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!
I think it went well! Some of the questions were tough but all I did was think of clinical examples and I was fine. The people that I interviewed with were extremely nice. I did the Skype interview, I think they said sometime around the end of September. I really like ortho!
Did anyone notice that the deadline was extended for a couple tracks? Any idea as to why this is? Is it because not enough applicants or nursing shortage or is the program not what it used to be? anyone know or have an idea for this?
The interview wasn't bad at all! Just have clinical experiences ready for examples but other than that my interviewers were very nice and made me feel good about my answers! The salary I received was $21/85 an hour which is $43,700/year. In Nashville, that is a tight budget..

Also was informed that pediatric interviews were full. I was offered 4 other tracks and chose adult surgical.
