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 am a part of the new grad class that started in March in the NICU. I know our educator said they are interviewing Monday, so chances are if that's your date it will be NICU. Hope that helps!

Definitely nerve-racking but feeling relief that it's over. Short-lived since now the wait for phone calls begins again :)

Does anyone know when they will be making their decisions? I forgot to ask

They said they were convening on this past Friday afternoon to decide, than start making call backs as soon as Monday and through Friday. Depends on how if all the survey recommendations have been received yet or not. So here is too the waiting game and hopefully we get call backs!

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.
