Children's Hospital Colorado Nurse Residency August 2021

Published

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to start this thread for those who applied to CHC Nurse Residency Program for August 2021. Good luck to everyone!

I went to school in Florida, but just moved and applied for a CO license straightaway since I knew I wanted to end up in CO. I believe you need a Colorado driver's license or some proof of residency in order to apply for a nursing license though (correct me if I'm wrong). The CO licensure process was very quick in my experience, less than a week from submitting my application until I got my Authorization to Test for NCLEX. 

I definitely agree with @ekh10293 about showing commitment and it's nice to have your NCLEX already done by interview time (but not required because scheduling and finding a test date can suck sometimes)

I have friends that just got their compact license and are planning to transfer it to whatever state they end up moving to, which also seems like a good option if you were unsure which state but want to take NCLEX as soon as possible.  You'd be fine either way ?

Just FYI I didn’t need Colorado residence to apply for a Colorado nursing license!! They needed my drivers license for identification but it was a MI license:))

Hi everyone! 

I applied to the residency program starting in October (it was supposed to start in November, but they moved up the application deadline and start date). I applied to the Anschutz ED, and I am very nervous about being from out of state but super excited about the possibility of working there! Anyone else in the same boat?

It looks like people started receiving interview invites around 3 weeks after their application was due. So my guess would be we should hear something between the 23rd and the end of August. Rejection emails came almost exactly a month after their application deadline. Fingers crossed!

Not yet... I will probably apply to the other pediatric hospitals in the area at the end of August if I don't hear back or if I am not selected! How about you?

I am from MI so I panicked and applied to a lot of places LOL. UCHealth, HCA HealthONE (I have an offer with them, but just waiting to hear back from other places), SCL Health & Children's!
