Hello Fellow Student Nurses!
I was wondering if anyone has heard back from Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center (Chicago, IL) regarding acceptance into their RN Residency Program at this point in time? If you have, please share your experience here!
Thank you,
Illinois Student Nurse
did anyone take the pep and got '[color=#7d7d3c]candidates must receive a passing score in order to continue in the selection process. at this time, you will not move forward in the selection process for positions that have patient contact. you will be eligible to re-take this assessment in 6 months.'[color=#7d7d3c]
is this a fail?
Yes, that is a fail.
Just as it says you will not be considered for any nursing position for 6 months. This means that your applications in the future will go nowhere. After 6 months, you can apply again, take the test again (if offered to you) and the same will apply - you have to pass it to be considered.
It's a stupid test. The only way to pass is to answer the questions as if you were an idiot. Remember this advice for next time.

The people I know who got interviews are both very good students, and they have jobs working at a hospital. I'm not sure how that factored into it, but I'm sure it did somehow. I'm sure that they have good recommendations since they work in a hospital. Their school is also well known and as far as I know they had a good, diverse experience in their different clinical rotations. I know someone else who applied and didn't get called for an interview, and the only difference is that she doesn't have a hospital job right now. They are all great candidates, so in the end I'm not sure what their recruiter sees in some but not others!
