MD Anderson Grad Residency Program

Published

Hello all.

Thought I would start a topic to discuss the MD Anderson Cancer Center's Grad Residency Program that is to start on June 25, 2012 and July 09, 2012. The application deadline was on April 27, 2012. Let's keep each other updated and post when MD Anderson starts calling for interviews, etc. Good luck to everyone that applied!!

Hey y'all! Just found this thread. I had my panel interview Tuesday and im seriously hoping we hear something in one week and not two! The waiting is the worst part. Good luck to everyone!!

How was it support-wise from the nurses on the unit? Were they pretty helpful? I'm terrified that once we pass NCLEX they just throw us out there and we're basically on our own. I've heard that from several grad nurses

I am already licensed so hopefully they do not throw me out there from the beginning lol. I do know people who have gone through the orientation process and they said that everyone is very helpful. You work with a nurse for about 13 weeks and build up the patients you care for and if he/she feels you are ready to be on your own then you can work on your own. But you still have educational classes, meetings, etc for 1 year.
