Piedmont New Grad nurse Residency 2014

[BGsparkle82]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to start this thread because I am very interested in the Piedmont New Grad nursing residency program summer/fall 2014 in Atlanta. It will be nice if you could share your experience or share your thoughts about anything. Did anyone apply for the Summer/Fall program yet?

Well I'm not sure if I should call... I just want to know! It's hard to stay positive. Your classmate who got a rejection last week, did they interview?

Yes she did interview.

Nothing! I haven't heard anything from them since I applied for the position. I haven't even received an email saying they're not interested. I called the other day and the lady that answered the phone was very kind but said she couldn't tell me anything. All she said was that all updates or changes would be posted online.

I guess no one heard anything? !

Nothing

Not a word:no:

Any ideas on what to do?

I can't remember how big they said the residency was going to be... Does anyone know how many people are in the CV residency?

I received a personal email from a director who interviewed me saying for his unit they took 3 people who did their practicum in that unit to fill the only 3 positions they had for his unit. He said I was on his short list of candidates and asked me to come back after a year experience. Still haven't heard anything from any other units...but I was told if you didn't hear anything in two weeks that meant no and they don't keep up with sending out rejection emails very well. Also, you can never get in touch with anyone there...

Thanks for the update.

Well today marks the three week mark, still trying to stay positive!

Does Piedmont strongly consider you if you are out of state?

No phone call, no e mail. I guess no news are still good news
