Tristar Nurse Residency Summer 2018

Published

Hi guys! I just wanted to start this for anyone who applied to the Tristar hospitals in Nashville, TN for their nurse residency program. I know the applications are open for a really long time period, so I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how long the process takes once you apply. Good luck to everyone in their searches!!

For those of you who have accepted positions, when is your start date? Mine is June 18 but I'm nervous because I don't think I'll have my license by then. TN says that it takes 4-6 weeks to process your application but you can't apply until after you graduate and I haven't graduated yet. Anyone else in the same situation?

I'm in the same situation! They said we only have to have our test date within 75 days of when we start.

What unit will you guys be on? Also, I heard there's a Facebook group for this cohort, have any of you been added to it? I'd like to be added so I can get to know others who will be starting At the same time!

Is it only 75 days before or after as well? I am having an internal panic about everything, especially since I'm moving!

I'm going to be working in an ED! I am not on the Facebook group but that would definitely something that I would like to be apart of! It would be so beneficial to see if others are in similar situations as us! I heard that there's a large social where all the nurse residents get to meet each other, so hopefully that's true because it would be nice to get to know people since I don't know anyone in Nashville yet!

I know I feel the same way. I'm coming from California and won't be able to move until the week before we start, it's so overwhelming! When is the social? I would love to be able to attend that!!

Also, I'm sure they understand it takes a while to get our test date so I'm sure they're not expecting us to have it right away

Does anyone know the title of the Centennial Residency cohort? I emailed the coordinator asking and she never responded. I want to get to know people before we start!

Any word on finding a Facebook group for all of us?

I had my new hire orientation today where you submit all of your immunization records and paperwork and get your ID photo taken. She said that a big email will be going out this Friday, June 1. So everyone keep a lookout!

Thank you for the update! I was going to call tomorrow asking when I needed to set up my pre-employment physical/health screen. Did you call to get yours done earlier or did you get an email already?

I just got an email about scheduling my New Hire Appointment and it also included the instructions and timeline for my drug test. I had 72 hours from the time I received the email to go complete the test.
