Mine just updated to inactive and says "process complete"

mine also just changed to process complete. I'm guessing that is a bad sign

Mine updated to inactive and "process completed", I am guessing I did not get considered for the Residency program.

Yeah my school said that that means it's closed. They were told that this specific cohort was extremely competitive

apparently my friend who is in the graduate nurse program for nicu said atleast 5-6 of them are guarenteed the spots already 😞 I think there's only one 1-2 opening spots potentially I could be wrong, but they're only offering 7 spots for the nicu. (I also have not heard back from nicu either)

How does your friend know that at least 5-6 ppl are guaranteed spots? 😕

my friend said her and 5 other people got into the nurse graduate program and in the program they were promised guaranteed spots in residency and they've also had multiple staff meetings about it.

Thank you for sharing. Was your friend an internal hire or did they do preceptorship at CHOC's NICU?

Well since she applied to the graduate nurse program that opened up in February, she's been working since then, so I would say internal hire?

Anyone know how competitive making it through the interviews and getting an offer is?

Got the phone call today about what the interview entails: med math, one on one simulation, unit interviews, tours. 7 hour interview is insane.
