I think the job posting said it would be like a month before they contact people.

I received an email 12/15 stated that I was not selected. They had 1200 applicants for 8 positions. Hope this helps.

I also received an email saying they had an overwhelming number of applicants for only 8 open positions. More than 1200 applicants applied to those positions including me. Unfortunately, I wasnt selected either. What can I do now? This seems like an hopeless case. I wont be suprise as the number of unemployed new/stalled grads increase by the next coming months. Yet I kept on hearing nursing shortage everwhere. Nursing schools are milking their students with this nursing shortage dilemma. I personally have heard this quite a number of times. Im even suprise that my nursing instructors then havent even heard of allnurses.com. Does your professors know about it?

Hi. I also applied to the New Grad Program and have not heard or received an email. If I may ask, when did you turn in your application? Did you mail or hand it in? Did you get an interview? I wonder if they would still send rejection emails to all the applicants. Sorry for all the questions. Just curious.

I sent my application through the mail, and so far have not heard anything back yet.

Gosh, I got my rejection email just a couple of days after the deadline. Guess they *really* didn't like my application.

sorry, dont feel bad. they didnt even look at your app. they are getting so many applications they are eliminating people on criteria such as bsn ect... i havent heard yet but i am sure i wont be one of the 8 out of 1200 chosen even with bsn, acls/pals, cum laude, native san franciscan and contacts within sfva. i was told i wasnt qualified for a new grad program on reno. when i called to find out why, i was told they were only taking internal apps.

I also applied for this program and turned in my application on dec 3rd via mail. So far I haven't heard from them. For those who received the email, may I just ask if that probably went to SPAM folder? Anyone got updates? Thanks!

Hi I also applied, I sent my application in on Dec. 7th via mail and I too didn't receive any emails or other notifications. I hope they post an official message if they have already picked candidates so we aren't all hanging. Since the starting date of the program is Feb. 14 we should be hearing more information soon.

Hi everyone,

I brought my application in on the last day, Dec. 10 and have not heard anything yet. I also hope that we hear something soon so that we know one way or another. Has anyone tried to contact the nurse recruiter?
