Texas Childrens Nurse Residency Summer 2024 Cohort

Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the impact of job offers being rescinded or put on hold in high acuity units like PACU, PICU, and NICU due to the current situation. Some users have not received any communication, while others have been reassured that their job is safe. There is uncertainty about the status of nurse residency programs and concerns about future opportunities if current cohorts are full.

When does the application cycle start? I can not seem to find it on the website.

Thanks in advance!

Did they also rescind your offer and/or put on pause just like PACU, PICU, NICU, etc? 😞

Rescinded the offer. She made it sound like that's that and no hope for when freeze is over but hoping that's wrong.

I've graduated in December and it's my third round of applications. It's looking bad for me this round again🥹

Has anyone else simply not gotten a call at all? Like my last correspondence from them was the onboarding information email.

I haven't gotten a call either. I'm hoping that is a good sign?

I'd put a call in to your recruiter or the HR person who sent you the onboarding info. They gave the impression that the whole Summer residency is cancelled and that they are not planning on hiring for fall when I asked

I've called, no one answers. Word around the hospital is that not all units were affected and there is no official word on some units. So far from what I've seen here, all the high acuity units that are higher in pay have been affected (PICU, NICU, CVICU, and PACU). But I haven't seen anyone confirm lower acuity areas, and like you see above, others have not received calls as well. IDK what's going on for certain, but I'm choosing to remain positive for the time being. I'm still sending out other residency applications though.

I just sent an email to my onboarding specialist, hopefully I hear back tomorrow. I have a friend that already works on my unit and she said that our unit is already understaffed as it is so hopefully they don't cut our residents. I've also only heard of this happening to those higher acuity units and she told me that they were already overstaffed.

Same thing I heard, and I know the PICU and CVICU took on A LOT of people for the Spring/Winter cohort so it makes sense that they'd be fully staffed. Also, the unit I completed my capstone on and got hired on was superrr understaffed while I was there in October-November, so it wouldn't make sense for them to not bring in new people. please update here if you find anything out.
