Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

Published

Hello!

I hope I am posting this question in the correct thread/section. I'm a senior nursing student from Cleveland, about to graduate in Jan 2016. I am looking extremely hard to find a nurse residency in the Seattle area. I was confused about UW's nursing residency program. It seems that it's listed as a "job posting" rather than a typical application. For example, UCLA's RN Residency program is very clear. Applications are due Oct 5-11 and interview invites sent out in November and you will hear back if you are accepted in December.

I'm just a bit confused about UW's program and how it works.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew if Swedish's Residency program dates are only in July, August and November? Will I have to wait that long and go on without a job (once I pass my NCLEX) until July?

Thank you for taking time to read this! Any information would be extremely helpful!

@suburbiafeels Congrats on passing your licensure last week! I'll be moving from Hawaii. Hopefully, we'll get a job offer this coming week. Best of luck!

Yeah I had my first phone interview the first week of July! Long process for sure. I hope you both hear back soon!

I'm coming from Los Angeles!

Yay! Congrats!

I missed their call this morning around 9:45am, which the nurse recruiter left a voicemail and then an e-mail regarding the offer.

Thank you both! I hope you get an offer @emersonarchie, it'd be fun to meet you and @ZAR963 and go through residency together.

@suburbiafeels @ZAR963 So happy for you both! I still haven't heard anything from the recruiter today. No email or phone call. I'll be moving to Washington no matter what as my nurse residency will start in November for the other hospital that accepted me. Will keep in touch!

Hey guys! Have u started the nurse residency today?

We have!! Did you get in?

Hey @ZAR963! How many were accepted for this cohort? Unfortunately, I never heard back from them. Anyways, I'll just do the other residency program that accepted me although Swedish was my preference.
