It doesn't seem like all units have set up interviews yet. Could they still be calling this week and interviewing next week? I remember HR telling me managers would call late May to early June but with the start date being so soon it seems to be cutting it close! I know all managers have different schedules but this is driving me crazy haha

I am new to this thread but I think its a great idea. I am also a new grad currently looking for a job in the Bay Area. What I hate the most about not finding a job is all my friends saying "But isn't there a nursing shortage?" A little frustrating and makes me feel like a failure - hard to cope with being the perfectionist types that we are as nurses! Anyway, I found this website through Facebook and it lists an impressive amount of new grad programs by state and summarizes each with a link to the hospital website. I thought I was looking at all my options but this definitely opened my eyes to more and I wanted to share! rndeer.com Definitely worth checking out!

Hey! I am also looking into new grad programs in the Bay Area and am quickly finding out how difficult it is to break into the market. I found this website through Facebook and its really helpful! It lists new graduate programs by state and summarizes each program with the link to the hospital website. I usually just use allnurses for my information but this is pretty great. RNDeer.com

For those of you who received an interview already - first of all CONGRATS! - second of all, do you know if they are only interviewing on specific days? I've heard from some other people that there are only two possible days later this month as choices for interviews. Does anyone know how many people the managers at Davis typically interview for each position?

This is driving me crazy! Did either of you have contact with your manager since your interview? It was so long ago and because I'm paranoid it makes me think they somehow forgot about my interview and if they liked me or not haha Do you know how late they interviewed? My interview was the second week of January so it makes me wonder how many people they interviewed for each spot available.

I called and asked the human resources office and then they connected me to the woman actually in charge of the Nurse Residency Program. She told me on Friday that she was starting to call people but she wouldn't be done until the end of this week. And I asked specifically if we would know either way and she said you would get an email if you were not selected. Now that I know to expect an answer this week it's driving me crazy! I'm scared to check my email haha Let me know if you hear anything! Hopefully we'll both have good news soon :)

I think they are calling this week! Supposedly you get an email if you are not offered a position and I think everyone is supposed to know by the end this Friday. I had an interview back in early January so I'm just glad the wait is almost over!

Hey guys! I have been trying to find online where new grads apply for Northwestern and I can't seem to find any postings on their website. Do you know what it is under? I am not from the area so I know very little about the process. I know its extremely competitive but I thought I'd apply anyway and see what happens. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I my old email that is used for this website is out-of-date so I didn't see this before I had my interview My email is [email protected] - I tried to email [email protected] but it was just sent back to me. Any further information would be great! I was asked for my references the day after my interview and they were all submitted within 48 hours at the end of last week.

Hey! So I applied to the new grad nurse resident program for Summer 2013 and just heard back from the recruitment office. I have a preliminary phone interview next week and was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on what to expect. Are they just going to ask about my interests or will they get into my strengths/weaknesses and clinical type questions? Does anyone know what the rest of the application process is like assuming the phone interview goes well? How quickly do they fill their positions?

I'm going to email you. my email is [email protected]

Cathylady- I found your daughter on facebook and added her. She was very helpful! I'm sure I will be asking her many more questions as it gets closer to the fall. Thank you again! allenaa - I am looking for a place to live. Are you definitely going to be looking for a roommate in the fall? I heard that the student housing is really hard to get because it is limited and I don't want to end up in a freshman dorm because I live in an apartment now where I go to school and it would be hard to readjust to living in a dorm room haha. Is your apartment furnished? How much is rent/utilities for you? I can give you my email if you wanted to talk through that?? I read that you were on the VCU soccer team - that's awesome! I lived in Germany when I was in high school and played on my school's team and a german club team. I lived there during the 2006 world cup which was really cool too. I like finding people who play soccer because where i am now (the midwest) its not that popular.

Okay, thanks so much! Just tell your daughter to expect a facebook message from a girl who goes to the University of Illinois (UIllinois) because that's the network I belong to.

Thank you for the information! I wasn't able to get reach my adviser today but I'm going to try again tomorrow. It would be great if I could get in touch with your daughter and I'm sure very helpful. What is the best way to do that? Again, thank you for the help.

I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today!! I live in Illinois now but my father is in the Army and he is being stationed in D.C. this summer which is why I planned on going to school in Virginia. Do you think you could ask your daughter what dorms are the best to live in if you are a nursing student? (I was thinking about Ackell, Cary and Belvidere, and Broad and Belvidere for dorm choice). Also, are there any programs for nursing students that allows them to room together? I am going to call my academic adviser on Monday to ask her a couple questions because I have never visited the campus before. Any other information from you or your daughter would be greatly appreciated!
