Children's Hospital Colorado Nurse Residency Program August 2013

[i<3veggiesRN]

I didn't find another topic relating to the new grad RN program for Children's Hospital Colorado, so I decided to start a thread.

Anyone else apply for the August cohort?

I live in San Diego right now, but have visited Denver a handful of times and really love it out there. I dont know too much about Children's CO, so if anyone would like to share any advice or info I would love to hear it!

I applied too and was surprised there wasn't a thread yet!

I applied as well!

I too applied and I received an email on 4/23 that my application has been forwarded for review to a hiring manager and that if I was a top candidate, I would be contacted for an interview.

It's a great place to work!

[annakahara]

I received that email too!

I like how they have a timeline of event - applications, review, interviews, and start date. This really helps lessen the anxiety of just waiting around without any idea of how long you will have to wait or why you havent received a call yet! The waiting part kills me!!

[annakahara]

any idea of how many you think applied?

[i<3veggiesRN]

no idea how many people applied, but just like all new grad programs nowadays, its competitive

Well I have accepted a job offer for a children's hospital in Utah! Good luck to you all :)

Congrats @nurse_2365!! I applied to that one as well, but didn't get accepted. Hope I have better luck with CO. What unit will you be working in?

[nurse_2365]

@Bear07_RN2B I will be on the Immuno-Compromised Unit. It is primarily oncology and bone marrow transplants! So happy to be starting off my career in my dream job!
