Lucile Packard New Grad RN Nurse Residency 2015

Published

I've been reading through old threads about Lucile Packard's New Grad RN Nurse Residency program but couldn't find any info or threads about 2015. The application period just closed, who else applied? What unit are you interested in working? Any past cohorts of the LPCH new grad program willing to share their experiences? Anyone have any info about the program that they can share?

Hi all-

Quick question- there is an upcoming new grad program at Lucile Packard and I just have a quick question about the references. On the website it says "two school of nursing clinical faculty" reference letters. Does this mean two letters from clinical instructors or can they be course instructors/lab instructors? The "clinical faculty" part threw me off and makes me think they should be from instructors who have seen our performance in the hospital setting. Thanks for clarifying!

I really want to apply to the new cohort but I did not precept in peds. Would this be an issue?

Hi, I think they mean clinical instructors who could write about your work in a hospital setting. I used LOR's from a Peds and Med-Surg clinical instructor and I'm currently in the fall LPCH residency. Good luck! :)

Hi! I'm currently in the residency program at LPCH and I know a handful of us didn't precept in Peds. I did make sure my Peds clinical instructor wrote an awesome LOR for me with examples of my care. Good luck!

Specializes in Psychiatric RN.

hey guys, would anyone be willing to share any pointers on the application process? Gonna apply before the 10/12 deadline and any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA~

Hey guys,

Just wondering, did anyone get an offer from previous cohorts who don't have a recommendation letter from their Peds clinical instructor?

Thanks!!

Hi there,

I am wondering does CVICU hire nurses who only have acute peds experience? or do they only hire nurses with critical care experience?

Specializes in ICU.

My friend tried to get a job there with Critical care exp and got no calls. She had the slightest idea what they are looking for. I guess just apply and see what happens.
