Temple's New to Practice Program

You too Morningdew. What units are you interested in?

Maternity, Nursery and Neuro. How about you?

Cardiac, cardiac, cardiac :) and neuro is my second choice but my top three units were cardiac

Thank you BrianaN and morningdew. I feel prepared for the interview, but I am still nervous. Thank you again.

...and congratulations.

Congrats to all and I am happy to hear that they may open up another wave of applicants soon. Hope the grapevine is right lol!

Hi, everyone! Sorry to bother you all again, but to those who went through the New to Practice application + interview process, would you be willing to share a bit about the timeline? Like position went up in May (it sounds like?), then a month or so until call for interview?

Thanks!

I applied June 7th. June 14th I received confirmation of my application for the new to practice program by the nurse recruiter and was advised that I would be emailed once Temple decided when they were going to run the program this summer. I was emailed by the nurse recruiter June 18th to email back recommendation letters, resume and unofficial transcripts. I sent that off the same day but it was due by June 25th.

July 8th, I received a group email about being chosen to begin the interview process and screening process, the first step was the screening exams. I took the required exams July 11th. I found out I passed the NCLEX and had a license number July 12th, so I emailed the nurse recruiter and she called me later that day to schedule an interview for Monday July 16th. I got the email telling me I'd been chosen for the program on July 26th. So all in all about 1 month and a half total from my application date to being hired.

I was similar to Morningdew. By the way what unit have you been assigned to Morning?

Thank you for a thorough and quick response, Morningdew!

I still don't know which unit. I guess I'll find out tomorrow! Do you know which unit you were assigned to?
