Hello!
Wanted to create a post for the RN Residency Program January 20, 2025! Any calls or interviews?

So tell me about yourself and that just led to other questions. I truly got lucky with getting into Huntington hospital as I noticed that a lot of the new grad nurses were already working as a CCP or student intern there. I think there's around 20-30 new grads in different units and possibly that number changes each cohort. Good luck!!
Thank you for sharing. This may be a little personal but may I ask what the starting rate for new grad is generally? Also if they offer both day shift and night shift?

It's 43.90 base pay for 8 hours. And 1.5 for the last 4 hours for a 12 hour shift. And if you're nights, then there is a night differential. So it averages about $56/hour for nights. The 43.90 is base for a lot of the educational part of the program like seminars, skills, and modules.
