Providence CA RN Residency Program - August 2025 Cohort

[SatoSugu]

Hello, just starting a forum for Providence RN Residency Program - August 2025 Cohort, I currently work at a Providence hospital and got the email saying that internal applications opened 5/30 and external opens 6/6. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you

So there's still hope for Tarzana location?!

Hi all, don't be discouraged, applying all these new grad residency program is extremely competitive and exhausting. It's not because you're not outstanding enough, sometimes it's just because limited spots opening at that time. Last time Fullerton only had like 11 openings in total including all the units they're hiring. Last round I applied almost all of those hospitals, Providence, Cedars Sinai, USC, UCI, Hoag, MLK, Memorial Care etc, a lot of them even got interviews but still didn't get an offer. The only one I got was MLK but I was so regret that I was waiting for Cedars Sinai and didn't take MLK, unfortunately I didn't get CS. UCLA has walk in resume services to meet with the recruiter, one of them told me all these new grad positions are much more competitive than expected. Even if you didn't get in, it's OK, start somewhere small and as long as you get more experience, eventually you will be able to get into your dream hospital. Keep applying!

I appreciate the encouragement! Any recommendations for smaller hospitals that hire new grads?
