If you have already graduated, that's a pretty long way off! 7 months before your position would begin (that's if you land a job). 7 months waiting and not using your nursing skills or knowledge. I suggest new grads don't wait. Instead, keep searching for a position at other hospitals/clinics/SNFs. If you still don't have a position when the application is posted for the next cohort, then of course apply. Just don't wait around for that to happen.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but GOOD LUCK!

Applicants with less than three months of RN experience are considered for the residency positions ?

You can always apply for their new to the specialty programs.

Hey all- did you get confirmation from HR background check folks that everything went through? I didn't get a phone call back, but I did get an email from the educator and about the meet and greet. Do you know when we do UA?

lovedogs31 · Dec 28, 2014

Has anyone done a UA? I'm concerned that I'm not meeting deadlines/falling behind.

grownuprosie · Dec 29, 2014

relax. i don't think they are going to contact everyone to let them know their background check went through. i think a clean background check is assumed and they will only contact you otherwise. there was no mention of a UA in any of the documentation they sent me to my recollection. Did yours say there was going to be a UA? just bring a full bladder just in case to the first day. i am sure we can ask questions at the meet and greet. relax. you got the job. if you followed the instructions on the emails they sent you, then you are good to go.

Thanks grownuprosie. I know, I was thinking everything was fine but had a moment of hesitation. Did you get call back from HR? I think It's okay, as the meet and greet is coming up soon anyway.

grownuprosie · Dec 29, 2014

i have not gotten a call. i am not expecting one though. i did all the paperwork from the email and send in the background check on the 6th. if there was some kind of red flag, i assume that they would have contacted me by now. There is supposed to be a bunch of people to ask questions to at the meet and greet.

Hey folks, Hope everything is going all for you guys. I have completed the online paper work and have submitted my acceptance letter. I did the back ground check. but getting no response from any one. how are things going on for you guys? I know we've that meet and greet this Thursday I am not sure about the time which we can ask questions but basically wanted to hear from you guys.

Is anyone from the Eastside/Bellevue planning on taking the bus to Cherry Hill for orientation the week of February 23rd?

Willyummy · Mar 17, 2015

Hey everyone, just wondering what type of questions does HR ask you? Im so nervous, I need to practice my answering skills! And how were the panel/peer interview questions different? I am going in with my best suit and tie! Thank you!
