Children's Hospital Colorado - Fall 2012 Nurse Residency Application

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

Hi there,

I submitted my application for the new graduate nurse residency program at Children's Hospital Colorado on June 2. For some reason, I could access it before it was officially posted... Maybe it's because I had a job agent set up? I thought I'd start a forum so we could all speculate and share info on the application process for the Fall 2012 start date.

About me: My first B.S. was in Health Management and Policy (SO CLOSE!) and then attended a second degree B.S.N. program and graduated this May 2012. I have worked with children as a preschool teacher in college, camp counselor and have worked at Boston Children's Hospital for 4+ years now. I am from Boston =) but am really interested in relocating for their VERY well established new graduate residency program.

I've posted their timeline below:

  • June 4-8, 2012: Position posted
  • June 14 or 15, 2012: Select applicants to interview
  • June 27-29, 2012: Interviews
  • July 27, 2012: Selection and notification of candidates
  • August 20, 2012: Start of program

Let the games begin!

Hey guys,

HR just called me from Children's and they said that everyone who got interviews was called on Friday.. Apparently there was over 300 applicants and only 30 got interviews. She said almost all of them did their senior practicums there..

I have an interview for the Spring 2013 residency program at Children's. If any of you went through the interview process, do you have any advice?!

Thanks!

I am an alternate for an interview this round. Does anyone have experience with this?
