Thank you for this video! I'm doing my clinical for intermediate med surg and by the grace of God was blessed with a great nurse to work with. She actually recommended me to look into a new grad residency program because she noticed I'm so afraid to patient care. She is absolutely right, my anxiety gets the best of me especially because covid took away A LOT of time away from our skills lab, we lost practice to do any nursing skills, and clinical experience at the hospital was cut short :/ We were still fortunate enough to do clinical rotations during the covid but it still wasn't enough time to get the full experience.

Wow! This was super interesting! I'm not going to lie, I didn't know nurses could go through residencies till about a week ago. Do you think you could make a video going more in depth about your residency program, your experience, etc?

Hi Nikkie! Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this video! As a SD-BSN student, I'm out to pursue a nursing career that pays for my education, time, and resources because I still do want to pursue a MSN-DNP. I found this super helpful and helps me figure out what to look out for when I graduate!

Hi Nikkie. I'm happy I came across your video.
I currently live outside the US but signed a contract with an agency for a residency program since I do not have any working experience yet but I would like to know if there are free days you got during your residency program and were you allowed to work outside the facilities during your free days.

Your content was amazing. You kept the same demeanor from start to finish. I particularly loved the calmness in your voice. Thanks for the tips.

I am struggling to get my dream job in L&D. I have had 3 interviews one for L&D, one for NICU, and one for Peds. I didn't get an offer for any of them and its hard to get back up after getting pushed down so many times. Sad that so many new grad nurses have to end up on a unit they do not want to work on. There are not any Nurse Residency Programs for L&D where I live either :( I just wish that I didn't feel so alone thoughout this process.

I wish I went to a nurse residency program😭 would’ve been way easier to get into a specialty!

[elizabethbaptiste]

Very informative will be starting my cohort in a few weeks. I’m excited and nervous 😩 but I’m ready thank you 😊

Granddaughter starts nurse residency Houston Methodist 1 February 2021. Husband is an engineer in Houston so they’re young yuppies!

[AlexiaM]

I just got into an ICU externship but if I can’t get hired through the unit I will be working on throughout my student nurse career I will definitely be looking into a nurse residency program!

[beelee]

That is so interesting how your nurse residency is set up! In my residency we are already hired into a unit that we interviewed for. Crazy!

[jasss]

I kid you not, I watched this video because I was feeling discouraged about applying to a specialty unit as a new grad. Then 3 days later our school had a hospital come visit and speak about their residency program. I’m in a rural area and didn’t think we had anything like that around here. So cool!

[Jayjenk]

I’m glad I stumbled on your channel and this came up in my recommended. I have always wondered about this. As my local hospital has a nurse residency program. And have never seen a video on it. This video was so easy to follow and very helpful. New subscriber ❤️

Hi Nikkie! Thanks so much for the insight on your video. I have a question pertaining to the pay. Do you think it's wrong to ask if the hospital pay less during orientation before you get placed on a unit during an interview?

[akhilathomas]

You got after hours merch 😭😭😭♥️ . This made me love you more. You are such an inspiration to me.
Love,
Just another new grad.
