Austin/Seton Questions

I'm looking into jobs in Austin, at Seton specifically, and I'm unclear on a couple of things. First, is my ONLY option as a new grad to do the Seton Versant/RN Residency program, or can I get hired on and not go through that program?

I graduate May 1st and it looks like the Versant program starts June 15th. This is a bit too soon for me to start, because I have a house to sell and must move from North Carolina to Texas. Can I "defer" my start date in the program to the fall date?

Any knowledge you can share would be appreciated.

Thanks!
