Gwinnett Medical Center Nurse Residency August 2014

Published

Hi,

I wanted to start a thread for those of us who applied to Gwinnett Residency program. I received an invitation for their new grad open house, which is required to be considered. However, I am from California. Did anyone else apply and receive the invitation?

How was the open house? Just curious... Good luck I hope you hear back from them

@thehopefulone It was good. Its a good opportunity to go directly to the unit you prefer and talk to the unit managers. But you are also in the same room with about 30 other applicants. There were 4 different rooms separated by specialty: Critical Care, Med Surg, Maternity Service, and Emergency Services. There were about 5 different units in the rooms I went to: Medsurg and Critical care.I was able to talk to 6 different unit managers and give them my resume. I spent about 3-5 min talking to them. But the pressure is on to make an impression. Most units I talked to were only hiring about 2-3 applicants, some only 1. There were a lot of other applicants but not 250 like we had read before. Maybe less than 100. My rooms had about 30-40 other applicants. But then you were able to go from room to room after about 1 hr so it fluctuated.

Thank you for sharing. It sounds a lot better then I imagined. But for now I'll just keep my fingers crossed for Emory. I hope you get it good luck!!

Nothing here. I keep hoping that any day I'll hear! What about you?

Nothing yet. I'm afraid that if they do call me, its going to be at 4-5am due to the time difference. :sleep:

In other news, I just got the Emory questionaire so I'll be working on that.

@atlantanurse123 did u hear from ER today?

I got a call this morning from a blocked number but was unable to answer and no voicemail was left. I really hope it wasn't important :nailbiting:

@oopsiedaise sadly, I did not hear from them. I don't actually know anyone who did though but I suppose they have told those they are interviewing. That's exciting you got a call-I'm sure they would have left a message if it was important! But I understand-I hate the feeling of now knowing!

I think most of the interviews were arranged via email. So I would not worry about the call.
