JPS Residency July 2017

[PD82]

Hi guys!! Anyone else apply to this residency?

Does anyone have any insight on this residency or know anyone who has gone through it?

Thanks!!

[PD82]

Oh wow! could you transfer to a new position at cooks when in doubt?

Yes, I can, but not in the main hospital until I've got some BSN courses completed (which I plan to start in July at UTA).I could transfer to the urgent care or specialty clinics which wouldn't be too bad, but I really would like to start in the hospital!!

No updates today the wait continues!!

Oh wow, really, a rejection email? I'm glad that didn't happen to us!!

Yeah, like the next day after applying!! So I'm not sure what the criteria is but they were definitely screening apps!

@PD82, LVN When are you starting UTA? I'm going to do the on campus RN-BSN starting this fall.

Wow that is crazy, I did not know they were sending rejections that fast!

@Nurseannblessings- I spoke to my UTA advisor and she said I need to have my transcripts in by May 19 to start on July 3rd (I am eager to get going LOL). I take my final on May 4 or 5th so I am hopeful to make the deadline!! I am doing the online route so I can work full time....I have heard some of these residences are very time consuming.

And yes, not everyone got a email from JPS for the next steps (essay, references, etc). I was surprised as well because I figured everyone got a email.

@PD82, LVN- Thank you for the information. When will you be done considering that you are starting the program July 3rd and the course load you will be taking? I do not want to spend more than 12 months doing the RN-BSN, I would like to be done with it in fewer than 12 months if possible. I am debating rather I want to do in class or online now since I am applying to different nurse residences in Houston and Austin. I am also taking chem 1 in the fall, so I will need more time to be able to do everything. I am turning in my transcripts May 1st and will have made a decision by then. My program end's June 9th. If I did the online program I would be on "provisional status" until I pass my NCLEX and turn in my final transcript.

If I do one class at a time, I think I can be done by next summer, considering there are 8 BSN classes needed. Luckily UTA has many class start dates, and shorter class lengths, so I think it will be very accommodating with work.

A recent ADN grad from my program accepted a residency position at a HCA hospital and they actually advised him to wait a few months before starting his BSN because that specific residency program is quite intense. So I think that's a good question to ask during interviews....

[Nurseannblessings]

Okay. That is one thing I like about UTA you can get in and get out!

@PD82, LVN- I just submitted my supporting documentation! The wait for me begins *bites fingernails*

[PD82]

*gulp*

Same here. In the back of my mind I'm stressing out like "what if they didn't receive my email...." or "what if my instructor didn't send their reference paper in..." lol....so nerve wrecking!!

[lbroberts265]

Did they email y'all saying they had gotten all the documents? They never emailed me!

[Lauranoel]

I never received an email..

[PD82]

They did not email confirm to me either
