Children's Hospital Colorado RN Residency: August 2014

[X-Nurse14]

Just wanted to start a thread as there appears to be some from the past. Has anyone else applied for the August 2014 cohort? I would love to hear and keep in contact with other current applicants as well as those from the past.

Below is the program timeline for August 2014:

o March 28 - April 7: Positions posted

o May 12 - May 16: Select/notify applicants to interview

o June 9 - June 20: Interviews

o August 18: Start of program

---

For purposes of discussion:

o Are you from Colorado or planning on moving?

o Previous experience working in pediatrics?

o What units are you most interested in?

Hope to hear from others soon!

I interviewed for Gen Medsurg, Pulmonary Medsurg, and Surgical/Rehab units. How about you? YAY!! Congratulations, such a huge relief and weight off the shoulders that is for sure! I passed mine back in April, now you can you just relax...maybe. Except this whole waiting for a call back part.

I applied to NICU!!

I interviewed Oncology. General Med was my first choice, but I didn't have a separate interview so I'm kind of confused by that process ha. Did you have three separate interviews chasingdream5??

Also, congrats @JCBSN76 on passing the NCLEX! Such a great, accomplished feeling :)

No I just had one interview with like 8-9 people, which was rather intense. Who knows what the thought process is. lol. I just hope we get a job!

I don't know how many interviewed @JCBSN76 but I got the call from Dorothy the NICU educator yesterday and got an offer!!!! I am giving them my acceptance by Thursday - I'm coming from California so I have to work a couple things out beforehand but I couldn't be more excited. Have you heard anything yet?? I don't imagine they are done with phone calls! Here's hoping for more good news!

Aw thanks!! My fingers are still crossed for you! Originally from the San Francisco area , went to school in Philadelphia though. Definitely a nomad of sorts. Still hoping for you though!! @JCBSN76

[chasingdream5]

When did you interview @invictus513??

We definitely still have time to hear back, it is only Tuesday....that is what I keep telling myself. Definitely sending you some positive vibes @JCBSN76! Definitely going insane though.

I think that they are letting people know all this week. The unit managers are calling people so it depends on the unit when they call.

I got offered a position on the Pulmonary unit! I also am taking a few days to accept the offer because I would be moving from NJ so I need to work out the details of moving and such.

I was wondering if anyone new if we had a length of time commitment to work after the 52 weeks of the program? I am just trying to figure out housing and how to go about it.

Good luck everyone on hearing back!!!!
