Grady RN Residency - Summer 2020

Published

Hi everyone! Is anyone else in the process of applying to Grady Memorial’s RN residency program that’s set to start this August?

I may be impatient (?!) but I applied a little over a week ago and have yet to hear back.

Has anyone heard anything back? Or for anyone who went through the process for Winter 2020, how long did it take you to hear back?

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that ?

Although, at least the mental health clinical sounded fun. And ahahhahaha lofi music is my go-to, too. That and some type of relaxing deep house music, whenever studying.

Stay safe! I must be incredibly lucky because my hospital so far has no suspected COVID patients!

Are you guys doing in-person testing or online? I have my neuro exam coming up this Wednesday and it looks like it's going to be online ?

I've been nonstop reviewing/studying these past few days, so tonight I'm relaxing with a movie and snacks.

Lofi can be relaxing or depressing LOL depending on what movie quotes they add into the instrumentals. The Lucifer quotes getS me every time. ?

We took our exam online. Caught me off guard. First they took a picture of my face, then they told me to hold my identification card. So now I’m ready to take the exams AND THEN they said kindly record your room and your desk ?. Very nerve wrecking. But I liked it because I’m anxious in the comfort of my bedroom. Ended up making the highest exam score. I kinda love online exams now.

Half of my family members are medical professionals and we also have not been exposed, so I guess we are pretty lucky too.

Nothing just yet, they definitely said it takes about two weeks, and I think all of us interviewed on the 24th - meaning we still have another 7 days (gahhhhhh LOL)! However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, LOL, but when I was looking at previous discussion boards about Grady's RN residency, there were quite a few people who didn't hear back until closer to 3 weeks later!

I'm just honestly trying to keep myself focused on studying & the tasks at hand for right now. As much as I'm praying to receive an offer, I'm continuously reminding myself that no matter what I hear back - it'll be the best for me. Just staying patient until next Tuesday ?

CONGRATS!!! That is awesome!!! I am so excited to hear that! How long is their externship program for? If I end up receiving an offer for the residency, I would love to come by and say hi this Summer if you’ll be there! Also, I hope you’re having a margarita to celebrate. Hahaha.

Lastly - for future folks who may come to this thread seeking info, do you mind sharing how long it took between interview process & when you received your offer? Not sure if you’ve already mentioned it on other threads regarding externship or not, yet!

Annddddd that’s when my excitement got rocky LOL. It’s suppose to be in June until August, but I was just emailed and asked can I start working next Monday.. April 6th. And I’m assuming it’s because of the pandemic. I’m thinking of getting wine but I been so lenient on my keto these past days. But ahhh wth I’ll get it. So I start next Monday. I interviewed on March 18th. If anyone wondered my timeframe. By the time I’m done it’ll be time to apply for residency so figured accepting the offer for April 6th will give me a little boost on top of the Externship.
