Starting a thread for the New Grad program starting March 2024!
Note from allnurses Staff
As this is one of our most popular new grad residencies on this forum, with hundreds of threads over the years, the allnurses support team wanted to share some additional information on the residency program.
Good luck to all!
Stanford New Nurse Residency Program
The Stanford RN Residency Program, which started in 2006, is one of the most sought-after residencies in the country. The Winter 40 Cohort has a start date of March 18th, 2024.
The pay is competitive at $81.69/hour plus shift differentials:
10% evenings
18% nights and
5% weekends
Interviews
Interview invites are scheduled to be sent out at the beginning of January, with the interviews taking place from January 29th- February 9th, 2024. There are two separate interviews:
Panel level: an approximately hour-long virtual group interview with 4-5 candidates; each applicant will have an opportunity to answer all the same questions
Unit Level: a 30-60-minute interview with the hiring manager and potentially other members of the leadership team; this interview could be virtual or in-person
Specialties Offered
There are four specialty areas that participate in the new grad program:
Critical Care
Inpatient Medicine Units
Inpatient Surgical Units
Inpatient Oncology
As well as some additional specialties (subject to change). Applicants are asked to rank their preferences, but you will only be interviewed for one specialty.
Congratulation on your new offer! I am so happy for you! I am here still waiting for an interview call... if you don't mind, could you give us some advice on how to make our application stand out or maybe share about some experience you have had in the past? It seems like you were stellar given you got two interviews and one offer! I am planning on re-applying but I really don't know what I should do to stand out ?
Thanks so much! I appreciate that. I had an ICU preceptorship and also worked as a nurse extern in the CVICU, which apparently isn't as common on the west coast so I think that helped me stand out. I put a lot of thought and heart into my application questions and made my answers very personal to show off what qualities and experiences I think make me unique. I would say don't hold back and pour your heart out in your application. I only had my BLS so I wouldn't worry about getting all the certifications beforehand unless you don't mind spending the money. Mainly have confidence in yourself and know that you have a lot to offer. It will resonate.

You are too kind. I appreciate that. You're going to land a position in a really solid unit. You have my full support. ?
I received an offer this morning to interview with Clinical Trials & Nursing Research. I have accepted a position elsewhere so I declined the interview. I hope someone else gets it! Good luck everyone!
