Hi everyone! Arrowhead Regional Medical Center just opened their new grad nurse program for applications. It will close in January or if they receive 300 applications. We can keep each other updated here!

Hi! I also applied for this round and was told by the recruiter that they will let you know 2-3 weeks after apps closed about interviews.

Basically waitlisted from what it sounds like, only band 1 goes to hiring event I think.

Oh wow! I hope we get an interview. So do they separate us into bands based on our NCLEX score? Or just competitiveness

How would they know our NCLEX scores? I think it's based on level of experience.

IDK LOL the email said "based on your standardized test score" so I was confused. But you're right it's probs just how they rank us based on experience. Good luck!

The bands are based on a scoring system. The scoring system is based on the additional questions that were asked in the application, like if you have EMT experience, GPA, and acute hospital experience. According to some nurses I know that have gone through the new grad at Arrowhead, Band 2 is the highest band you can be in if you were not a student nurse at Arrowhead prior to applying.  You can still be invited to the hiring event being in band 2, but it is up to the units you applied for to invite you.
