Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital New Grad RN Residency March 2021

Published

Hi all!

Lucile Packard just opened their next round of applications. Just wanted to start a thread to talk about it! This is my second time applying, and it was so helpful to have support from one another. 

Are you applying/did you apply? What units are you most interested in?

I applied for PICU and Pedi Acute ?

@rnajx did you already interview? Hope it went well ? did they happen to say how many they are interviewing and hiring for the different critical care units?

I interviewed today. No they didn’t mentioned how many people they were interviewing/hiring. Said they had one more day of interviews (the 6th) and we’d hear back the week of the 18th.

I hope it went well! Do you have any advice for those of us interviewing on the 6th?

Just be yourself! Everyone was very nice and all of the questions were fairly straightforward. It helps to think ahead of time about certain clinical experiences you had that were impactful or stood out. 

Hi everyone, congrats to everyone who have gotten offers for interviews! I will be interviewing next week and I wanted to ask if you were planning on providing a nursing portfolio. If so, how were you planning on providing it?

Hi! I interviewed today and I don’t think there’s any chance to provide a nursing portfolio. They have a set format and they keep everything pretty organized and on time. My friend interviewed last round and said they specifically asked not to send emails! So I would wait until you get an offer for the second interview because I heard that one is more personal. I’m not sure though! It’s my first time interviewing haha!

if anyone has better advice please feel free to chime in ?

Hey did they say when they will reach out for second interviews?

Also, I heard the same thing as you! I believe they are not expecting a portfolio or thank you letters.

They said our application status would be updated on the week of the 18th but considering the last interviews for critical care were today I’m hoping it’s sooner 

If we have updated transcripts and resume, do we upload online where we submitted our application?

I would probably ask Danielle. I’m not sure they would re-check the system for new uploads before the interviews 

Does anyone know if they will be conducting second interviews for critical care? I know they said we will hear by the week of the 18th but I’m so anxious to hear back, haha

I was also wondering the same thing! Fingers crossed we hear something soon!

Last round some units held second interviews and others didn’t (to my knowledge critical care was one that did second interviews, but considering it’s the 13th I’m guessing they might not this time around)! I didn’t have a second interview last time, just the panel then we were notified if we got the position (definitely nerve wracking but we are all in this together ?)!
