Hi! I applied for PICU, Peds Critical Care, and Peds Acute Care. The application only asks for work, volunteer, and leadership experience from the last 6 months so I already feel like I am at a disadvantage, but we will see!

Does anyone know base pay for Vandy?

Around $23 base pay

Vanderbilt is one of the lowest paying hospitals in this area. They may make up for it in shift differentials but either way they know regardless of pay people will still work for them because they have a big name. From what I know of so far. Centennial is the highest paying right now ..

Does anyone know what they look for to make interview decisions? I mean we're all going to have our BSN, RN, so what are they looking for to stand out and decide who gets interviews, who gets waitlisted, and who gets nothing?

I'm thinking probably next week because the email told me late February, but sooner would definitely be nice!

@samkit102092 That's awesome! I applied to the NICU too. Do you like the unit? I'm assuming you do if you applied! I really don't know much about it (I'm applying from DC and never been to Vanderbilt). Everything looks great online but obviously you know much better as you've worked there!
