Residency Programs

Just a quick question about RN residency programs for new grads- Is it pretty much expected that if you get into one, it will lead to a job once you've completed the program? I think a program like this would be wonderful for new grad experience, but unlike pretty much everyone else, I would NOT want it to lead straight to a job or contract because I want to volunteer/live abroad. Would it be a slap in the face to them (and absolutely crazy?!) to try to do a RN Residency program with a hospital, then decline a job so I can fulfill my dream to volunteer abroad? Any advice please???

    Don't feel committed to any program beyond your agreement!

    Most hospitals expect you to stick around for a while. I had to sign a contract to do mine. It's very expensive for hospitals to train nurses - especially in a new grad program. I imagine they would see it as a "slap in the face" if you just trained and left.

    Maybe instead, train and work for a little while, then ask for an extended leave of absence.

    I've been looking everywhere for a critical care residency program that will take an ADN. I am willing to travel. No work history. Any suggestions?

    Okay... this may be a dumb question... but do you get paid for residency or intern/ extern positions? Just wondering... I am leaving my full time job to enter into a ABSN program. I know that jobs are scarce for new grads, and I have saved enought to cover my time in school and several months after... but if I am required to do a residency without pay, I need to do some additional financial planning...

    I get paid in my current residency position. With that being said, there are some programs that do not pay residents.
