As a new grad, I was hired at Temple and completed their nurse residency program. I highly recommend it

I think it’s a GPA of 3.0 or 3.2 as a requirement. When I did it, I had to complete and exam and then based on scores, they call for interviews. They select a certain amount of people. They ask alll types of questions. The nurse residency program was a year long. IDK if it’s changed since then or not. The instructor is wonderful. You have orientation but each month For the year, you also have a residency class. They do simulations too, which help especially if you’ve never used some of the skills you’ve learned in nursing school.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I was also wondering if you could answer how did you apply to this program? Because there is no listings on the website and also when did you apply and when did you hear back. Thank you so much!

I applied to a regular RN job posting. At the time, I was unaware that Temple even had a nurse residency program. I was contacted shortly after applying and was asked if I was interested in their nurse residency program. HR provided me with some information about the program. From the time applied until the time I was contacted about the residency program was about about a week or 2? I scheduled to sit for their exam about 2 weeks after that. A week or two after the exam, I was contacted for an interview. The whole entire process from applying to starting the job took about 2 months. But throughout those 2 months, I was in contact with HR pretty regularly.
