Centura Health Nurse Residency October/November 2020

Nurses New Nurse

Published

Hi guys! Having a thread here has been super helpful for other jobs I've applied to so I thought I'd start one for Centura! I applied for the NICU track first choice with Perinatal second, with Littleton my top hospital and Parker my second. They sent me an automated request for a pre-recorded interview when I was done with the application. I'd love to hear where you guys are applying ?

Just applied to Centura Health an hour ago (Longmont United and Avista as facility preferences). I applied for the operating room specialty with ICU being my second choice.

I also applied to ucHealth in the Denver Metro Area. I applied for Broomfield Hospital and Anschutz operating room. Have not heard anything from them but I've read that the ucHealth new grad RN jobs are insanely competitive with only a few jobs per unit for hundreds (if not 1000+) applications.

And my third application thus far has been through the SCL health system. I specifically applied for Good Samaritan in Lafayette with operating room as my specialty preference. My app was submitted on July 23rd I believe and it still lists it as "under consideration" but I have not heard anything from them.

I've also seen that UC Health is very competitive; I also applied there as well. We'll have to see how it all shakes out!

Just got the denial letter from UC Health this morning. Bummer but that's sort of what I was expecting.

Good luck and I hope they give you a chance.

I completed my Centura Health online interview over the weekend so hopefully that goes a little better.

Specializes in RN.

Hi all,

I also applied for the November cohort with my preferences being in the Springs. I have a “one way video interview” via the Pymetrics app. Is that what y’all had to do? Do they actually ask you interview questions or is it just the psychometric games?

They ask you generic interview questions (pre-recorded). You have 3 minutes to prepare and 3-4 minutes to record your response. You have 1 do-over in case you are not happy with your first answer. I believe there are a total of 6 questions.

Got my second denial letter, this time from SCL health. Only Centura remains...

Is anyone aware of other RN residencies in the Denver area (aside from Children's) for this fall?

Specializes in Cardiothoracic Progressive.

I applied for ICU as my first and step down as second preffing Porter and Parker. I started work in March/April on cardiothoracic surgery progressive and am from out of state, just curious if anyone else has experience applying for Centura? Or have applied for Centura before? I was emailed back the same day for the video interview but I've been working so I'm finally doing it today was wondering what questions they ask??

I had applied for UC Health back in November and found out at the interview that the whole first year at least is rotating days and nights and you have to sign a 2 year contract specific to just the unit you're hired on so if you were to try to switch to a different unit within the hospital before 2 years is up, you'd have to pay a fee of up to $7,500. Maybe that could make people who didn't get hired feel a little better.

This ^^^ is such a scam. I get that its a huge hospital but they are taking advantage of new grads because they know they can. Glad I didn't get an offer from CU. I want no part of that BS corporate policy and 2-year commitment. Thanks for sharing.
