May I know what are the requirements for Genesis Healthcare Nurse Residency Program?

I personally wasn't told of any set requirements. The only thing I was told that they were looking for someone who has a BSN Degree, and great customer service. Genesis is big on customer service.... Thats basically it. Hopefully someone else can elaborate more on this?:)

So Bariq - how'd it go?? Are you loving where you work now?? I'm hoping that you like it and that there are no negatives about the facility itself.

Hi Deadhead 219...

I am absoluetly loving the Residency Program.... I have learned sooooooooooooo much & Genesis Healthcare has taking the time to teach what we need to know with care..... i had the opportunity to train on the Vent Unit, short stay unit, dementia unit and also a Russian type unit as well. Wow what an experience that I've had in the past 8 weeks.:yelclap: The one that I am currently involved with lasts for 1 year. I am incredibly grateful for this Program. They are starting up a new one in August 2010.

I am currently working in at a SNF on a progressive short stay unit. I absolutely love it. I am learning and doing alot. Working with IV's, PIIC lines, Wound Vacs, etc... It's just like being on a MedSurge Floor.... I have been at Genesis for 3months now and its great:)

:) I start my new grad residency tomorrow in Nj. So far it looks really organized and looks like we will get to learn a lot. We get our schedule tomorrow so I can post it so you guys get a idea of what they do. Right now with the new grad market being what it is you guys might want to look into it.

I have a question for the one girl who already did the program......how many patient do you have per shift? So far that's the only thing I'm nervous about.
