Hi,
I am getting ready to enter an LPN-RN bridge program soon and would love to get into ALL Children's Hospital RN residency program. I am wondering if there is anyone here who went through it? What was your experience like? Did you get to pick your specialty and did you stay in it the whole time you were in the program ex:NICU? How many spots are there and how competitive is it? How much did they pay while you were in the program and did your pay go up once your 6 months was up? How much tuition reimbrusement did you get for the 2 years of additional employment with them? Did they give preference to current employees? How early should I apply for the program?
I am a former PICU tech employee of All Children's and am now going for my RN and would love to work at this hospital again and pursue NICU nursing. I am a hoping to land a pt job as a NICU tech to gain exposure/experience to the field while in school and increase my chances of making it into the RN residency program and being hiring on.
Also if there is any ACH NICU nurses I would love to hear more about being a NICU nurse at ACH and what role do your techs play in the NICU?
Thank you!!
