Cook's Children's Nurse Residency Program - October Cohort 2016

[isamarvalerio0924]

Hi everyone, I am graduating from nursing school in August 2016. I will be applying to the October 2016 critical care cohort. Any recommendations or advice about the interview process, types of questions, and interview process would be highly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!

Yea I actually kinda knew that they were going to call either Monday or Tuesday if you got it because I was reading on previous other treads on the website and that's what people from other cohorts had said! I was a nervous wreck until I received the phone call lol. How long did they give you to decide? I told them yes right away because this has been my dream job!

Congratulations again! That is so exciting. I have until close of business (5PM) CST tomorrow!

[cmyrha77]

Wow from the Northeast?! Do you have anything lined up over there already? If you don't mind me asking

Hey everyone! I applied for the critical care track and had an interview Monday the 11th and got a call yesterday for an offer!

[cmyrha77]

Yay! congratulations! Do you know how many people applied, interviewed, and/or are being excepting for this cohort?

[LeahLLO]

I have no idea how many they are taking or interviewed! The nurse resident I met the day of the interview said the cohorts have been getting bigger each time! But after you accepted did they only send you the email of the salary and benefits?

Oh ok! I think my friends said they were taking about 30 in total! Yea that's the only thing they have sent me! Add me on Facebook so we can take about this more! My name is Myrha Cabanas! (:

i received a call yesterday around 2pm for an offer to the critical care track! So excited! No e-mail yet, but she said it would be sent within the next 10 days. Anyone else?

Hi! We will be in the same cohort! So excited for this experience. If you want, you can add me on Facebook. My name is Kaitlin Aldrich!

Hi everyone! Looks like they're calling based on track (just guessing since I heard before the other posters and was in med/surg)...but I decided to turn down the opportunity. Wasn't ready to make such a life-changing decision in such a short period of time Best of luck to all of you, and I hope to meet you at CCMC one day! (PS when I received my offer, I was told by the director that 32 residents will be employed between all three tracks this year).

Hey guys! I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if you guys have any tips for the essay portion. I am currently applying and I am struggling with this essay. I really want to pursue the critical care track! Thanks in advance for your help!
