Georgetown University Hospital New Grad Residency 2019

UTNurse2019 · Dec 17, 2018

Hi guys! I applied for the ER and I think we should be hearing back soon! A nurse at MGUH who did her residency last year said she loved it and it is a very supportive environment for new nurses!

Hi Everyone! I applied for the NICU and completed my application pretty early, I hope we hear back soon! I'm from a small town about two hours away from DC and am going to school in Pennsylvania. I think in years past they heard back around the end of this week due to all the application materials that need to be gathered by January before the interviews in February.

Hey super glad more people are finding this post! Did you guys see that they reopened the application? I checked today and it was open to apply. I'm not sure what this means and definitely haven't heard of this happening before. I really do hope we find out by the end of the week!!

I applied on the peds/perinatal track (still waiting to find out where my practicum will be). I was starting to get worried that I hadn't hear about an interview--I'm glad they haven't started sending out invites. I applied about 2 weeks after it opened. I talked to one of the recruiters, and she told me they usually get around 300 applications and really look at what you write in your cover letter since it's the only way they can really get to know you before you interview. Hope we hear soon!

Congratulations! Me too! Now I'm just worrying about what unit to put down for my primary unit of interest!

WOOHOO! Congratulations.. I know I honestly have no idea yet either. I know we have to call them too and let them know. Going to be a tough decision that's for sure

Congrats everyone!!! Luckily we have some time before we have to pick our units of interest. It's sooooo hard to choose!

I heard back too! Trying to interview in the NICU. The women I talked to on the phone was very informative when I called to RSVP. They ask whether or not you have experience in those competitive areas of interest, because if you do not you likely won't interview on that floor. Apparently as new grad day becomes closer they look at all of the applicants that want to interview on each floor and decide who will be interviewing. They may then call and ask about other units of interest if you don't have enough experience or aren't the best candidate to interview. Really hoping I have enough experience to clench a NICU spot!! Congrats everyone!!

Thanks for the info, MJ2019! I am hoping to interview for Peds Transplant or PICU. I am also crossing my fingers that I have enough experience (I'm a tech in a peds ED), the recruiter kept saying how competitive those units are. Does anyone know how many people they are interviewing?

1425oes, BSN, EMT-P · Dec 21, 2018

Thank you so much for that information, that really does help in trying to decide the best unit to give, it really puts things into perspective. So they are basically saying, there is no point in picking a floor you have no experience on? Does she mean any clinical experience or in general?

UTNurse2019 · Dec 22, 2018

They are looking for either work experience or precepting experience. Doing clinicals unfortunately does not count as experience for them. I asked because I wanted to interview for perinatal but L and D preceptors are super rare and so are tech jobs on those units.
