The interview process felt disorganized and the hiring manager was not very responsive. The benefits offered are not great and the pay is below average. They seem to overwork their employees while offering low compensation. Management appears to be somewhat uneducated. I'd recommend looking into other health systems that are more employee-focused.

Behavioral Case

The application process for the Nurse Residency Program was straightforward, but it's important to be patient as The Children's Hospital (TCH) can take a while to respond. I applied for the Summer 2024 cohort, which involved submitting a general application including a letter of recommendation, an essay, and my resume. I recommend having these documents prepared in advance. After submitting, you'll rank your unit preferences, with many residency positions typically available in the TMC. My timeline was: applied in February, received an interview invitation in March, and had my interview the last week of March. I received and accepted a job offer for my first-choice unit just a week after the interview.

I applied through the website and heard back the same day. They offered an interview two days later. It was a really easy process. I spoke with the Educator and the Manager. Everyone was nice and it was a good experience overall.
