Pros
Most employees stay because of the variety of patients we get to see in home care coming from a trauma center. They take most all insurance and provide visits to underinsured and not insured just to be certain patients are getting the care they need and deserve. Management is overall wonderful. Helpful and encouraging.
Cons
As with all healthcare jobs currently, the expectations of productivity can be a lot but not as demanding as some other places I have worked.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Opportunities for advancement, support for continuing education, input via shared governance
Cons
Nashville cost of living is increasing, parking is expensive.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Vanderbilt is well known for being a fantastic hospital. With so many specialties and worst of the worst cases, there is a wide range of information and experience to be gained by working here. Also with the prestige, it looks great on a resume.
Cons
With seeing the kind of patients Vanderbilt sees, a nurse in the SICU (for instance) has a tremendous amount of responsibility compared to most hospital ICUs or any nursing position, really. With the responsibility and no support from administration (I am sure you have heard about the nurse sentenced for the murder of a patient after administering the wrong medication), it causes extreme stress and constant fear that if any mistake is made, they will be the first to throw you to the wolves. They are so worried about their reputation and their doctors, they will make the nurses fall on every sword possible before they admit they are wrong. It is a toxic work environment and I am so relieved I got out and found that most hospitals actually respect and cherish their nurses.

Pros
They provide fantastic benefits and the ability to work from home.
Cons
This company has wandered too far into the political arena. Now that they have made "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" part of their core strategy, and are compensating employees for out-of-state-travel for elective abortions. It is not a welcome place for anyone whose beliefs lie outside of Progressive Orthodoxy. They are also known for paying their employees less than competing institutions, but their provided benefits make it competitive.

Pros
I am encouraged to take time off. Management is supportive and understanding. I am not overworked or micromanaged. I get to work from home
Cons
Underpaid, no paid holidays you must use your PTO instead
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Vanderbilt was never short on PPE throughout covid. Most everyone is very nice and willing to teach and my department is great about approving and working around PTO.
Cons
Vanderbilt has always been very low paying. They stay one step below the competition and with the cost of living in the city I don't see how travelers will ever leave. My rent has doubled in the last three years and my pay has not. Its a good place to go for a year or two and then move on due to low pay and high cost of living.

Pros
Pros are great medical care (if you stay in-house).
Cons
Senior Management is out of touch with the costs of living today and the morale of staff. Doctors face almost no resistance or disciplinary action here. They can abuse anyone under them and say anything they want. It's a bit demeaning at times.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I came here and have decided to stay here solely for the culture.
Cons
I don't have an cons at this time
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Teamwork leadership; Diverse and Inclusive workplace
Cons
no cons in my work place
