Hello all,
I will be graduating October 2021 with my ASN/ADN however you wish to refer to it. Due to covid, I have had no clinical experience (bummer I know). I am very nervous, yet anxious and eager to get into a residency program. I plan to do a 1yr residency and then start my RN to MSN program (while fulfilling my commitment to the hospital post residency). I am looking at John Hopkins Nursing Residency and I am not sure when to apply. I see a select few jobs currently posted and they mention (October cohort) or (November cohort). What is meant by the cohort month, is that the start date? The ones without a specific cohort, do they start immediately? Do you wait to apply to a specific cohort that you will be eligible for? Based on graduation date and needing to take NCLEX, how far out is everyone applying?

Start applying from now or speak to the hiring managers. I graduate December and already got an offer to start on Neuro IMC for Late February. The cohort start date stated it was for January. Shoot your shot.

Thanks and same to you ! how do you feel about the cost of living in Baltimore versus the pay ?
honestly I wish the pay was better bc I got an offer from MAYO and the pay was much better
do you know anyone who has made a groupchat for Feb cohort residents or is there a facebook group or somewhere where I could connect with more incoming grads?

I'm starting in January in another unit! I've moved from other big cities and honestly, I think the JHH pay is super low for the area (at least if you don't have a car and need to be somewhat close to the hospital for buses, etc). I was offered almost double the start pay in NYC. I guess JHH knows that their name holds a lot of weight LOL

I just accepted a job at John Hopkins. Looking forward to moving from California to Baltimore in September. Does John Hopkins have a set program date of when the new grad program starts? I wonder if I'll be starting later than my cohort.
Congratulations! They start a new grad cohort each month, so they'll just start you with whichever cohort is slated for the September start date. So I wouldn't stress!

HELLO GUYS!
I have an interview next week for two different units in the ICU! I’m super nervous yet super excited! Praying I get an offer.
Congratulations to everyone who’s received theirs and good luck to those who interview next week!
can anyone tell me anything about the questions they usually ask?! I’m having a virtual interview for an hour since I live in Florida! Any responses are helpful! ❤️
