USC Keck New Graduate RN Residency Program September 2020

Published

Hi everyone! I decided to start this forum I am starting this forum as a place to discuss the USC Keck RN residency program for the September 2020 cohort. Hopefully we can shine some light for each other on where people are in the hiring process.

I was just offered a position for the Neuro ICU! I am so incredibly excited! I know they hired 2 people for this unit, but I am not sure about other units, or if all of the offers have gone out yet! Wishing everyone the best!

Hi all. Out of curiosity is anyone able to tell me how many cohorts they have per year? Is it just a September and April cohort? I graduate later this month so I missed the cut off for this round of applications but am wondering when my next chance will be. I know Cedars Sinai does four a year but cannot find much info on USC. Thanks!

Have everyone heard back with the offer from 5North (Cardio-Thoracic Telemetry) yet? It has been two weeks since I interviewed with them, but I guess its probably a no and I will move on haha

I haven't heard back after my interview (Surgical Telemetry) either! Do you think they are done hiring? I have not received a rejection call or email.

Yes, two cohorts per year of about 12-15 new grads depending on the needs of the units. Good luck to you!

I also interviewed with 5N and have not heard anything. Silent on everyone's end other than ICU it seems like!

I am wondering the same because I can’t find anything online about next year’s cohort. Does anybody know the starting pay?

Hello everyone, internal applicant (that doesn't mean I'll get hire, easly). According to most coworkers, including that got hired into residency program. It's very difficult to get into USC Keck. Few years back, they said, USC had >500 nurse residency applicants, but only <50 got hired. Many internal applicants didn't get hired. I heard, 1st they prioritize BSN and up candidate. Because of this, I had to forced myself to registered for an online school at Chamberlain university for bridging RN-BSN-MSN program just so I have more chances to get accept it and I can put it on my resume that I'm currently continuing education. Anyway, I haven't submitted my applications. Still waiting the letter of recommendation from my nursing instructors. Honestly, I'm so stress and nervous about this. But guys, have a faith to yourself, at least try to apply. You never know about the future, you might get hire even though you don't meet the qualification. I really need to submit my application. The deadline is getting closer and closer.

Hi Shawn, are you still working on neuro ICU floor? I'm currently working there as float pool PCT. I'm going to apply for August cohort 2021. If you do still working, I have questions. Email me at [email protected] Thank you
