    Hey guys!!!! I am also applying to the Seton residency for the October cohort! I am an accelerated program in Jersey and wasn't able to make it out to the open house this past week. Anyone who went, how'd it go? Did you get any information as to when they may start to contact people after the second round of review/interviews coming up. I am confused as to whether they will be contacting people on August 1st, or if they will begin to review w/e applications are there by this date and then choose applicants they want to interview. I am hoping that because its the October cohort, the number of applicants will be slightly lower, but either way I'm doing the best possible. To the current nurse residents, I am going to be in Austin at the end on August, and wanted so ask some advice, as to whether I should try to set up something to meet with the managers in person, or what? I am hoping by then I'll know whether or not I am going to be interviewed or whether I will have to wait and apply for the Feb. cohort.... just wish getting hold of someone on the phone was easier but it is what it is...... any advice would be appreciated

    Hi guys I attended the Open House event last July 19, 2011. I'm so glad I was able to talk with the hiring managers and was able to apply on the critical care field but it is under the Seton Select Program. Once selected, we will be trained for 14 weeks on one of the Seton Family of Hospitals and then fill a position once it's open.

    My application was routed to the hiring managers. So do I just wait for them to call me for an interview? I remember when I handed them my resume they said they gonna call me 2-3weeks if I'm qualified for an interview.

    If I get hired I would have to move from California to Austin. I hope they provide like a relocating assistance. Pls. do share your experiences applying for this residency program. I also wonder what kinds of questions do they ask.

    Goodluck to all who've applied and hoping the best for us all.

    I also applied for the October. I have already taken boards, and passed. I am also starting my RN-BSN in the fall. I missed the open house, and sure hope it wasn't too late to even put my app in, but I called and the machine said they were still taking applications. I did see they are having a hiring fair on August 4th. Definitely thinking about driving up there for that. Just praying I get a job...somewhere!

    captain byakuya,

    How long ago did you submit your app and references before the status changed to "routed". I just found out about this last week, hence why i couldn't go to the fair, but sent in my app today with all the materials and will be faxing tomorrow the NCLEX registration paper. I guess I'm just a bit nervous that even though the first round of reviews/interviews just happened and the next one isn't until next Monday, I won't have my stuff in time to be considered. I graduate from an accelerated program in a few weeks and have 2 other interviews lined up, but this is my top choice, so I am hoping that if something happens I would know before finding out form the other places. If anyone has any info on timelines please let me know! Thanks and good luck to my fellow October 2011 applicants!!!

    I submitted my application last June. They emailed me that my application has been approved on July and had me filled up another application. After that I attended the Open House and handed resume to the hiring managers. Then someone from the HR called me today (July 25) that my application online has been routed to the hiring managers.

    Don't feel bad I just applied today too. Although I have already graduated and taken boards so I had less paperwork to send in.

    It took them over a month to let you know that your application was approved??? Wow I hope things work out since I have about a week until the second review of apps, but I guess they will if they are meant to be.... we shall see. Thanks mllnjill! Good to you
