Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

[NurseYoshi]

Hello!

I am graduating in December and I have the summer off so I've begun looking at potential places that I'd like to work.

I'm thinking I'd like to do a nurse residency because I want to work in a pediatric Critical Care setting (PICU or Peds ER) and I feel like having that whole year with someone helping me and that I can ask questions without feeling like an annoying dummy.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here was looking at Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency for February 2018? I'm not from Nashville, but I'm also not too far away as I'm from North Alabama. I'd appreciate any tips about the residency or about Nashville!

Thanks

Hey Amanda!! How awesome! Have you already submitted your application? I'mstarting mine next week.

[SICUnurse_18, BSN]

No I have not submitted mine yet! I plan on doing it within the next week or two. I am excited but nervous.

I'm feeling the exact same way! More excited than nervous though. :) Are you from TN or out of state too?

I am currently living in Tennessee. I go to the University of Memphis. But I am actually from Florida!

Hi so I am graduating nursing school in December and was just offered a position in the cardiac step down and was wondering how you like it? The pay is so low ($23.05/hr and I currently make $22.67 as a tech) so I really don't know... I guess I just wanna see if it's with it...
