Hi Everyone!
Wanted to start a thread to meet and chat with any new nurses starting the ICU nurse residency this Spring (April 2023). I'll be in the Nicu East!
Hi! I applied for the nurse residency medsurg/ED on March 21st. I was just curious if anyone around the same application date has heard anything back yet? I've heard very quickly back from Penn & Jeff so I am just a little worried that I haven't heard back yet. I know they let you know either way, so I shouldn't be worried... but of course my nerves get the best of me LOL. Thanks in advance for any help & best of luck to everyone! ?
Yay! @momsnbabies973. I do find it strange that I didn't have to do any virtual one way interview. The recruiter just gave me available dates to come in person after my phone screen. But it may be different for other units. Im just glad you heard back and the ball is rolling ! ?
I am at Orientation right now! Do keep in mind you have to pass a Med math exam your second day. But it is so easy! And you get other chances for remediation.
@NurseBaeB if you don't mind me asking how does the pay compare to other positions you applied for? I am from NYC and their starting pay is around $105k
I love CHOP so much that I feel like even if it is significantly lower I can't pass up working there.
Not at all ?. Nurses in nurse residency make about 39 dollars an hour starting out. When you complete your first year it gets brought up to $46 dollars an hour. If you aren't a new nurse you start out making $46 dollars an hour. It is a really nice hospital. The people are all so welcoming. Haven't got on to me unit yet but I'm hoping that's a good experience as well!

Oh okay. Yeah try again and see what happens. The only other thing I can think
of is they may be holding off interviewing for May graduates and focusing on April/March Graduates right now . Definitely keep me posted if you hear anything back from them. I'll be praying for you that you get something soon ? .
