So I called HR a couple of times last week, and all I was told was that they were still having meetings and making decisions and had yet to send out recommendations. No one has been able to tell me an expected date that candidates will be notified by. Has anyone else been able to find out when MD will be making phone calls or emailing candidates? Is the residency still supposed to start on the 28th? That's just a week away....=/

Thanks so much for the update Patience2011! They finished interviewing a week later than what I was initially told, so it makes a lot more sense now why we still haven't heard from them yet. I thought for sure we would have heard by the 2 wk point which was Monday and then when that didn't happen, I got worried, so it's good to know what's going on. You don't happen to know how many they interviewed do you? I seem to remember the recruiter saying that they were interviewing 50, but perhaps they ended up interviewing more seeing as how they lent an extra week to interview more applicants? And rookie RN-BSN, it's hard to say what to do in this situation because you want to let them know that you are still interested, but at the same time you don't want to come off as pushy or annoying. I guess I would call at least once? I don't know what the best thing to do is, but I called HR once to explain my situation about having another job offer that I needed to make a decision about and to let them know that I preferred MD and then I left a voicemail for the recruiter that I had my interview with, but I haven't heard back from her yet.

Haha let me know if HR is able to give you any kind of helpful information. The recruiter who I had my interview with told me they were hiring 30 new grads, but now that I'm thinking about it, 30 seems like an awful lot. However I wrote down 30 in my notes, so I'm preeeetty sure that's what she told me, which is really exciting!

Seriously, what is going on? The start date is less than two weeks away. One of my friends also interviewed and is in the same position as the rest of us, so I guess they just haven't started contacting people yet? I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to stay sane waiting on them. We just got to stay strong together, haha

So Monday has come and gone =( I was hoping today would be the day, but alas I didn't hear anything. Still no word?

I'm currently living in the DFW area, so I'm grateful that I'm not super far away. Luckily, I have a friend who lives right around TMC(she works at Memorial Hermann), who is the best and is going to let me live with her for the time being if I get the job, which is a huge blessing. Waiting has been so hard. I'm trying to stay optimistic, without getting my hopes up since it is after all the best of the best when it comes to cancer hospitals. It's crazy to think that we could possibly be starting this amazing residency in 2 weeks, eep, keeping my fingers crossed for the both of us! I will definitely let you know if I hear anything

Thanks for the update Cindyrella! I called an HR rep from nurse recruitment yesterday and she had no idea when they would be making decisions. I told her I had another offer that I needed to make a decision about, but that MD was my #1 choice and she said she would have one of the recruiters "reach out to me." Not exactly sure what that means, but I'm not too hopeful that I'll hear from a recruiter since it sounds like they are really busy right now. I really want this job too! I can't believe the residency starts in two weeks. I'm not even from Houston, so two weeks doesn't give me very much time to make that move to Houston.

Has anyone heard back from MD Anderson for their GN Residency that begins on November 28, 2011. I had my interview with them October 31st and was told that that week would be the last week of interviews, so I figured they would have started making decisions by now. The start date for the residency is right around the corner so I was wondering if anyone has heard from them or has any updates on the situation? Thanks so much!
