Looking for New Grad Residency Programs in Miami

Nurses Career Support

I'm graduating in December from a nursing school in Galveston, Texas (just outside Houston) and I am looking to relocate to Miami. My husband's company is opening a location there and honestly we are looking to get out of Texas. I have reached out to several of the large hospital organizations and from what I have found many don't start opening applications until sometime in November. I am starting to get nervous because many of the students in my cohort have already accepted jobs in the Houston area. We had more resources like email reminders of application dates, job fairs, and word of mouth for those staying in the area. So I am just wondering if there are any new graduates in the Miami area that can help me out with what they have heard about new graduate residencies in the area.

Just for a breakdown of what I have found:

Baptist Health South Florida - Versant Nurse Residency - opens sometime in November

Memorial Healthcare System- has a residency but it's only open to their scholarship recipients now and will open up for other applicants sometime in November

Jackson Healthcare System - haven't found anything about a residency program online

University of Miami - only accepts graduates from their SON

HCA - applied to the StaRN program but haven't heard anything back about when they review applications because they don't have a set deadline for applying

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
