Furnished housing near Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Confirm where you’ll report to work

Vanderbilt Health has several Nashville locations. Vanderbilt University Hospital and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital are on its Central Campus along 21st Avenue South. Vanderbilt Health One Hundred Oaks is a separate location at 719 Thompson Lane. Your orientation may take place somewhere different from your regular assignment.

Before choosing a rental, ask your supervisor or recruiter for the building name, entrance, orientation location, and usual shift times. Then compare homes against that specific destination. Vanderbilt Health’s location guide and campus maps, linked below, are useful starting points.

Test the commute at your shift time

A route that looks easy at midday may feel different before an early shift or after a late one. Check the trip in both directions for the days and hours you expect to work. If you’ll drive, confirm what parking comes with the rental and how you’ll park at work.

Vanderbilt Health requires staff, students, vendors, and affiliates who park on its campuses to follow its vehicle registration and parking rules. Patient and visitor parking should not be treated as employee parking for a shift.

If transit is part of your plan, use WeGo’s trip-planning guidance to check the current route and return trip. Vanderbilt Health announced a QuickTicket commuting benefit for full-time employees in 2026. If you’re working through an agency or on a short contract, confirm your own eligibility with your employer before counting on that benefit.

Choose a home that supports your routine

For a stay lasting several weeks or months, small practical details matter. Ask whether you’ll have a place to work or complete paperwork, reliable internet, a usable kitchen, and laundry at home. If you work nights, ask about the bedroom setup and surrounding noise. If someone is staying with you, check that the space and lease work for both people.

Our furnished Midtown Nashville residences are set up for stays of at least 30 days. Each bedroom has a desk and chair, and the homes include kitchen equipment and in-home laundry. Confirm the current inventory, parking arrangement, lease dates, and availability for the particular residence you’re considering.

Match the lease to your assignment

Temporary work dates and rental billing dates do not always line up. Before signing, put the following in writing:

Make a first-week plan

Leave room in your planning for a changed assignment date. Ask how much notice the landlord needs if you want to extend; do not assume the home will remain available after your signed term.

Once your housing and worksite are confirmed, save your building entrance, parking or transit instructions, and the route home. Test that route before your first shift if you can. Check how you’ll get groceries and handle laundry during your workweek. A comfortable routine will do more for a longer stay than a packed sightseeing list.
