Hi everyone! Thought to start a forum for Riverside Community Hospital's staRN program that starts in September 2024. Let's keep each other updated or if anyone hears back for interviews.

I just got an email abt their hiring event/interviews! it's invite only tho so keep an eye out on your inboxes 

they're only letting us interview for one specialty tho... I wonder if they'll have us choose a top 3 or if we're only being considered for the specialty we're interviewing for? 

Same! I got an interview for the ED department

I got an email with a list of med surg units that might interview me. Would that mean I'm in for med surg?

I believe so! I got the same email with 5-6 different units!

Dang! I have not heard anything. Did you all get emailed today?

I wonder if in this case we get to choose for which we would like to interview for... there's two I'm really hoping to get into!

I got an email invite for the ED. And @User9091 I got the email today at 11.

has anyone applied to this hospital before? I saw in an old forum that they do shadow shifts after interviews? what does that mean/look like?

Basically after the interview, you're able to schedule a "shadow shift" which is where you come in the department for 2 hours and you're paired up with a nurse. It's basically to see if you like the unit/see yourself working there 

Has anyone heard back after shadowing? I had two rounds of interviews yesterday, and today I got to shadow the unit with a nurse, but I didn't really talk with the managers or charge nurses. Anyone had a different experience?
