Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital New Grad RN Residency- Fall 2020

[hunny]

Hi! Does anyone know if LPCH will still be opening up their new grad app for the Fall 2020 cohort or if it will be delayed due to the pandemic? I know the app should be opening up in April but their website still has the info from the past cohort period.

It was Pacific time for me. Are you outside of CA?

Does anyone know if we have to fill out a paper on how we show the professional practice model?

Yes, I’m in MA so eastern time zone. I assumed she meant pacific time but that’s good to hear to confirmation, thank you!

Just wanted to say good luck to everyone interviewing for NICU today! ?I'm nervous but super excited and I know we're all going to kill it! Hopefully everyone who had second interviews hear back soon, the waiting is the worst part I think.

Good luck to those still interviewing! Anyone have any updates for hem/onc? Thanks!

I have not heard back following the hem/onc first round interviews. I know they send by end of this week.

Just finished my NICU panel interview and they said HR would be in touch within a week for us - today is the last day of NICU interviews according to the HR person that was there. So hopefully soon! I can't imagine they'd have a drastically different timeline on other units.

CONGRATS on finishing your panel interview! How did it go??

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone has had an acute care interview yet? I have mine on the 31st at 3pm. Additionally, does anyone know if they are doing second round interviews for acute care? Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone!

Hopefully well! It's difficult because they don't really ask a lot about your resume/jobs you've had other than where you did practicum. The questions are highly formatted and they have a lot to get through so there's not a ton of time to show off your experience unless you work it into a response. But everyone seems lovely and one of the nurses really did a lot to try to put us at ease, saying "I promise I'm smiling behind the mask!" and stuff like that. Now I'm debating whether or not to send DL a thank you to pass on to the panel or not because they didn't give us any contact info.

We’re you able to do a little intro about yourself at the beginning of the interview? Or was it just asking where your preceptorship was? And then straight into the interview questions? Was it just 4 questions each like all the other interviews have been?

They ask that your intro include your school, your practicum site, and the qualities you feel you would bring to the residency program. Everyone has 2 minutes so being concise/not rambling is important. Everyone got four questions, each from a different panelist and going in a different order each time (so I only had to answer first once). All the questions are different even within the same category so you won't be giving the exact answer that the person before/after you does. At the end you get to ask one question to the full panel. ?
