Vanderbilt University Employer Reviews

Seeing patients from several states and from all surgical services, coming to surgery with an array of comorbidities, who needed to be approved for anesthesia.

I was a new nurse. Went through a OR intern program. I like working at Vanderbuilt, but do not remember managment. Co-worker were friendly ,helpful and good workers. Hardest was the big case, lots of instruments. Most enjoyable was that Vanderbuilt had great doctors and the cases were very interesting to scub.

I absolutely enjoy working at Vanderbilt University. I prepare the chemicals, instruments, and materials necessary for three lab classes to function well. You're treated as an equal, even when working with a superior, and your opinions are always taken into consideration when decisions are being made. The people I work with are a tight-knit community – more... who work well together. It's never a chore to come to work. The most difficult part of my job would be balancing so many labs at once, but even that isn't too bad. I love the people I work with and the stories and advice they're always willing to share; I love that I get to come to work and do what I love; and I love that I'm able to make a difference in students' educational careers. – less

Great company to work for. Excellent benefits and salary. Staf is always willingto help.

I made appointments and assist Dr and was hands on with patient care

Worked on an Orthopedic post op floor for 3 years with trauma, joint replacement, spine, cancer patients. No 2 days were ever the same.
There was quite a bit of turn over with the staff. There were people from all over Middle TN and Southern KY area as staff and patients. Some of the patient's stories were heartbreaking. The learning opportunities were – more... endless. From there to the main Radiology Dept.
with portables, pediatrics, oncology, ICU, ER, and OR with more learning. Then on to the Orthopedic Clinic where patients came in prior to and post op. Most interesting to see patients progress over time and some returning for multiple surgeries for new or ongoing problems. The hardest part of this was constant change which was also one of the best parts. Loved the learning. Long shifts and commute took a toll. Management changed frequently most were great some not so much – less

Over worked and under paid. Management doesn't care about anything except making themselves look good.

Vanderbilt is a nice place. Very exquisite compared to the jobs i have had prior. I love my co workers and my managers, We worked very hard and in a very fast pace work environment.

Great Management and good team of well rounded technicians

Learned signal transduction pathways in folate mediated chemotaxis, polarity and directional sensing of unpolarized cells.

My supervisor and colleagues are very good in team work and exchange of expertise.Overall Good and productive work environment. I enjoyed every part of my work at Vanderbilt.

This company is a good, stable environment. Unfortunately, the pay is sub-par. The workload is reasonable for most, but it is also biased in distribution.

I have been working at Vanderbilt for a year and a half, assembling a webpage according to grant specifications, and managing/coordinating efforts to assure timely execution of grant goals. I have written a paper, assisted with running focus groups, and learned a lot about managing projects. I have also learned more about informatics environments.

My – more... co-workers and management are supportive, and I enjoy working with and learning from them. – less

Overall Vanderbilt is a great place to work; provides a well-rounded, diverse environment. The cafeteria was a great place to dine for meals while at work, i.e., breakfast especially.

Managed a cardiovascular research lab.  Great management and coworkers.  Hardest part of the job was probably the most enjoyable. The numerous duties were sometimes difficult to maintain but stimulating and never boring.

The med/surg/urology unit is busy. We have a wide range of patient population. The managment strive to make a pleasant working environment. The job is demanding but rewarding. Great environment for growth.

Vanderbilt University and Medical Center is a great company and an even greater hospital.

My research is in the area of human brain mapping and statistical inferences. I am interested in robust statistical methods to improve understanding of medical images.
