CHOC February 2026 RN residency

[NurseS1]

Hi everyone!

Starting a thread for those of us who applied to CHOC's new grad program for their February 2026 cohort. Goodluck to everyone that applied! 

[Esther Ogunmeru]

Hello! I applied as well, goodluck to everyone!

[Cristo RN]

I applied too! Wishing everyone luck! Over the next week or so, I will be checking my emails obsessively. LOL

Was waiting for someone to begin this thread, LOL. Best of luck to all of us! It's been almost two years since I've graduated and 100+ applications submitted and four interviews with no luck 😭😭😭

@gr1204 did you have any delays getting your license the last two years?

No, I got my license about a month after I graduated.

Ahh! We should be hearing back any day now, since the website says that the next steps will be sent by the 30th. Wondering if there is less applicants since they decided to only do NICU and PICU this round. Good luck everyone!

Dang! Are you working anywhere RN?

[Cristo RN]

@gr1204 oh my goodness! Have you been able to work at all as an RN? I passed my NCLEX last year (8/8/2024), but I just recently received my license a month ago. So I haven't been working at all for the past year!

I applied as well, good luck everyone !!

@baby_nurse_444 @cristorod90 Unfortunately no, and it hasn't been for a lack of trying 😪😕

I applied as well. Good luck to all of us 🤞😁
