Hi all! After months and months of doing extensive research on this topic I realized that there is not much out there that can help so I wanted to start a thread for everyone looking into the children's hospital of Philadelphia nurse residency program that is graduating next May. Let's all tell each other a little about ourselves and keep each other updated on postings on chops website and the entire interview process. Chop seems to not be as clear about their nurse residency program like other hospitals are. I have read posts saying they upload their new grad job openings at the end of August and February and also heard that they take it down very fast.
I'll start the introduction. I'm currently a nursing student in Pittsburgh but I'm originally from New Jersey dying to get closer to home. I work as a PCT at the children's hospital of Pittsburgh and since starting a year and a half ago, I knew pediatric was my calling. My interests are in the PICU, NICU, or Transplant. I work on a transplant unit now and love everything about it.
Throughout the summer I will be stalking the career site and coming back with updates. I hope this thread helps everyone and we all end up getting awesome offers from the best children's hospital in the nation. Hope to hear from people.
I applied on for the Entry-Level RN position on March 5th, I received an email on March 29th with instructions to complete the one-way video interview by April 13th. I completed it today and should hear back within 4-6 weeks. Is anyone else is this position?
I applied for 2018 residency the first day it opened, heard back the next day to do a video interview. Within about a week of submitting it, I got another email saying I was moving forward to the "New RN Talent Pool" and would get an interview with a hiring manager when something opens up. Unfortunately, they say there's no set timeline, only that you're in the pool for a year. It's been about 3 weeks since that email, so I'm hoping something will come up soon. Good luck everyone!

I'm in the same boat. Hoping some positions open up after graduation!
Also in the New RN talent pool! Super excited but I know it takes a while. Ps to all: the CICU And the NICU aren't taking new grads. NICU usually does but they're not interviewing anyone that isn't currently a tech as of right now
I know no one has posted since April however I'm currently in the new RN talent pool and was wondering if anyone has anyone heard back yet about an interview! Any updates?
