I’m sorry, maybe keep checking in case someone cancels

Just so y’all are aware - while HCA is leaving us hanging for months, they’re recruiting nurse externs who are close to graduating nursing school ? likely to take our place instead of spending money on training new grads

Has anyone heard from CHI since completing the survey for the Fall Cohort?

Hello to everyone that didn’t get residency , I just passed my NCLEX. I am confused where I can apply to cause all hospitals want one year experience.

From what I’ve noticed from applying to residencies AND normal RN jobs, residency is our only option as new grads. I applied to normal RN jobs that said an RN 1 (us with less than a year experience) was acceptable to apply but then got rejected from all of them for lack of experience. Some hospitals say they want less than a year experience for normal RN jobs, but then say if you have less than 6months of experience you must go through the residency. So we have very limited options these days unfortunately.

A residency isn’t your only option. Look for clinic jobs on Indeed. I’m interviewing with two clinics after not getting a residency

I have not heard from CHI either. I know we needed to submit the survey by the 19th. Hopefully we hear something soon.
