Gingermetimbers · Oct 5, 2014

Hi! I also got accepted into the New RN talent pool and received an email about setting up an interview with one if the medical units. They didn't direct me to an online sign in though, just asked my availability. I'm nervous and curious as well! If anyone has any info please post! I'm curious!

What types of questions did they ask you in the video interview? I am trying to prepare for it. Thanks!

It was situational stuff, "tell me about a time..." I don't remember the specific questions but they emphasized diversity and how you had handled conflicts in the past. There are practice questions too that don't get recorded so I suggest doing them over and over it really helps to take the nerves away!

Thanks for responding. I already did my video interview. How long did it take for you to hear that you were accepted into the pool? Good luck with hopefully beginning your own career at CHOP, I appreciate you responding to me.

It didn't take long at all maybe a week? Thanks so much and good luck to you!

When did you guys see posting for new graduate RN jobs at CHOP? I looked practically daily since last semester and never saw openings. I know their website says August and February. Did I just miss it?

@kelseykelsey4 Yes, the posting was only up for like 2 or 3 days the weekend before labor day weekend

I know this is an old thread but just figured I would ask anyways in case someone reads this! I was recently asked to come in for an interview for the New Grad Residency Program (already completed my video interview). I am a little confused about the process though. If I do get accepted to begin orientation, does that mean I have a paying job? It says that after 12 weeks of orientation, people have to chance to interview for the position they want, what are the chances I would be able to get the job if all goes well with orientation or is it still another long process to get a job?

hello, I am graduating from Chico State, which is also locate at North Cal. I am planing to move to Philly and New Jersey area after I graduate. I am very nervous about the move, and I want know some of your experience, such as how did get your RN licence in another state and how did you get info of NJ nurse market. Any suggestion would help. Thanks ahead!

Hello! I know this thread is old. I am a nurse at one of the hospitals in Philadelphia working in an Adult ICU. Adult nursing is not my passion and I desperately would love to work at CHOP. I saw on their website that there will be a new application coming out in Feb 2016 for their Nurse Residency Program. I wanted to post to see if anyone had any information when in february they will be posting this application. I have been viewing their website daily. As of right now I will have 6 months ICU experience in March, and I know CHOP wants nurses to have atleast 12 months experience to apply to positions so I figured that applying to the Nurse Residency Program is the best way for me to go. Does anyone have any advice on the Nurse Residency Program and how I should apply? Thank you!

Hi! I know this post is from years ago at this point, but it's one of the only things that pop up when I google CHOP nurse residency.

Are you still at CHOP? I graduate in May and I believe the entry-level RN positions are posted in March, so I'm looking forward to applying.

Hopefully I'll hear back from you :)
