Updated:   Published

Hi Everyone,

With the applications coming to a close yesterday, just thought I would start a thread for the Rady Children's Hospital New Grad RN application that just opened up for the Spring 2020 cohort. Good luck to all who applied!

Yes, I got the offer for CVICU.

I think I am going to go with a different offer I got. how about you? the 5 months of low pay would be difficult

For those of you who received offers, would you be willing to chat with me? I did not receive an interview and am hoping to get some insight into where I can improve my application for the next round. Thank you in advance.

sure! I honestly think they really just care where you had your preceptorship. I wanted to work in critical care and last round I applied to PICU and didn't get an interview at all. This round I applied for hem/onc and got an interview/offer. ( I did my preceptorship in peds oncology/bmt unit). This doesn't just go for Rady, but for other hospitals as well. I didn't get interviews last round but this round when I put onc as my top choice for places I got a lot of interviews. In my experience it just seems like places really want to interview people who had a preceptorship in that specific specialty

Can anyone share more information on the nurse residency base pay? and what you mean by 5 months of low pay? Thanks!
