Trinitas ER Residency program

I doubt it would put your resume on the top of the stack at our facility.... However, with the number of open recs we have, I'm not sure you would have to get to the top of the stack to get noticed these days. lol

Hey guys

I wanted to give you all a quick update. Yes I did apply for the residency program and I got into the program. The main reason I wanted to be in the program was because of the experienced that it provided because I already had most of the certifications (you have to take your PALS, BLS, ACLS again even if you already have them). They were 5 of us in the program and from my understanding they will only be doing groups of 5 from now on. At the end of the 12 weeks all of us got a job offer. Chances are if you get accepted in the program you will get hired because they have a really high turnover rate. Out of the 5 of us 3 left and I think 2 are still working there (did not keep in touch with them). I am glad that I did the ER residency program because I discover that I absolutely love the ER setting, I love the fact that as an ER nurse I have more freedom, and I love the fact that I do not have to deal with the same pain in the ass patients. To be an ER nurse you have to have a thick skin because anything can walk into the door, and you have to deal with everything. I am currently an ER Nurse at an another facility and I absolutely love it. I love the team work, I love the fact that the nurses are helping each other out and my patient ratio is awesome (4:1), and I don't get treated like an idiot if I don't know something......If you want to apply go for it because if you can make it at Trinitas you can make it ANYWHERE.

I know this post is a couple of months late, but I am looking at their residency program now. Did you graduate from a BSN program? Did you have any PCT experience? Did you do any internships/externships? I am just curious as to how selective they are in choosing the 5 individuals.

Did you apply? I'm also thinking of applying to this program.

Hi! Not yet. I am in the process of applying. I am still debating on whether or not I should do it, but I am getting things started if I decide to go through with it.
