Children's Hospital Colorado RN Residency: August 2014

Published

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!

They didn't tell me... They said I would be receiving two emails before the interview so maybe one of them will have more info about specific units

Got a call for an interview too around 5 this time. Must've been ending their day, maybe more calls tomorrow!

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Plus, there were 6 tornado touch downs yesterday, lots of hail, and flooding today, so I figured maybe they were preoccupied with making sure all the areas of the hospital were prepared, and just all around chaos that can entail with that. I haven't heard any injuries from the weather though.

The weather here has been insane the last 3 days! Congrats to those that have gotten call backs so far and hopefully more will hear back tomorrow! Lets hope so!!

Yeah, I moved here.... YESTERDAY. Definitely was freaking out driving and reading the news. (Fiancé was driving, I was reading. )

Hi, just a lurker in this thread - longtime nurse, former Children's employee. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone! This is such an exciting (albeit stressful!) time in your career! Enjoy!

Thank you! Any wisdom or suggestions on jobs in the area outside of Children's if this doesn't work out? I'm limited here due to my fiancé job....

I know that UCH also has a new grad nurse residency program, but I believe the application deadline has already passed.

Thank you!! it's my dream job and I couldn't be more excited :)

UCH's application was already due back in April, but there are so many hospitals in the area!

What areas did you choose for your top three? Are you from Colorado?

I chose oncology, medical and NICU. And yes! Went to nursing school here..not originally from here though :) How about you?? Also, did you get the e-mails yet??

Congrats to people who have been offered interview opportunities! Just curious for people who have not received calls, has anyone's application status changed from "route" to "declined", or has anyone gotten an official "thanks, but no thanks" email? Just wondering if they contact people if they are not offered a position...
