Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2021 Applicants

[jfrances]

I wanted to start a new thread for those of us applying to Houston new grad nurse residency programs to ask questions and share information.

I am brand new to this site so I hope I'm doing this correctly... Good luck everyone!

I have no idea. In the email it also said second round match days will vary so I think people will continue to be contacted if positions don’t fill.
 

Honestly, this entire process is tougher than I expected. Like only 2 positions are open per floor...ridiculous. In my Methodist interview she made it seem like if I had already taken my NCLEX that I would’ve been prioritized. So I think ppl that graduated in December are being put ahead of us. I take my NCLEX April 9th so maybe that’ll help. 
 

Don’t lose faith! 

I thought we have to graduate before taking NCLEX. is it possible to take it before graduation? I was just wondering since you take yours in April

Yes the spots are so limited! Most units take 2-3 new grads max. It's almost impossible with thousands of applications smh.

Just had my interview for Memorial Hermann Memorial City Neuro ICU! General interview questions asked. This was my second time interviewing with this unit (I had already interviewed back in October for the Spring residency.) It was a video interview for the first 5mins but internet was weird so it turned into a phone interview.

in my email reminder for my interview with CMHH, they said they had over 1200 applicants for this cohort.

I'm thinking TCH was around the same so with that many applicants I don't know if they're gonna be calling everyone who applied

Hmmm. Well I got the "Why ICU?" question but other than that not really. I got behavioral such as "Tell me about the time you made a mistake/helped a coworker." I got to ask questions for the last 10ish mins. I didn't get any knowledge questions.
