GrenIedGal BSN, RN

CONGRATS! So you have a few (under 6m) RN experience but are still hired as a new grad? The website was worded a bit confusing: "CHOP hires Registered Nurses with 1-12 months of RN experience into Nurse Resident positions. These nurses will be offere...

For those doing the WGU FNP program, how is it going? When does the clinical/lab portion start? How far into the program until it's no longer just online/didactic coursework? Thanks! :)

Hi! For those of you who started the New Grad program earlier this year, how is it going? I am curious about the structure. I hear you have your 3 clinical shifts, plus one 4h class/month (for 6 months) with the whole cohort plus unit specific bootca...

California (San Diego) which is how I came across the program and why it could be ideal. :) I was actually looking at WGU's FNP program but I would need to be in CO (or one of the other 11 other approved states, they aren't approved in CA yet.)

Thanks for the reply. My first BS was in psych. Sounds like a great plan. Follow your heart!

Hi Linda, I see you're in peds and doing the FNP program thru USU. Are you planning on specializing as PNP after? What state are you in? As another peds gal, would love to connect. :)

Is anyone in CA, especially San Diego (local to the school), doing the USU FNP program? Would be curious to hear how it is going and where your clinicals are.

Sure! I didn't want to ask all my specific questions on the thread that wouldn't be applicable to everyone but happy to share! In a nutshell (and Jbrn you can correct me if I misunderstood), my broader questions were in regards to clinical timeline a...

awesome. I'll pm you.

Anyone in the new FNP program? Would love to connect and hear info!

Here to do the same. :) When did you graduate with your BSN? I am a WGU BSN grad from early 2019. Looking forward to more information and I reached out to their enrollment team as well.

For those who accepted the offer (congrats!) and started the residency in the Summer, how is it going? Any changes with COVID? (Are classes online, smaller groups, etc.) Anyone know if they are being more lenient with the grad timeline of having grad...

How is the program going? I'm looking into it as well. Would love to hear more! :)

Last I talked to the recruiter they had no idea. Just told me to keep checking the website for updates. That was about 3 weeks ago.

I don't have experience with UCHealth in particular but most residencies want to see you do your final preceptorship in the unit you are most interested/applying into. You said you don't graduate until May 2021, so try to set yourself up for a critic...

I wonder, does this mean the July posting (for fall) won't happen?

Any insight? Wondering if the Summer cohort is slated to start and if they will be posting the fall cohort in a few weeks as intended.

Has anyone heard if Rady will hold their Summer cohort? If not, will they use those applicants for the next round whenever that is held? Any insight is appreciated! ?

Not sure if it's helpful, but I had a conversation with their nurse recruiter just before the application opened. I applied last round to NICU at Mission and she told me they did hire last round for the unit, but ONLY internal (I was not internal.) I...

Yes I figured that would be what happened but I am pretty sure I submitted and didn't save as a draft. It was so long ago now, I can't be sure but that would be a HUGE bummer! I kept checking to see if I could edit and submit but there was never a bu...

Mine never changed from "draft submission: Active"... which is really confusing that it never even went to "completed submission." Did I mess something up? Did yours show 'completed submission' when you submitted? The 'draft' is oddly worded. I reach...

My app never changed from 'active' draft submission, oddly. Wonder if I'll get a rejection. Good luck to all! ?

Possibly PSC or volunteer? I'm not sure either. But they definitely want to see a dedication to CHOC AND why are you passionate about that specific unit! She said they will hold interviews either by distance or in person depending on the unit. They a...

I talked to a CHOC recruiter on Thursday, apparently they did take NICU last round but hired almost entirely internal.
