Peds RN Residency


I will be graduating in December and am looking to do an RN residency in either pediatric acute or critical care. Does anyone know if there's a listing somewhere of new grad residency/internship programs so that I can start planning?

Thanks!

Default Re: Peds RN Residency
If you simply look at major pediatric facilities (children's hospitals, academic medical centers, etc.), you will find lots of places. They don't all use the term "residency" or "internship" though -- so, don't limit yourself to those who do. Most major hospitals have substantive orientation programs for new grads that include many/most of the same components and resources even if they don't use those words.

Find a location and facility that interests you, then dig deeper into their orientation program to see if it meets your needs regardless of the terminology they use to market themselves to new grads. Look at the substance of their orientation and don't be mislead by any hype.

Thanks a bunch for the input. I think I definitely was getting confused by the different terminology.
