Spring 2014 New Grad Residency Programs -Denver

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

Hi all,

I am finishing up a BSN program in Arizona and will be moving to the Denver area after graduation. My husband has been transferred and is already working there.

Thus far I have applied to UCH's residency and Children's. I did my preceptorship in a level 3 NICU and really hope I can get a position in a NICU. Wondering if there are any others out there not so patiently waiting? I thought obsessing on here might keep me from checking my application status 20 times a day. I know they posted time frames for scheduling interviews - doesn't seem to help:->. Gonna be a long couple of months.

Also, anyone applied/accepted to these programs (or others) in the past have any tips, advice, words of wisdom. I'm a strong student academically, lots of volunteer work with children, 2nd degree mature (aka older) student. Any insights on the type of students that usually get accepted to these programs?

Nothing for me from Children's either. I'm really glad I finished classes because I can not concentrate on anything. Patience is NOT one of my gifts. Hopefully we hear something first thing Monday.

Fittness Trying this again . . . don't know where the other post went - AN blackhole at work again. Anywho. Congratulations on the interview. Do you mind me asking what area you put as your preference for UCH? I'm of course hoping that they are doing it by department and my preference just didn't make contact today . . . a girl can dream. Sigh.

Got an email from UCH today - NICU and Birth Center. I am officially excited. Maybe this knot in my gut will go away now.

I know this thread is about residencies in Denver, but someone mentioned UCH at Memorial in Colorado Springs. Has anyone heard from them regarding their residency program that starts in February? I submitted reference info at the beginning of December but haven't heard anything since. Thanks!

@ Our.Inn- I applied to the residency program at Memorial. Sadly, i was rejected last week. You have to go into the career page to assess the status of your application. It was here that I found out. The recruiter told me back when I submitted references that we should hear by the end of last week (but will def know by the end of the month) if we would receive an invitation to the hiring fair. Good luck to you! I hope you made it!

Thanks, hwngrl. My status hasn't changed at all on the application page. Here's hoping I'll hear something in the next couple of days! Good luck to you, too. :)

Well - I can finally (hopefully) get rid of that knot in my stomach and that reoccurring nightmare that I went to nursing school for nothing and end up selling my car to pay my school loans. I was offered a NICU position with UCH today! Woo hoo!

Thanks lkk0718. I'm so excited. You have an interview at Children's right? Good luck. At first, my ego was a little bruised I didn't get an interview but I think UCH is the perfect fit for me. Plus I don't think I could have handled taking a test at the interview. As it was I couldn't think straight I was so nervous. Good luck.
