no call for interview yet. maybe i should let this go now

I applied to 5 adult positions. Are they starting to interview on the adult side?

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been receiving tons of rejections since the hunt. I think the economy has a huge impact bec. it would really be costly for some institutions to have residency programs. Are you currently working now? What's your state?

It's good to have an outlet you can spill your feelings about finding a job and struggling being unemployed. Got my CA RN license in Jan2011 and trying to land a RN job anywhere. Passed hundreds of applications online which seems like sending to a blackhole (then I learned that most employers are only considering applicants that are referred and just ignore those who aren't). Applied to diff. RN Residencies in diff. states and the competition is really crazy (ex. only I graduated last yr, I'm staling, I don't fit as a "new grad" anymore, very expensive RN refresher courses which doesn't guarantee an employment and I don't know where would I get money for that. I used to be this guy who's full of hopes, goal-oriented, productive & motivated, now I'm depressed, frustrated, stressed and broke. That's my story, what's yours?:)

Anyone heard from the Seton Select Program?

good question. im wondering as well

I also applied for the Seton Select Program and they told that they gonna start calling to schedule an interview 2-3 weeks from the July 19 Open House so you have to wait till like August 8 onward. I know it can be stressful but you have to calm down and it may take awhile for them to review like a hundred of us applicants who're applying for this 6 slots available. Our application has already been routed & approved, so far so good and all we have to do is wait till 2nd-3rd week of August. Goodluck buddy!

It's a new program for critical care under the Seton Versant Residency Program. They train the selected 6 on one of the five hospitals of Seton for 14weeks (like the way they train at the seton versant) then immediately you will fill an open position in the ICU however it may not be your first choice hospital.

critical care via seton select program

You can do it. Goodluck!

I submitted my application last June. They emailed me that my application has been approved on July and had me filled up another application. After that I attended the Open House and handed resume to the hiring managers. Then someone from the HR called me today (July 25) that my application online has been routed to the hiring managers.

Hi guys I attended the Open House event last July 19, 2011. I'm so glad I was able to talk with the hiring managers and was able to apply on the critical care field but it is under the Seton Select Program. Once selected, we will be trained for 14 weeks on one of the Seton Family of Hospitals and then fill a position once it's open. My application was routed to the hiring managers. So do I just wait for them to call me for an interview? I remember when I handed them my resume they said they gonna call me 2-3weeks if I'm qualified for an interview. If I get hired I would have to move from California to Austin. I hope they provide like a relocating assistance. Pls. do share your experiences applying for this residency program. I also wonder what kinds of questions do they ask. Goodluck to all who've applied and hoping the best for us all.

I'm applying now for the October cohort. I'm a foreign BSN grad last yr and already have a RN California license. Thanks for the advice. I was wondering if they'll give you time for my license to be endorsed. Goodluck on your NCLEX! I believe you can do it

do you have a YM? mine's [email protected]. just hit me up if you've questions

from Philippines. When I was submitting my application to the recruiter, I gave them a copy of my BSN transcript of records and paid 50bucks for the agency who'll evaluate if it is accredited. What's your state?
