NurseBAP

Hi I am a NICU nurse of 2 years working full time at my current hospital. I am interested in cross training in postpartum but I'm not sure if my hospital has this opportunity at the moment. I was going to look into seeing if the postpartum unit had any PRN positions available. But I was unsure if I could work in the NICU full time and the postpartum unit PRN at the same time at the same hospital? I only have NICU experience so I didn't think getting a postpartum PRN job at another hospital was probable without having any postpartum experience. (I don't even know if it would be possible at my current job never mind a different hospital) I just don't know if a unit will take the time to train me for only a PRN position. I would love to gain some postpartum experience but don't want to stop working full time in the NICU right now because I am hoping to start travel nursing within the next 6 months and want to be able to say I have 2.5 years of NICU experience as opposed to just 2 years. I also am contracted with my current hospital for the next 6 months regardless, which is the only reason I am not already traveling. If I did get a PRN postpartum position, I would be willing to keep this position even while I am traveling, because flying back to my home base a couple of times during a travel assignment to work my PRN shifts would be an option for me. I know there is a lot going on here lol but anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance

I still haven't heard anything yet, I haven't gotten any emails at all, and my application status says inactive. I'm thinking that means they didn't select me.

Did you ever log back in and check your application status? Like did it say "applied" or "under review" or "not selected" or anything?

Has anyone started applying to Orlando Health's nurse residency program? I submitted my application on September 16th and haven't heard anything! Just wanted to start a thread so we can chat and keep each other updated on our status and interviews etc.

Have you done a video interview too? I haven't even been contacted to do that so now I'm nervous

I haven't heard anything at all so far, ugh that makes me nervous

One of mine changed to under review and one still says applied! Also, under my applications, I only have applications saying 1st choice and 2nd choice, do you guys have one that says 3rd choice too or the same?

I applied as well!

I applied as well! I turned in my application on Friday. I'm from out of state and applying to many nurse residency programs in TX and other states! I didn't even know there was an open house

Hey guys! The application for the nursing residency program at Children's Medical Center in Dallas ended today! I noticed there wasn't a thread about it yet! I found out about it last minute and just submitted my application today! Anyone else apply for the February 2018 start? Lets keep in contact!!

Hey guys! I just found out about this nursing residency program, and I graduate in December, so I'm looking to apply for spring! I'm hoping I didn't miss the application dates! Anyone else applying for Spring? Also, previous people accepted: Did you have a super high GPA or a lot of work experience or really good recommendations? What do you think helped you to get accepted? And any advice would be greatly appreciated!
