Hi all,

Just wanted to start up another forum for CHLA's Versant New Grad RN Program for the March 2013 cohort. Here's a link to CHLA's page: http://www.chla.org/site/c.ipINKTOAJsG/b.3579535/k.2A87/RN_Residency__Pediatrics_Nurse__RN_Versant.htm

The online app should only be open for a few more days apply now and GOOD LUCK!

I asked the nurse recruiter who called me if I needed to bring anything and she said they will have everything but if you would like to bring additional resumes you can (I usually do, it shows your prepared).

I brought my resume and stuff, enough copies for everyone. They took them, briefly glanced and them, and put them in a pile of stuff. I like to tell myself that they are saving it for later so they can read every last word and cherish them :-)

is anyone else interviewing for 6W? the recruiter said it would be a 30 min interview with the leads of the department. what kind of questions are they going to ask? i guess this one is different from the 10 min one?

Hello Everyone!

I finally caved and decided to join in on posting instead of just reading all of yours..I applied for the CTICU and had my preliminary interview last week. The very nice HR person that checks us in told me that there are 20 people that made it to preliminaries for CTICU. Not sure how many made it for all the other units. So I can only assume that half would get cut before the 2nd interview. I felt really good after initially walking out of my interview but who knows...on retrospect I am not quite sure anymore. The interviewers were very nice and upbeat - not scary, still nerve wracking.

I am currently waiting for the 19th to hear about the 2nd interview (if I get to that point). I am now just studying everything cardiac and thoracic related..anyone that has been through the experience know what I can do to prep myself just in case I do get called for round 2?

Thanks! GL everyone!

I got a call for the second interview!!! eeek!! so flipping nervous, but excited. I was told it would be Nov 28th, that its for the PICU, and I would be meeting with the hiring managers. The numbers are down to 15 applicants, with 4-6 spots. So excited that I have enough time to buy a plane ticket this time, instead of driving 12 hours in 2 days. Good luck to everyone else! be sure to post when you get your calls!

CONGRATS! it sounds like they're calling back in the same order that they made their initial first interview calls! @yginay and @houseblew you both wanted PICU and interviewed about a week ago right?
