    RN4LOVE replied to txgal123's topic in Texas Nursing

  4. Seton Versant Residency Program

    RN4LOVE replied to txgal123's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on the positions that are left. I'd say wait for one more week, and just give up for this cohort. It's competitive. They told us on day one that they had...

    RN4LOVE replied to LaurRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am in the current versant program that's about to finish up, and on the first day you can wear business casual or navy blue scrubs. It really doesn't matter. You pretty much just sit there. As for...

    RN4LOVE replied to txgal123's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. Seton Versant Residency Program

    RN4LOVE replied to txgal123's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello BRP RN! Yes, they will call you. However, I would just say be patient. They called me very late, so don't give up hope yet! Oh, and if it hasn't been "routed" then it means your file isn't...

  11. RN Versant Program-Austin

    RN4LOVE replied to Gradnurse7's topic in Texas Nursing

    RN4LOVE replied to Dublin37's topic in First Year After Licensure
