New Grad Residencies for Summer/Fall '16

Published

Hi guys!

I was wondering if anybody had plans on applying to new grad residencies here in Georgia for the summer/fall of 2016. I graduate in May 2016, so I have now started looking for residencies to apply to. I have created a long list of hospitals that I am interested in. Anybody else considering applying? If so, what hospitals? Maybe we can keep each other updated throughout the process.

I know Piedmont will hire ADN, but you have to be extraordinary in some way as there are 5-6 BSN programs within an hours drive of Piedmont churning out new grads every 6-12 months :/

I know they do hire ADN's. I do feel that they have plenty of BSN candidates to choose from and with hospitals all concerned about magnet status I am at a bit of a disadvantage. Not much I can do about that. I can just wait and hope their is something on my resume that peaks their interest.

Nothing here. Hopefully we will by the end of the week!

So Piedmont just called me to see what areas I was interested in, and to kind of feel out for my experience I guess? She said she would be in contact with me within the next couple of weeks if they want to proceed with an interview...

I think me not doing my practicum in critical care may have hindered me. She said the managers like to see students do their practicum in critical care if they're interested in that specialty. So I'm sure I'll be forced to choose something else, which is okay, I'm not picky! I'll be grateful for the experience, then move on to the ICU when I gain my experience. So I guess we will see!

Man I wish they would call me!

good on you. Hope they get back with you about an interview.

Still hoping to hear something myself.

Did you indicate on your application which area(s) you are interested in? Just curious as in to why they are calling people if you had indicated it already?

I did... So I'm really not sure.

I did get an automated email from Emory today stating my resume has been reviewed by the talent acquisition team and that it is being forwarded to the hiring managers. I don't remember the application ever asking what areas I'm interested in? Does anyone else remember? Also, did anyone else get this email?
