Swedish Nurse Residency Sept 2014

toucheturtle · May 10, 2014

I interviewed for the Sept 2014 Swedish Hospital residency program on May 7th. I'm waiting to hear back whether I will receive an offer. Anyone else out there playing the waiting game?

I was scheduled for an interview with the Sr. Recruiter next week. They don't have an opening for my first choice (Labor and Delivery) but I'm freakin' excited. :) Good luck everyone!

I applied on the 13th of May but haven't heard anything either... Nor has there been changes to my application status. Crossing fingers for everyone! :up:

I was offered a postpartum residency position last week. I interviewed with the department on 5/8 and was offered the position on 5/12. The HR person who extended the offer said they would be completing the hiring round for the entire Sept cohort within the next 1-1.5 months. Sounds like postpartum was one of the first to hire in the cohort.

Congratulations! How was your interview?

It was pretty much what I expected. The typical behavioral questions - working on a team, a conflict, a disagreement, why do you want to work in postpartum, etc. It was a panel interview with 4 people. They were very nice.

Oh, I see. Thanks! And congrats again for getting the position :)

Have you by chance received any additional confirmation after the phone call? I am in the same boat and she said she would be sending out emails sometime this week but I haven't heard anything. Also, any chance you asked about hours during the residency part? Guessing it might vary by department but I am wondering if its possible to have three in a row on... Congrats!

AnnieMathilda -

I haven't heard anything since I heard from the recruiter that I was being offered the job. No email, no snail mail. She said that I should be receiving a background check packet sometime in May or June. Do you remember if that was going to be in email or snail mail?

Regarding the three in a row - I know that part of the residency is hospital orientation, part is residency orientation, and the last part is department orientation. I would guess the department orientation would be the point where you might be able to request 3 days on in a row. I have friends at Swedish who have that type of schedule. Since we'll be the newest of the new, it might be hard to get 3 on in a row right away. Plus we'll need to work variable weekends.
