CHOC RN Residency June 2016

[KBSNRN]

Has anyone heard back from CHOC about their application to the residency? I submitted mine in the middle of March and getting anxious!

I was also wondering if anyone knew some safe and affordable places to live. I'm not from the area :/

Apartment hunting is hard to do online

Hey all! I also have applied to the June cohort, and have yet to hear anything :/ I am comforted in knowing that they had a lower number of applicants-- gives me some hope that maybe I stand a slight chance in getting an interview. Good luck everyone. Keep posting interview calls as they come!

I am from close by and if you are hired I can give you assistance! (: If hired I will also be looking in the area

What areas are safe/reasonable commute? I'm moving from the Bay Area so I don't know too much about the surrounding areas in terms of housing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hmm. If you don't mind a commute. Irvine is close. A bit more expensive, but nice neighborhoods/safe. Closer to the hospital- there is an apartment complex right off of college avenue by the Angels stadium that is nice. It's in the industrial area so it's not sketchy. (In fact anything around that area is relatively good). You don't wanna live too close to Disneyland- due to traffic and actually the neighborhoods close to their can be super sketchy. Fullerton isn't too bad (but that would be a bit of a commute) the best thing to do is to Zillow a place and then check the crime report for that neighborhood! If you find a place and wanna know more we have good friends who actually live down there and are experts!

Also: for those of you who have been asked for an interview- did they call you or email you an interview? If offered a

n interview, what can I prepare/expect? I'm getting so nervous! I need and want this job so badly!

[BRNBSN15]

Thank you for the information. They nurse manager emailed me regarding an interview. I preparing, know why you want to work for CHOC/that unit, and prepare examples of a time when you had a conflict with a coworker, difficult pt/family member, 5yr plan. I looked up practice interview questions and wrote up potential answers.

Thank you for this information! It is really helpful. Crossing my fingers over here. I actually spoke with HR today. She said she expects the application window to close next week. I asked if they prolonged it due to low applicants and if those who already applied were not the candidates they were looking for. She said it COULD be a combination of both, but since they recently added this June start- not a lot of people knew about it. She also said there are only 35 available spots for the June program.

Hi Guys!

I applied for NICU as soon as the application process opened up and received an email on good Friday in regards to setting up an interview. I interviewed at the beginning of April and got a call last week with an offer! I'm ecstatic!!!!!! I waited for about 3 weeks for this miracle. Do not lose hope or faith! Good luck everyone! :)
