Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

U.S.A. Tennessee

Published

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a strong letter of intent for Vanderbilt's Nurse residency program? I know they accept a lot of applicants for each cohort but I'm not sure how many people actually apply and how competetive it actually is. If there is anyone on here that is currently in the program, was previously or knows anyone who has gone through the program, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I think we are all pondering the same things. I'll be flying in from Houston for my interview. From past forums on here seems as though they take about 40% or so. I don't know how many spots are available, surely the economy has taken it's toll. Good luck to all. It would be a life changing event to be accepted into the residency... First choice (critical care) or not. I feel great! I've worked my butt off... We all have. All I can do is be myself and hope it is what they are looking for.

jennrn09. In nursing interviews they ask alot of situational questions..here is a link that might help http://www.nursecareers.com/QuestionstoAnswer.html . I am happy for everyone who was selected. Good luck to all. It may be too late to ask now, but does anyone know the starting rate and differentials for the Residency?
