CHLA RN Residency Program September 2012

[newgrad12]

Hello nurses!! :) is anyone else applying for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles RN Residency Program that starts September 4th, 2012??? :)

Yes LA is very expensive. I applied to the program last year and I did my preceptorship in peds but did not get it. I am hoping since I have my license and have revamped my resume it will be different. As far as the packet if I can remember correctly I received the packet about 3 business days after submitting the app.

i think there are a total of 3 interviews: 1) panel 2) unit manager 3) unit manager, unit RNs, and a new grad from previous cohort. other than that, i don't really know...

do you guys know what you are gonna put down for your choices? i want to put NICU and my #1 but everyone does that! :/ and my other one will be oncology. i work at MD Anderson so i have a little experience in that area. hopefully that will get me right in the door :)

I think I'm going to put PICU as my #1 and then maybe med/surg. I just got my packet though. Time to print out my stuff and send it in tomorrow!

[starghadeer]
