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 received an email from one of the recruiters asking if I was interested in PACU in Canyon City. I declined the location but she did state that I am still being considered for my preferred locations (Boulder valley area).
So if anyone is interested in that location/specialty, you may be in luck.
Not much, but at least I got an update from an actual human. Figured I'd let you all know.

- I applied on 8/9 for the Fall Cohort For both Colorado/Kansas location and received an email for the that one way video record interview thing, which I submitted a few days after.
- I received an email on 9/4 like everyone else stating application status in review.
- Yesterday, 9/11, I received an email for a live, Zoom interview with 4 people for the Kansa location.
- My interview is on 9/17 ?. The email said that “they” would discuss the “Nurse Residency Role”. I’m bad at interviews. Going to have write down all possible questions and write them down so that I can turn to my notes if needed.
I applied for ER Nurse Residency, 2nd option: ICU, 3rd option: OR
I’m not a new grad. I’ve been an RN for almost 10 years with no hospital experience. Been working mostly in urgent care/triage, primary/specialty clinics. Currently a travel nurse for clinics.
It has been difficult to find an ER job in desired locations due to not having experience. I see a lot of New Grad/Residency jobs, as well as, Nurse fellowship programs. But I don’t fall on either according to all the places/programs I applied to. They would reply that programs/jobs are only for new grads and refer to apply for experience/fellowship programs but then I would get told that I don’t have the experience they’re looking for. So I’m like stuck in the middle, I don’t qualify or I’m too over qualified (which some have stated) but I shouldn’t be over qualified because I don’t have experience in that area I’m applying for ??♂️ ?. Been applying for months and this is the closest to getting through an application ?
So I had my interview a few days ago with 4 different people, managers/supervisors, from different units/departments.
It was all behavioral type questions. I had typed all possible nursing Q&A to prepare and printed it out. Luckily for me the Zoom interview turned into audio instead of video so it was less nerve racking and I was able to search through my Q&A papers without worrying about them looking at me since it was just a telephone interview.
At the end of the interview they asked me if I had any questions. I went and asked straight away if they had an ER residency position or if the interview I did was for an ER residency position, which was what I had put down on the application.
They said there were no ER residency position currently and that because I had no hospital experience they prefer that I work in Med-Surg first.
They said they would get back to me within a week to give me an offer or not. Since I really want the ER Residency program I'm going to not accept anything from them since it's only for Med-Surg.
Had I known before that they didn't have an ER Residency program available then I would have cancelled my interview.
I had an interview with Castle Rock med surg last week but I think that's only because I currently work there as a tech. My manager knew I was applying and picked my name out early. But I just got notification yesterday that I was asked for an interview at St. Anthony's ED observation unit that is set to occur next week. I think we're all going to hear more about interviews very soon. Also, there isn't a 2 year contract for Centura residency like there is for other hospital systems.
