Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2024

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has recently been accepted into Vanderbilts Nurse Residency program for late 2023 or early 2024? I am in my last semester of getting my RN, BSN and would like to apply to the Adult ED tract once it is opened for May of '24. If you have been accepted, can you please tell me how the interview process went, how long it took, and what your pay is? Were you able to negotiate your pay? Thank you so much!

I just applied and am incredibly nervous for the next step because one of my biggest fears is being recorded and seeing myself on video/hearing my voice. I have no issues being on like a Zoom or whatever, something about being recorded. 

Also if you graduate in December, you should apply NOW for February 2024. I mean it's your choice if you want the break, but I need to start working pretty much immediately when I finish school, going to push to get my approval to sit for my NCLEX and take it ASAP after I graduate too. The applications are currently open from July 13-August 10 for late this year or early next year. 

Also generally cannot negotiate pay for a new grad job unless you have a counter offer from another place, but aside from Ascension, no other hospital is going to pay more than Vanderbilt. (I was talked to recruiters from every large hospital system in the middle TN area, worked at Vanderbilt and now work for HCA)

Congrats on getting to the next step! This will be my last semester but still have to do my preceptorship in January (which I'm hoping to do at ). So I was thinking about applying for the May start date once it is opened. I plan on sitting for my NCLEX in late March or early April. Which track are you going for?

I recently applied and completed the second step (the video recordings). I personally hate replying to questions in a format that is more similar to a speech than an interview, thus I think it went poorly. It was quite awkward to do. 

Anyway, I applied to the Peds ED as my first choice and the Adult ED as my second. I can continue to update this as I progress, if I progress, through the interview process.

For anyone else who stumbles onto this thread, do y'all know how long it will be before applicants began receiving invites to department specific interviews?

I'm doing it today, I'm quite nervous but I was just interviewed at a tournament I went to over the weekend and it went fine maybe that will help my nerves.

I just got an email saying the next steps will be done after the deadline (August 10th) should be emailed by the 15th.

Are you local to the area? Apparently the residency gets a lot of out of town applicants looking at past threads on here.

I live closer to Clarksville, about an hour away.
