USC New Grad Versant RN Residency Program September 2023

[baconavocado]

Hi all,

     Creating a thread for those of us applying to connect with one another. The website currently lists June 5, 2023 - June 19, 2023 as the application window for the September 11, 2023 cohort. However, I do see what I believe is an open posting at this time. Also wondering, did you guys single or double space your personal statement?

Thanks!

does anyone know when the pre-hire testing is? & any tips on the EKG exam from the zoom session? I was not able to join the review ?

The testing will be in a couple of weeks. The RN educator will send us the PowerPoint. You need to know the ACLS algorithms (including bradycardia, a-fib, and tachycardia), interventions, doses from ACLS protocol and various cardiac rhythms. There will be about 20-30 questions. It is not an open book exam, but I think it's not time-limited (you upload the pdf file with answers). 
I wonder how best to prepare for the medication administration exam. Any thoughts?

do yall wanna make an instagram groupchat or something so we can ask questions and stay connected since we're all in the same boat LOL :')

Good idea! Can you please post a link here? 

[Rose_Queen, BSN, MSN, RN]

There are two approved ways to create a special place for your cohort.

One: create a facebook page. This link may be posted.

Two: Premium members may create a "club" by clicking on the Breakroom link in the yellow bar to the left of this page. Then click on "Create A New Club" in the green bar at the top of the page, and follow instructions.

References to other than these two avenues will be moved from view, to comply with the Terms of Service.

 Thank you.
