I have not, but I emailed asking about when we should hear about that. I’ll let you know what they say. 

Thank you! The workday website has changed from "application received" to "application under review" but I have not heard anything.

When I spoke to the recruiter she told me there will be a mixer at some point in November for the Winter 2021 cohort and then after that interviews will begin. The mixer is a great place to make contacts and show yourself to your fav unit from what I've heard!

Mine was 3.2 but I had good LORs and some previous experience, (I’m a second degree nurse) and I passed my NCLEX right before interviewing which may have helped. I think there was a wholistic view of the applications.

Its been 1 week since I had my interview with houston methodist.( Im not applying for new grad residency for reference)  I havent heard back till now. Should I email the recruiter to follow up  or wait. The manager said she still has to interview some applicants when I had the interview. Any thoughts?

Do you think it helps your hiring chances if you've already obtained your RN License/taken the NCLEX before applying to these nurse residency programs?

The recruiter who emailed me just called me at my scheduled time. I emailed and called beforehand for confirmation or e-invite but I didn't get a response. However, they did call as scheduled and the prescreening interview was all over the phone. She said the next step is someone will contact me within 2weeks to set up a Webx interview.
