Palomar Summer '17 New Grad Residency

Published

Hello! I decided to create this thread, I applied this morning and I see the offers have now been taken down. Has anyone else applied?

Also....completely off topic. I passed the NCLEX Monday, saw my results on the breeze website after I did the license search.

I was devastated when I did the Pearson Vue "Trick" because it didn't work for me. I first tried it 24 hours after the test and again 48 hours and again ever since and it's still the bad pop-up. Maybe it doesn't work for California lol. I thought I had failed, thank God I didn't!

So yeah...Palomar, I'm excited! I found out after I applied that I had passed the NCLEX and I couldn't get anyone on the phone to decide on if I need to reapply with the updated info :(. Hopefully all goes well. Enough of my rambling lol

I just got an update change stating that my application was under review and if I'm a good match, the hiring managers will contact me directly for an interview. It said the process could take up to several weeks depending on the department. í ¾í´ž

I hope that isn't true for every unit. Dang that's a bummer.

I hope not. I didn't know I had passed until that evening of the day we applied so I only have my test date which was two days before. I hate they don't allow you to update your information.

They're going to have to contact us in the next few weeks because intereviews are between June 28th - 30th.

I heard L&D was sending emails to people that were not "qualified."

It's new grad. How are we not qualified? :bored:

How long after you graduated did you guys get your ATT? I graduated early May but the BON had all of my other documents in March. My school sent my transcript on May 15th. I moved here from the midwest and almost all of my classmates have already taken and passed boards.

Mine took forever! I submitted my stuff in early Feb (Dec Grad out of state), I wanted to he sure that they recieved my transcript from my school, but no one answered the phone or responded to emails. Basically and didn't get my ATT until April. Late April. I had to contact my state Assembly member in late March to get help because the BoN claimed I didn't have my fingerprints form. When I finally got someone from the BoN on the phone I literally had to tell them to actually look for the form by its title after he claimed he looked and didn't see it. If it wasn't for me contacting my local government official's office I'm sure the wait would've been much longer. Simply because they didn't look. I felt horrible because everyone back home had tested and passed while I was here, waiting.

If you've submitted everything and there is an issue with your application I would contact your SAM. Because the BoN isn't the best.

Exactly!! What qualifications are they looking for?!

Has anyone heard anything? Does anyone know if interview or rejection emails are being sent out yet?

You guys that applied to all the positions, didn't you want to pick a specialty that you have a passion for? There are new grads with a lot of experience in certain departments. When you get the "not qualified" just remember someone was a CNA on L&D and they might already have gotten the slot. Palomar also only requires less a year of experience.

I read in a previous Palomar cohort's thread that they do panel interviews with multiple department managers and that they want to see you are flexible and willing to start wherever. I was a tech in an ICU and had my capstone in a CVICU, so while ICU is my dream job I also want to be realistic. Not everyone can start in their dream specialty. Especially in San Diego.

I do think it is odd that they allow us to apply for all the positions though! I like how Sharp has us pick top 2 departments. Weeds out people.

I haven't heard anything.... anyone else?

I haven't heard anything back yet! Anxiously waiting...
