Stanford Medicine Healthcare Nurse Residency March 2024 Cohort 40

Updated:   Published

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.

It is a separate residency program from the Stanford Children's Health (Lucile Packard) Program and the Stanford ValleyCare programs.

Residency Program Pay

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:

  1. Critical Care
  2. Inpatient Medicine Units
  3. Inpatient Surgical Units 
  4. 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.

Is there a deadline to respond to the interview invite by? 

They give you a whole 24 hours to respond before they move onto the other applicant.

I haven't heard anything yet:/ but I think I put ICU #1 so IDK if that is messing my app up

I put ICU first too but got an invite for AAU yesterday. Don't give up hope! The email said they will contact other applicants if we say no to interviewing.

For those who got interviews, what day/days are your interviews on? 

I haven't heard anything and I'm starting to think maybe it's because my senior preceptorship was in the maternal child area? Curious if anyone that got an interview had primarily peds experience or anything other than adult? Maybe if the applicant pool was too big they wanted to go with people they knew really really wanted med surg and had experiences reflecting that?

I haven't heard anything either and have also had my senior preceptorship in maternal health. I am starting to think that maybe my resume wasn't that great due to having a weak employment history ?

Does anyone know if the webinar prep will be an open link invite?

I just imagine that even if you dot get an immediate invite to an interview, they'd still have us join in case other people decline or cancel their interview?

Best wishes to all—don't lose hope yet!

I noticed that they updated the website to say this:

Interview Invites are currently being sent out via e-mail. All interview invites will be out by Friday January 26th. 
Interview Prep Webinar January 9th 2024 at 11am PST - Link posted January 8th.

So maybe we should go to the interview prep even if we didn't get an invite yet?

I wonder if that means there is some sort of a waiting list and as candidates turn down interviews they send out invites to others? Yes it would still be a good idea to go and maybe we can ask them too what exactly their process is.
