Grady RN Residency Winter 2020

Published

I see a post about Grady's summer 2019 residency program but not one for the upcoming winter. I also saw that the summer application was posted on Grady's site on Feb 15, 2019 which means that the winter application may be up in August or September of this year. Anyone know how residency's work in general? For example I don't graduate until December 2019. I have no clue when I am sitting for the NCLEX at this moment. So if you apply in August or September is it just a waiting game? Also what are some of the positions you are looking into applying to? I hear that you get to choose 3 areas. Not sure how they choose you to go into one out of the 3. I am thinking about NICU, Mother/Baby, or a surgical step down unit. I hear that mother/baby and nicu is very hard to get into which is fine. If it's meant to be for me it will be.

Kind of disappointed in the pay rate. I hope that isn't a picky thing for me to say, but I was offered an ICU position at a diff hospital and pay was better. I mean I know being a new grad I should be happy for any offer but I don't want to settle for that.

If you don’t mind me asking what was the pay rate?

They said 24.68. Now I am not 100% certain if this is including critical care pay but that offer is even low for a medsurg nurse. I was thinking maybe 25 or even 26 for critical care pay.

I think as a new grad you won’t get critical care pay until after your 1st year when you complete all your required skills check off.

I know this is off topic but were you guys able to interview for more than 2 units when they had the interview days?

Yes for Grady’s nurse residency program and Emory’s. All new grads start off the same. You won’t get icu diff until after your 1st year. I am not sure about other hospitals.

Specializes in ICU.

I got an offer for 5J. Anyone know what specific unit 5J is? Also, has anyone heard back from SICU or MICU? Do you all think we can have multiple offers from different units?
