WHC residency 2018

Published

Just wondering if anyone knows when should May,2018 graduates apply for the nurse Residency at Washington Hospital Center ? It seems like it's is an ongoing rn residency application that is not separated by fall winter or spring graduates ?

thanks

Hey @thenurseguy88, I haven't posted enough so don't think I can reply to your PM, but here's the info:

Hey! The nursing director on the ortho floor didn't ask any clinical area specific questions - she asked about dealing with a difficult patient, time you made a mistake, time a family member was unsatisfied with their care, things along that line. I tried to work surgery related examples into those to show subject matter knowledge. On ICU they may ask a few more subject matter questions (urgent patient situations, etc), but maybe that's more to find fit for the ICU setting vs. med surg.

I interviewed on 12/13, shadowed on the floor 12/22, had an offer on 12/26.

In re: pay, it's a union hospital so you can read the contract online that includes hourly and differentials info: just search mwhc collective bargaining agreement. I don't think the pay grade changes with non-RN healthcare experience.

I live in DC in Dupont Circle and love it, but it can be pricey and a few miles from the hospital. There are lots of great neighborhoods very close to the hospital that are affordable - I would look at Shaw, Bloomingdale, Columbia Heights.

Good luck!

Hey man, I interviewed on December 4th. Just took my boards and passed so I'm good to go for the Feb start date. I'm living in Shaw neighborhood.

Not able to send PMs. I only used Kaplan and it worked for me, I passed in 75 questions. The city can be expensive but well worth it. I have two other roommates which makes it more affordable.

Hey Chris! Congrats on passing your boards! I'm currently trying to figure out whether to start on 5C end of Feb or March - look forward to seeing you there either way!

Hi I’m a current nursing student and would love to work on the CVICU floor, do you know what job you specifically applied for. I only see an RN residency application online and it doesn’t specify what unit I’m applying for.

Thanks!

Hello, I’m thinking about accepting a position on that unit! Can you tell me how you like it? How is the support from other  nurses and leadership? 
Thanks!!
