Northwell Health RN Fellowships Oct 2021

[ceo118]

Hi!

Just wanted to create a thread on here for the October 2021 Northwell Health RN Fellowships so we can keep in touch with one another. I'm a soon to be graduate nurse and have an interest in ER/ICU! I just applied to both positions today. Looks like they opened on 8/17/21. Hope to chat with you guys soon!

has anyone received an offer for the Perioperative fellowship?  I had my interview last week on Thursday and was told I was the last candidate.  Congrats to all who have been offered positions!!

Hi! Do you mind if I ask at which hospital your periop fellowship took place?

For those of you who made it in:

Do they allow you to use vacation time/PTO? I know there's a 90-day wait from the employment start date before you can begin using it, but are you allowed to use it before the fellowship is over? Thanks.

Hey guys!! Can anyone that was accepted into the Critical Care Fellowship at LIJ provide a break up of the schedule? I was told the first 5 months we work and have classes every day but if someone can further expand on the program that would be great! Thanks

Not sure if you still need this info, from my understanding it would be the same as North Shore University Hospital's layout for Critical Care fellowship or at the least very similar.

Phase 1 (8 weeks): Didactics - ECCO modules broken up into schedules for the week ( they take a lot longer than outlined and require studying - to be successful of course) In classroom learning days - varies each week, usually at least once a week to go over your assigned topic to write up on and work on a group case study, and at most 2-3 days in classroom. One day a week (for us was fridays) for simulations (about 3 hours) and when all assigned coursework for the week was checked : ECCO modules + iLearns. One day a week (for most weeks) on the unit in either an 8 or 12 hour shift depending on how the week scheduled following any preceptor.

Towards the end of phase 1 - learning shifts to allow for unit based learning time, mostly at home, or split up days to cover specific skills/training specific to the units, ex: some units cover Lumbar drains, Impella, LVADs,  

Phase 2: Assigned a preceptor on days/nights - however your unit structures it and follow your preceptor(s) schedule. (8-12 weeks : depending on whether you have experience or are a new grad and how well you do during phase 2). 

Phase 3 : There is no phase 3 unless you are a new grad, new grads start residency classes during phase 3 that meet once a month. 

Hope this helps. Just be prepared on phase 1 to dedicate a lot of time to studying and keeping up with the learning as it moves fast.
