I am not sure if this is true but I hear MSN students are less prioritized by recruiters in California. I also have an MSN. 

[Awesome_RN]

I think even BSN are less prioritized, im starting to feel that having too much background and experience is just that, "too much" I have my BSN, previous Bachelor in PT , CNA experience, intership, costumers service, no so many hours of volunteer, 3 languages , worked hard on my essay and questions, 2 of my faculties checked my letter and questions before submitting . No invitation yet 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🥴😬

You guys are ALL great candidates!! Good luck to you all.

I have to say, I have a job offer from Sutter, and interview with Kaiser. I do believe the recruiters do see the value of MSN degree. Not sure about Stanford. If they do not see the value then their loss.

I also have an MSN and I kinda feel it is the case. But I know two MSN students who got in a nurse residency program (they were previous employees of the site they got accepted into). Anyone with a MSN received an invite?

Nothing yet, maybe by 1100

I heard from a recruiter that many residency programs prefer no medical experience because they want a clean slate to be able to mold people.

I know how you feel. I am worried that I have limited options to strengthen my application further. I saw that you have a Sutter offer - congrats! And an interview with Kaiser - again, congrats! I'm looking forward to interviewing with them because it's a step in what feels like the right direction. Maybe we will get to see each other's presentation interviews 🙂. Wishing you the best of luck!

Don't give up hope yet! I just checked my interview link from 5/29 and there are still 2 time slots open, so more interview invites will go out. There were 5 time slots originally.

Thank you so much for this reassuring info! Are these time slots for all departments/specialties? Also, does it give you a rough idea as to how many people can sign up for each time slot? Again, I appreciate your help and support!
