession or anyone?  It doesn't.   Please take your grievance elsewhere, this is not the place.

@Leader25Why would I want to know the rate of turnover?  I feel like that's looking at the world's greatest roller coaster and then looking at all the potential things that could happen to me, decide it could kill me and then never step a foot on the ride and miss an experience of a lifetime.   I'd prefer to explore within my own experience and adjust as I go.  I am very self aware.  If I personally start to feel burn out, then that is when I will make a decision about.  I'm here to live and serve.  You can't truly live if you're always looking for reasons to never try anything.

@ThatRedheadNurse Congrats on the acceptance!  Thank you so much for sharing the start rates they are offering!  I am about 6 months behind you and I'm excited!  I saw my first surgery yesterday and about died in heaven.  I think I found my track!

I'm not frustrated and nothing I said would indicate I am. Your dishonesty is noted.

Hi @ThatRedheadNurse ! Just came across this thread and I actually have my NICU interview tomorrow and was hoping you can give me some tips for the kind of interview questions they asked you? I am actually not a new grad but will be transferring (hopefully) from the adult hospital where I have been at for a year already. 

Would love all the help????

I would love to know from those that interviewed: How long did it take to hear back?   I've completed my interview and am anxious to hear back.
