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 ?

For people that have gotten interviews, did they say that the first year would be rotating?

For Castle Rock it was med surg and St. Anthony's was ED observation unit. I just accepted the position at St. Anthony's. For Castle Rock, training is 6 weeks on days and 6 weeks nights and then typically new grads go to nights (I work there currently as a nurse extern and I know there are a lot of day shift openings so I'm not sure if new grads will be on days now). For St. Anthony's, all 12 weeks of training are days but then I'll be on nights. I'm not aware of any hospitals that do rotating shifts except for UCH.

During my interview today she said it would be rotating for the first 12 weeks and then straight nights after that. Maybe it differs with each unit?

Just curious if any of you all noticed any Saint Anthony summit medical center residency positions when you applied for the last rotation? I am getting ready to apply in October for the next rotation.

I just wanted to update so others have the information. I submitted my application for Centura residency at Saint Anthony Hospital the day it opened. I had an immediate email invitation to submit a video interview which I completed on a Monday after receiving the request on a Friday. Two days later I received an email to submit my reference's emails and phone numbers on a separate website. I received an email to schedule an interview with a unit manager couple days later. The next week I received a text that asked some questions about my background. I then received a phone call that afternoon with an offer. It was a really quick process that took about two weeks for me. I have an ABSN from Emory university and a 3.9 GPA. I have worked for Centura in the past for reference. Hope someone can use this information for their benefit. Good luck fellow nurses ?

Hi! 

I'm looking at St. Anthony's ED program for August 2021. I'm going to Baylor University in Dallas so it's a little harder to find out about the CO programs. is the "observation" part of the ED residency just the first 12 weeks? And then you're trained into a full-on ED position? 

Thanks for any insight!

No, the ED observation is it's own unit. Most nurses work on this unit for 1-2 years and then transition to the ED. All patients have an observation status meaning they're not inpatient and are here for further testing until they can go home or their condition declines and then they become inpatient (move to an inpatient unit). With that being said, our nurse manager knows most people want to move to the ED and is very supportive to everyone's goals.

That makes sense! Thank you so much for explaining!
