Ooo good luck!! A lot of people must have applied because I checked the day after it opened & most units were no longer taking applications 😳🥲 (but maybe that was a glitch? IDK). I interviewed with the NICU & start later this month. I've neve...

Hi! I'll be starting in the NICU & this was the only unit I wanted to be considered for (I could be wrong, but I think it asks if you only want to be considered for your top choice). I graduated with my BSN! For reference, I applied the ...

I didn't know Benioff offers an actual residency? I thought it was just an RN 1 position for new grads LOL. I applied to Stanford Children's for this Spring & it was easily the most time consuming process out of all the hospitals I applied to 🙃. ...

Congrats on graduating 😊! I went to nursing school here in the Bay & had been applying for residencies since September. As much as I love it here I applied to Seattle Children's on a whim just to see what would happen because it's so hard to get ...

Hi! I start their RN residency program later this month & would be happy to connect with you guys & answer any questions 😊! I saw that their application JUST opened yesterday & already it looks like most departments are no longer hiring w...

Hey! It's been a minute but as we've gotten closer to our start date, would you want to connect on Instagram or facebook? I made a page for our cohort, & have been struggling to find other people who will be joining us.

You're welcome! And congrats on accepting a new position! I precepted in a level 3 NICU, but accepted a position in a level 4. I'm in the Bay Area so I fully understand how competitive it is, especially because most of us look the same on paper/have ...

Honestly, I don't know how safe our chances are at this point. I applied for their NICU, and when I emailed HR to ask for updates about my application (which still said "routed for further consideration"), she told me that the positions had already b...

Hi everyone, I wanted to create a thread for the Seattle Children's RN Residency Program for May 2024 because there aren't any current threads! I accepted an offer in their NICU & would love to hear from & connect with you guys! For those who...

Yes, NICU was my 1st choice, & I put PICU at my 2nd! And yes, their website talks about how it's important to apply early because those who do will be the ones to receive the first potential interviews & offer extensions. The turn around time...

You're very welcome ?! I applied the day that the application opened (January 13th), & received a call from recruitment the next day to schedule a phone screening/interview & that took place about 2-3 days later. You'll do the phone ...

Hey, congrats on being so close to graduating! I did my senior preceptorship in a level 3 NICU, but other than that I did not have any NICU or peds experience (besides peds clinical in school). My initial phone interview with the recruiter was very g...

Gotcha! That's totally different than what I was thinking LOL. Here in CA a lot of the major hospitals have a "clinical ladder,” which is basically when you're considered an "RN I" during your first year, then you become an "RN II" in your 2nd year, ...

You're welcome! Where will you be moving from?

I'm almost positive that the recruiter had said rotating every 6 weeks for the 1st year, then we go to nights permanently.

Ohh yay! That's amazing!! 😊😊

Hey, glad to see someone else in our cohort 😊! What unit did you accept an offer for? I don't have any info on Seattle tbh because I'm moving up there from the Bay Area so we'll both be learning together 🤣

Great! Are clinical pathways similar to a clinical ladder? That's what most of the major hospitals here in the Bay Area have & I'd love to be able to progress if SHC has a similar équivalant.

Random question, but do they use EPIC for everything? I didn't even think of having to maybe learn a whole new EMR since all I used during school/clinical is EPIC.

Thank you so much for the links, I'll take a look! Yes, I was very hesitant (& still am) to leave CA because we're so well taken care of here & I've heard horror stories from most other states. But overall, the West Coast def seems like the p...

Could anybody talk about the patient ratios in WA? Specifically for Seattle Children's & the surrounding hospitals? I'm sure there's people on here who came from CA & we have very strong unions & staffing ratios 😅 sorry, I really just don...

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys! I had applied for NICU, but never heard anything back until I emailed recruitment/HR & that's when I was told all positions had been filled. Pretty crappy, especially cuz my app still says "router for furt...

Hey! Yes, I was gonna ask what hospital you go into because I also looked into UW for this cycle, but they aren't offering a new grad program outside of adult acute care & behavioral medicine (if I remember correctly). I'm sure it's equally as co...

YES! I said "that's a great question" or "I love this question" at least 2-3 times & if I needed an extra few seconds to answer I would also ask them to repeat it & if I could take a minute to think about what to say. I actually didn't get an...

I interviewed with 2 managers, & 1 I believe is the unit educator/coordinator. I can't put their names on here unfortunately. It was about 30 min & they went question by question as well. I also felt like I was scrambling to come up with mean...
