Swedish Nurse Residency for May 2014

Published

Hello everyone! I just applied to the Nurse Residency program at Swedish in Seattle, WA for the May 2014 cohort. Anyone else in the same boat? Getting excited? Would love to hear from folks who started in previous cohorts.

Thanks!

Thank you for this EclecticGal!! Can we ask you more questions about your experience, if you don't mind?

You can ask, I don't know if I can answer all your questions, but I will try.

Would you mind sharing how your second interview went? What was it like? What questions were asked? Thank you!

I think early May, judging from previous cohort posts on allnurses. But I'm not entirely sure.

Hi guys! Do you think it'd be a good idea to follow up on this app? I really want to move to Seattle! Also, I can't find any numbers or emails for HR.. does anyone know? Thank you :)

Hey guys! I'm looking into applying for the residency starting in September. I cannot find any contact information for the nurse recruiter and was wondering if anyone has it. Thanks! :)

Hi kaitac - my understanding is that the application is available at swedishcareers.org for one week only three times per year. I would maybe start checking in late April/early May to see if it's up. Fill out the application and submit it over the web. Hope this is helpful.

The second interview is a panel interview so there will be a few people in the room. The only advice I can give would be to think of different situations you encountered in clinical where you learned something new, dealt with conflict, made a mistake etc. Have examples of times you had a positive impact on your patient and talk about it. Think about why you want to be a nurse and why you want to work on the specific unit. Be yourself.

Thanks :) Was it your sense that many people in your cohort were able to find job placement on the floors that you precepted on?

I can't say for the whole group but for the ones in my smaller group there was. They are training you for a job that they need filled.
