Vanderbilt nurse residency program winter 2014

My first goal out of nursing school was to move to Nashville and I ended up with no luck in the job market there since May we won't count the number of applications for the city. Aug 26, I have just finished the application. I really hope to get an interview but I'm a little nervous about lack of volunteer experience in the past 6 months. Aug 27, I had searched for one before I started this one but didn't find it. I was shocked that no one had started one.

Thanks for letting me know! Specializes in Psychiatric, mental health. Sep 5, I submitted my application yesterday. Any hospital job will get you GREAT experience and I learn so much more there than in actual nursing school clinicals :. That shouldn't necessarily stop you from applying for peds.

Someone on here told me Women's Health is much more competitive than peds. I was told they accept like 15 for peds and like 5 for Women's Health But I want Labor and Delivery I don't know exactly what they want A girl from my school got in.

All I know is she had a 4. She worked in the ER at our local hospital. I don't know what volunteer work she did. I'm stressed!!! But I'm hoping my volunteer work will make up for it! Ahhh good luck. I'm surprised no one else has been here saying they are applying. The ones for the past few groups have been huge. I literally read like every page of them looking for tips!
