I also applied to the Summer cohort but did not receive an interview. I take my NCLEX next week. External. I think it was because the majority of my experiences was basically within the same speciality. 

This makes me feel slightly better. I think they are still reaching out to people from the Summer applications. I have over 12 years of experience in the field I applied to. 
They did say next week we should be hearing from them. And my application still says under consideration at least. I applied back in May when it opened.

Well my suspicions have been confirmed. I emailed SW and she said I was not selected for the fall 2025 cohort. Good luck to all those who are going to interview and congrats to all those who have been given an offer. Feeling very disappointed right now but I will keep looking. 

hi everyone! I applied to both the Summer and fall cohort but have never gotten a follow up on anything. not even a rejection email. im wondering if the new grad program is still active with everything going on, or if I've missed something in the application? 

Hello, I applied to the fall cohort for the psych units. I have not heard back for an interview or anything but my app still says under consideration. I'm assuming since I haven't gotten an interview that means I didn't get picked. Anyone else have this going on?

Yes, my status is also still "under consideration,” but I already know I didn't get it because I reached out to the talent acquisition person. 

I got my official rejection letter this morning 

Specializes in Student.

I'm sorry to hear that. I was placed as an alternate for 5N and I work on the unit so, it is HIGHLY competitive. I'm feeling very discouraged but will keep applying. Best of luck to everyone

Yes, it's been very hard to get a nursing job. It feels like I've applied to every hospital from la, riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego county ☹️ what's weird though is that I received a rejection letter from the fall cohort but not the Summer cohort. I checked the portal and my application for the Summer cohort is still "under consideration.” Anyone else showing this as well?

I'm with you friend, I feel very discouraged. Rejection after rejection. I have only gotten 1 interview from Palomar hospitals cohort but still didn't get the job. 
I wish it wasn't so hard to get a job as a new grad. We were told it would be so easy to get a job right after school but it is not. Honestly don't know what to do. Keep applying?

This is so discouraging! I applied back in May to the Fall cohort. I received an email saying we wouldn't hear from the until the week of July 21st for the fall cohort. Those who got interviews, did you apply to the Summer cohort as well or are these interviews for the fall cohort? Also are you internal? Have your RN already? Just curious about the process of selection. It seems very random. Good luck on your interviews! It's tough out there! 

I can relate to you on this.  What are they looking for: internal vs external, BSN vs ADN, NCLEX taken and passed vs NCLEX with a test date scheduled, healthcare experience vs minimal/no healthcare experience, clinical rotations at SHARP vs no clinical rotation at SHARP, preceptorship vs no preceptorship.  Just got to keep applying, but its hard getting denial after denial after denial as a new grad RN.

Good morning, I received an interview invitation for 5N. Has anyone else heard back?

Did you pass your interview? Am internal but sharp chula vista. I don't think I made it for memorial.

I had an interview with Mesa Vista last week. Has anyone received an offer?
