Starting a chain for SoCal Providence RN Residency Program - Feb 2026 Cohort!

Congrats. I am wondering if they are all doing it based on application time? I applied at 10AM bc I couldnt see the location available yet 😞

Congrats on the interview! Would you mind sharing some of your experience? I'm external and applied to the OC locations. I wasn't able to apply until 7:30-8:00AM though. Trying not to get my hopes up just yet!

I applied late also like 9am tho 😭 I was clicking on the wrong link...

To OC locations?

Same, I didn't realize there were different links for the job listings. So bummed about it. At the info session, they said you need to have your notifications on so that you can apply immediately. I had mine on but wasn't notified. And I was looking in the wrong link so I was a couple hours late to the posting 😕

I only applied to Torrance and Tarzana 

Are the interview invites over text as well? Just making sure which notifications to monitor

For those who have been invited to interview .. how soon are the interview dates? We're the options for this week or the next?

Thank you! There is still hope! It's still early in the morning, so I expect they'll roll out more interview invites over the course of the day.

I have a little bit of outpatient RN experience (like only 1-2 months though). Otherwise mainly just clinical rotations at non-Providence hospitals, volunteering, club leadership/membership, and some research / quality improvement experience.

Was just able to schedule an interview with St. Joseph in Orange! Have any of the other ministries released interview invites today? 

Congrats!! did you select SJO as your first choice in the screening questionnaire? I applied to 3 and was not sure how to answer that question, but I only picked 1 as my top choice and said "No" to the other 2. I wonder if doing that lowered my chance with the non-top choice ministries..

I got a text and an email at the same time. It woke me up, haha.

St. Joseph in Orange is January 8 and 12, looked like from about 8AM to 2PM-ish. They're weirdly spaced in 22 min time slots and there was quite a bit of availability when I signed up for a time slot.

Good for you that's awesome!! Is that experience in Cali? I'm from out of state and none of my involvement is Cali

Thanks!! I'm wondering the same thing! I'm really hoping for Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo too, but I only put St. Joseph in Orange as my first choice. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to put multiple as our first choice and didn't want that to disqualify me if I did... but maybe it's OK? I have no idea
