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.

Does anyone know how many spots are available for each unit? Thanks!

does it look bad to withdraw and re-submit your application? I've done it 3 times because I keep switching my second choice unit ?

Did you have any trouble submitting a new application? I want to change my choices too, but I’ve heard that sometimes withdrawing your application means you aren’t able to reapply afterward.

Did anyone add other references beyond just the Letters of Recommendation? I have two employees at LPCH that have said I can use them as a reference but I'm not sure where to upload this info. I'm thinking maybe just a attached word doc with their contact info?

Hi guys, I applied to acute care and PICU. I am looking forward to the process. Do you guys mind sharing your stats? Good luck everyone!

GPA: 3.7

PALS, ACLS

4 years PICU, Pediatric Med Surg CNA experience

External applicant

3.94 GPA, 1 year Pediatric Med-Surge experience as CNA, external applicant (from Utah). But I heard it’s a point system. Does anyone know how that works?

personally I dont feel comfortable sharing my stats.

I interviewed last round and can tell you what I learned from conversations with other candidates and my own friends. it really felt random how they picked people, some didn't have any pediatric experience for their senior capstone while others did, some only had bls while others had pals, acls, all the extra stuff. some didn't have any healthcare related experience at all, many were external applicants but some did experience clinical rotations at the hospital. so stats were different for everyone, I think its more important on how you sell yourself in your cover letter and your letter of recs.

Hi, I was wondering where I can attach the cover letter, LORs, and the clinical hours worksheet? I noticed on the application that it only has a resume portion?

After you submit the app and your resume, you will see an option to upload attachments.

hello everyone, I just found this forum and finished reading through all the comments. I already submitted my application with the required documents combined into one pdf file and uploaded it under resume... I didn't see anywhere on the website that stated to attach the rest of the documents after submitting the application with just the resume. did I miss the instruction when it was somewhere on the website? or was this instruction given when someone called the hr? I hope they don't consider my application as incomplete or not following directions.. any thought? ?

I did the same thing! I didn't see separate instructions and a different program I applied to had me upload everything in one PDF, so I did that. I'm thinking they'll figure it out when they see how long my application is but I also re-uploaded each one individually afterwards so they can just look at the one they want if they need to.

@hopefulwithsmiles I feel like as long as any changes you made were prior to the deadline, you're fine!

[hopefulwithsmiles]

@jvt01 @amar2 I actually found this forum after the deadline has passed ? I'm not sure if I should/can go back and make the changes like re-upload each document individually. I hope they will still consider my application.
