New Grad Looking to Work at CHOP

Published

Specializes in PICU, General Pediatrics, Pediatric Heme-Onc.

Hi all :)

I'm graduating from a BSN nursing program this May and feel passionately about working in pediatrics, specifically at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

I have experience as a Nurse Extern in dialysis/med-surg and have been working as a PCT on a pediatrics floor for the past 6 months.

I understand that they accept new grads at the end of August (and that they are a notoriously competitive facility).

I'm wondering if anyone on this site is familiar with CHOP and their hiring process.

What can I do to make myself a better candidate ?

Interview, resume, clothing advice would all be appreciated as well as any inside scoops about CHOP :p

Sincerely,

lissy1214

Were you a pct as CHOP? It is hard to get on HRs radar there especially as a new grad. Have you tried reaching out to them? Be sure to stalk their website and career postings daily. Some hospitals only put their new grad openings up online for a few hours before closing them.

No, I am not a PCT at CHOP.

On the CHOP website, it says that they accept new graduates / entry level RNs once a year and that the application for that will be available at the end of August.

Hm, I will definitely be sure to stalk their website in August.
