Penn State Hershey's Medical Center GN Residency 2012

Published

Hey everyone.

Thought it would be nice to start this thread. Has anyone applied for this residency program or has been through this program? I just applied to the program and am curious to learn more about this program. Anyone went through the interview process? What's the nursing interview like and how is your experience working there? Any tips and information is greatly appreciated :D

Hopefully we'll find out soon sometime next week or the week after that. I'm really nervous. The nurse recruiter mentioned that 255 applications were received and 211 applicants completed the Questionnaires. I don't know how many of those 211 sent in their portfolios but there are only 56 positions available for the Residency program. I'll post more whenever I hear something from Hershey! =)

Lynn mentioned in her email that she's on vacation next week so it looks like we have to sit tight until the last week of October. Don't be nervous - actually if there were 211 applicants and if not all of them completed their portfolios, I'd say the odds are pretty good! Good luck! :)

i hope so too guys. But I do like the idea that they might hire more than 56 if the nurse manager likes you. I don't know if I can wait for another week. This is killing me

do you happen to remember what dates in November were selected for interviewing? I was picked for jury duty and I'm hoping they don't conflict provided I'm lucky enough to get one :p

hello JoeNurseRN,

I have not heard anything back yet. This past week Lynn was on vacation, so I think we will be hearing back through email sometime this week. Good luck!

I'm so glad I found this because I forgot that Lynn was going to be on vacation and I was starting to get really worried that I had not heard anything. Hopefully we'll hear something soon!

What areas did people apply for?
