Just wondering. Did anyone hear anything about specialty placements? Some people said their interviewers said not to even think about specialty because it's not likely going to be offered, I haven't seen anything about them, but it seems like maybe others have heard something else?

I haven't heard anything. I know when I put down my preferences for shifts and units it wasn't an option to select it. I hope they start offering them in their new grad program, lots of programs do now

Every time I see an email that is not is the offer letter I am disappointed. The email I got last week said to disregard my unit, schedule and shift that I would receive in the official offer letter this week, and that I would get my schedule two weeks prior to starting.

I talked to someone and they said that there are no specialty placements being offered to any of the nurse residents because all spots were taken by Kaiser employees first. 

I feel like it's a bit of a bait and switch.

Of course they were! I feel the same way. Bummer. Thanks for the follow up.

You mean you received a survey to prioritize the shifts you wanted and then they sent you that follow up email?? May I ask what location you got accepted for?

 

I sent an email to inquire how we were notified about our offers and they said no later than 3/24, otherwise they'd let us know they were extending it (just fyi).

 

Bummer to hear no specialty placements are being offered. ?

So I got a call from TA on the 16th to offer me a spot in Oakland. Then she sent me the generic acceptance email that was sent out on the 10th and then I got the "thank you for filling out the survey" email, even though, I never filled out a survey. I assume this is because I was a late acceptance and my overall score.

Yeah this is rough ?

I hope we get the offers soon because it's still unofficial and I want to be excited already! I'm starting to get a bit nervous considering some of us turned down other offers for this
