  5. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you got to that stage it means you will get an interview! They do the references simultaneously while scheduling you for an interview, so I am sure you will hear back within the next couple of days...

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    @cardiacnurse17 I have not heard anything back yet. I put my preferences as ED and med/surg. One specific unit I applied for was the Issaquah surgical floor. What were your

  7. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    @agirlhasnoname It was an online application in which you included your resume and cover letter. It then asked some very basic multiple choice questions like if you have worked for Swedish, did...

  8. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    So just some information from a phone conference I participated in today. There are about 1000 applicants for 80-90 positions. They typically interview 3-10 people for 1 position, but are trying to...

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    I haven't heard anything back yet, I did my Hirevue interview a little over a month ago. In an email I got it said we should hear back August 21 - 31, but that those dates were subject to change....

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    I know you didn't ask me specifically, but I was contacted by email and the email had gone to my junk folder so make sure to check that

  13. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi Jadebsn, Yeah I am finding it a little strange I didn't have a phone interview, and instead (so far) just about a 45 minute HireVue interview. It went well, gave you a question and then you hit a...

  14. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    I submitted an application in May for August cohort. I just heard back from Swedish last week (7/6/17) and I am doing an interview tomorrow through an internet site called HireVue, where the computer...

  15. UW or WSU Spokane. Can't decide!

    coug_nurse replied to subsub's topic in General Students

    I would say I feel supported by 90% of my instructors (there are a couple not as nice ones, but they are not mean just here to teach the class and do research). A fair amount of the staff will do...

  16. UW or WSU Spokane. Can't decide!

    coug_nurse replied to subsub's topic in General Students

    I personally am in the WSU-Spokane program, just finishing up my junior year. I lived 30mins north of Seattle until I left for college. I can only speak for WSU program as I have no idea about UW's,...

  17. WSU BSN Fall 2016

    coug_nurse replied to TaylorKaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing WSU looks at is your GPA, TEAS, and interview score. There's no referrals or achievements. Most likely she was cut for GPA, as she had year experience of CNA and was very personable so...

  18. WSU BSN Fall 2016

    coug_nurse replied to TaylorKaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. Most TEAS were high 70s or low-mid 80s. Most GPAs of my friends was like 3.7, but one of my friends had 3.38ish. She got denied initially, got an interview one day before they were held, but did...

  19. WSU BSN Fall 2016

    coug_nurse replied to TaylorKaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    GPA was like 3.92 and I scored 99th percentile on TEAS test, which I believe was a 91. One piece of advice I'd give is to get your CNA, and work as one if you can (even if it's just 4 hours a week)....

  20. WSU BSN Fall 2016

    coug_nurse replied to TaylorKaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did mine at WSU Pullman. As long as you do fine on TEAS test (use ATI practice book to study) and have a 3.5 GPA or above and are comfortable during interviews (helps if you have experience to talk...

  21. WSU BSN Fall 2016

    coug_nurse replied to TaylorKaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey! I just started WSU Spokane nursing school this semester (fall 2015). The GPA cut off for interviews for my class was roughly around a 3.4. Interview is extremely relaxed and is no big deal at...
