Hi all, has anyone heard any news or gotten an interview for the Keck Versant Aug/Sept 2017 Program yet?

Hey Jazzminh, Did you notice in the interview invitation email they ask you to include "one department of your choice" in your portfolio cover letter, but then on the new grad residency info page on the Cedars website it states all nursing residents...

Anyone hear anything back for the Summer Cohort?

Congratulations, AJ!!

UWorld all the way. I did the content in Hurst (only because I got it for free). The questions and rationales on UWorld are unmatched compared to Hurst and Kaplan. And UWorld is a bazillion times cheaper.

Good luck on the boards, AJ! One step at a time ;0)

Not my intention at all, AJ. You got the interview! That means they liked what they saw on paper, and that's half the battle with a competitive school like USC. You got this.

Well Congratulations AJ. Yes, I'd say that's some pressure there ..USC being your first interview. I don't know how many interviewees or number of positions there are. I'd just say have plenty of nurse/patient success stories to tell, and have a good...

Which department are you interviewing for?

Congratulations to you ;0). I applied to CVTICU with Cardiothoracic Surgery ICU as a second choice. What FB groups have these type of updates?

Congratulations, Oakdene44. Is that the department you asked for?

Hi Yoshi.O, Thanks for responding. Do you know when they sent those? ..and how'd you find that out?

As of this Monday, recruitment had gone through 200 applications out of approx. 800. They said they won't be changing statuses until all applications have been gone through.

No, because it was lots of random hours.. I just added the month/year on the right margin.

I followed their example with the chart, most recent dates at the top, and only included internships/externships/volunteering that was in a hospital/ clinical setting. Other volunteer stuff I added at the end of the resume since I had more important ...

Hi js1991, I would mention in your cover letter the fact that you didn't get your preceptorship of choice, and that you are most interested in X department (throw in a few reasons you'd be a good fit for that dept.). Reiterate which department you f...

Very helpful, thanks. And in regards to the recipient info on the cover letter, did you just put UCD's general address. I don't see a nursing recruiter's name to address or a department. Thank you!

Hi there, can someone tell me if during the application process they ask your department(s) of interest? For instance, do they take new grads in ICU? I don't see it on the website FAQs. Also wondering if there is a one or two page max for resume. D...

Hey Jake, If there is no status change, is there any type of notification that you're no longer being considered?

Hi mbruce328, you are the only one I've noticed who's applied to the same departments I did. Would you mind if I ask the background/certifications you have? I'm so confused as to why I haven't had a status change yet. Thank you!

Any status changes for NeuroICU or CTICU?

Not yet but keep the positive vibes flowing! Still at least a week left to be hopeful for a status change!

I heard from someone else who applied last year that they had a status change early on but didn't hear about an interview until nearly a month later. Seems there is no set schedule to go by.

Hi Michele, Can I ask what day you submitted your application? I'm trying to figure out if they're processing them in the order they were received. Thanks!

I submitted my application on the 8th. I'm wondering if they are looking at them in order of receiving them. I'm trying to stay positive. I was so confident at first haha. Maybe this is the universe's way of keeping me grounded. I talked to HR yester...
