Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital New Grad RN Residency March 2020

[janineine]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to start a thread for Stanford LPCH’s new RN residency for Spring 2020. Application opened Oct 1 and closes Nov 1.

I personally haven’t submitted mine yet, but wondering what units you are applying to. Also, if you don’t mind sharing any info about yourself or what you feel may help your app stand out (i.e. peds preceptorship, went to school in bay area) I’d appreciate it!

Are you still eligible for this new grad program if you have 2 months of RN experience? I got an invite to interview but I already have 2 months of acute care RN experience with adults (but I was on orientation – I have not been on my own yet). I couldn't find anything about it on their website and HR hasn't responded to me either.

Hello, my classmate previously talked to a manager at Stanford and was told that if you have any experience as a RN you are no longer qualified, but I would definitely confirm with Danielle.

@Squishybear Hi! I would definitely try to get ahold of Danielle because my former preceptor had his offer rescinded because he had done 3 months of new grad RN orientation in another state

I interviewed today at 1:30 and it was only 2 of us instead of 4 like I expected! Did anyone else have that? This was for acute care, and the plan is they are interviewing all day tomorrow and will notify by email whether we are invited for a second interview on the actual unit within the next 2 weeks! Good luck all.

Hi @popkern! Is it okay if I email or text you about the setting of this interview? My interview is scheduled tomorrow at 11 an I had some questions. Thank you!

For those people who have gotten second interviews - I've been scouring the internet trying to find some more insight as to what they might actually entail but am not finding much. If anyone has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it!

[sibinatto]

@popkern It was the same for us too and the interview after us! Just two instead of four

[SFnurse2020]

@sibinatto oh interesting! I wonder what that means. What time was yours?

@_honeeyyy there was a previous post that gave the general format! It was spot on ? Good luck, you'll be great!

You guys will be just fine! Just make sure you have examples of quality improvement and evidence based practice you’ve used in your clinical, and think of what you’ve learned from each clinical story you tell. The others are just about team work, conflicts, compassionate care and things that basic behavioral questions ask. They only ask you 4 questions each. The panels are super nice so just try to breathe and be yourself! You got this ?
