Ouch! Found out through HR this afternoon that Washington Hospital in Fremont, CA received over 700 applicants for their RN new grad program!

It will be weeks before anyone gets a response!

Whoa, that's a lot!! Did they say anything about how many new grads they were looking to hire? I would suspect that it is somewhere in the ballpark of 10 because that seems to be all the new grad programs around the bay area are hiring. It's sad to think that there are over 700 hundred unemployed new grads, and still sadder to know that 700 is probably only a small fraction of the total number of out of work new grads. As of right now my application status on Washington's website says, " Forwarded to Manager." I would LOVE to be hired there but, I'm honestly not too hopeful. A lot of new grad applicants out there are really well qualified (or even over-qualified) with second bachelors, volunteer experience, extra certs...etc.

Oh, I might have just found the answer to my own question. I saw on another thread on this website that someone had posted that Washington Hospital in Fremont will be hiring 20 new grads for their Summer 2010 New Grad program. I don't know if this information is correct, but that would be at least some good news.

Oh, so disheartened. From what I can tell, most of these new grad positions are already slated for someone. Either they precepted there or schools have their clinicals there. Unfortunately, our school did neither so I'm one of those "faceless" applicants.

Trying to be hopeful and optimistic.

It's been awhile since anyone has updated on their status at Washington!

I also applied and my status is still "forwarded to the manager"

Anyone have any updates??

Hi there..

Nope no word from Washington and my status shows it as being that my application was forwarded to the manager. It's been a while and I know that their program begins in September.

I'm assuming they are still floating through the mass pile of applicants or they've already sorted through the stacks and have started the interview process.

I guess we'll find out soon enough!

I just had an interview with Washington. They are having first round interviews this week which was about 90 out of 700 applicants. They are looking for BSN or higher since they are going for magnet. The 2nd round will be in 2 weeks.

Good luck. Good to know that they are limiting consideration to BSN and above.

Hi Lovelee82: I was wondering how your first interview went with Washington Hospital? How did they interview you if it was not one on one?

Congrats on getting a interview lovelee82! Thats awesome that you even got that opportunity. Did they interview 90 people that week or are they interviewing 90 out of the 700 total? How was the interview? When will you find out if you got the job?

I had a group interview with 5 other people. They stated that they were interviewing 90 in the first round and about 45 in the second. They will be hiring 20 people total. I was asked for the 2nd interview but declined. The program is set to start in September. Good Luck everybody
