Portland RN Residencies, Summer 2015

Published

Seems like it'd be nice to have a thread up for anybody applying for the Legacy or the Adventist Versant programs, there's got to be a few people going for one or both! Word has it that Kaiser is also starting a new grad program but I don't have any details about it.

I'm interviewing for both programs, hoping for something in the critical care/cardiac stepdown/ED universe. Anybody else?

I applied for the Legacy Residency Program. I would also like to hear from others to see their thoughts on the process and whether or not they think their initial interview went well and any advice for those of us that may apply again. It was a little intimidating to see the number of applicants applying. Does anyone know how many overall residents they are taking? Thank osbick bird for starting this post.

I applied for Legacy's women's health residency program. My interview went as well as I could have expected... A lot of it depends on if they're hiring on the unit or not.

I haven't heard back from the unit and am keeping my fingers crossed.

Some stats I've heard through my nursing program: there were about 1800 applicants to the program, my guess is that 800 people were interviewed, and there are about 43 spots. That's the just hearsay in my nursing program, so take it with a grain of salt.

I work for legacy and remember seeing a recent memo that 800 applicants for 40 spots. So I think your school was correct.

p.s. I love working at Legacy! Good Luck to everyone trying to score a spot.

Oh, do I hate waiting. Living in suspense has never been my strong suit! Thanks for the little bit of extra information, guys. Eight hundred applications might take some time to sort through! Good luck to us all!

I applied to the Legacy program and did their pre-screen in-person interviews. I thought it went well. There as a ton of applicants though. I haven't heard anything yet about a second interview. They said we could receive calls up to a month later about a second interview and then a month later for the job offer. I wonder who has time to wait around that long?

I got a call this morning and have my second interview set for June 10th

Has anyone heard from any of the pediatric units? I cannot believe how many applicants there were-- and we thought nursing school was a competitive market!

Has anyone who applied to Adventist heard back yet?
