Hi all, just starting a new thread to see where everyone is at regarding application to the CHLA RN residency program scheduled for September 2015! What units did you apply to, and who has received their packet information?

Congrats to you too CarliKachel. The interview is about an hour, and this includes a unit tour. They are hiring about 4-6 but I am not sure how many they are interviewing for those spots.

Congrats you guys! I got a second interview with the heart institute! it isn't until the end of this month.

snowyshan do you mind sharing what types of questions they ask in the 2nd interview? I heard they might ask about meds. Did they in yours?

Congrats SRN2015, CarliKachel, and snowyshan! I got a call to have an interview on May 28 with the OR manager and the unit staff. It'll be 30 minutes with the manager and then 30 minutes with the staff. Don't know what questions they'll ask but I'll prepare for as many as I can :)

Also I heard that the heart institute had 60 applicants making it to the 2nd round and they are looking for 8. Pretty competitive

Yikes that is a lot of people. I thought they told me 16 but maybe I heard wrong. Oh well I'll prepare the best I can!!

Hey! I had more intense get to know you questions about character and tendencies. No meds, but I imagine every floor is different.

Anyone receive an offer for the Heart Institute yet? One of the managers of the Heart Institute said we might hear today.

It usually takes the nurse recruiter a coupe days to start calling everyone because she has to call for other units as well. You will get a call either way. Hopefully she will start making calls on Monday. Good luck SN2RN2015 and let us know when you hear something!

I was told by a manager in the heart institute that we would hear by friday, but it seems reasonable that the recruiters take a few days. Do you think everyone gets at phone call even for rejections? 52 people to reject for the heart institute alone seems like alot, i feel they will send emails. Anyway, keeping my phone on loud and staying hopeful !

[SRN2015]

I am waiting to hear from them as well! When I was leaving the manager told me that they only had interviews on the 27th and the 28th. Then she said we will hear later that week or early of next but we would hear from the nurse recruiter Stephanie either way. Did they tell you that they are interviewing 60 people? That seems like a crazy amount to interview in only 2 days.

I was told the same, that they only had interviews the 27th or 28th; however i only heard by word of mouth that they are interviewing 60 candidates. My interview lasted about an hour so in 2 days that just seems impossible, wondering if i heard wrong? haha

Got job offer from the Heart Institute today. I am super excited. btw i believe they only interviewed 16. they reserved the room from 10-530 and I believe that they took about an hour with each candidate. I wasnt feeling so good after my interview but I did have the panel laughing a lot so I guess having a good sense of humor does come in handy during interviews.
