Seattle Childrens Residency Fall 2021

Published

Hi!

Applications for the Seattle Children's nurse residency open up on May 3 and the OR residency application opens sometime in April. I have been working towards the OR residency, but I am applying to both because I am dead set on moving to Seattle and Seattle Children's is my #1 choice. 

I have loved watching people on here talk throughout the application process, get hired, and start making their moves! I would love to connect with people who are applying to either the OR or the regular residency at Seattle Childrens and other Seattle area programs!

I just applied to Harborview the other day for their residency and periop 101 programs too!

I'm not an employee currently, but I did use to volunteer there.

Yep! Everyone I know that was invited yesterday is already an employee. 

That's awesome! Hopefully, starting today they'll invite external applicants. I'm also coming from across the country and hoping that doesn't ruin my chances.

I live in Florida so I hope that doesn’t hurt my chances. I have all of my stuff ready for a Washington license but still people get weird I feel when you have to move for a job. How many spots are there for this residency cohort? 

No idea! I know it’s super competitive because they cancelled all the residencies last year. My assumption would be that you have a better shot if you’re going for acute care as they hire more there. I applied for critical care which is a bit more competitive, in my experience.

I put NICU, medical as second and float team as last choice but I said I would take anything as well LOL.

Best of luck to you both!! It’s also hard because the ED and CICU aren’t hiring this round, so there’s less options. Maybe we’ll all be coworkers ?

I received an invitation to Interview as well yesterday and I was an external applicant! Although, I did have my senior practicum there.

Haven't heard back yet either... fingers crossed!

Hi Everyone! I just interviewed on Monday for the OR position. I will be moving from Chicago if I for sure get it. I would love to meet up with people who get into the program I’m 23 years old, with a year of experience in telemetry as a RN. 
 

I also applied to Harborview but did not get an invitation to interview there. I did get an interview for their UW Northwest campus for the trauma OR.

That's awesome! I was hoping for an interview for the OR at Children's but I havent heard anything so I'm thinking it's probably a no.

I did interview and get an offer with Harborview in their OR though! 

Im moving from Colorado, So it might be nice to meet anyway even if we arent at the same hospital ?

Hey, definitely! My name is ———- on facebook. Message me! I did receive a verbal offer for the pediatric OR but I don’t count it unless it’s in writing.
