I applied for RN residencies at both UCSF and Stanford during the week of May 10th, 2010. I wanted to hear from anyone who has applied to either program AND has been contacted by a recruiter. Or from anyone who knows for certain (i.e., you work there) when theses decisions will be made. I am a fairly strong candidate and would like to believe I am in the running for a position--but who knows really? I will post if and when I hear anything.
I am really looking forward to hear back from UCSF. I heard its a panel interview which I haven't experienced yet. Has anyone had a panel interview before? In my mind it seems like a firing squad, a tad intimidating but interesting. It will be very different from the one-on-one interview at Cedar that was very relaxed in my opinion.
My LPCH status changed to "unknown" but I have not been contacted in any way.
also: Did anyone receive a phone message from the Stanford recruiter to return a call. I do not have a cellphone and work at a number I can't take calls so am making up excuses for why they don't want to talk to me.
^ Well the first step of the hiring process is a phone interview, so the Stanford recruiter probably wants you to call her back so she can interview you :)
I have not received a phone message, and was hypothesizing that the reason why was because recruiters don't leave messages (I'm clearly stretching here) so was asking if anyone had received a message. If anyone has it would negating my message hypothesis, leading me to believe they are simply not interested, which is likely the case.
Have you guys that applied to Stanford/LPCH received a call from HR saying they want the letters of recommendation to be from your school faculty? When I had applied, it didn't say that, so I have two letters from other people (preceptor, and another person)...Now I'm scrambling to get my school faculty to write me a letter...
frustrating...but i'm so glad they called me to give me a chance to submit what they wanted.
^ They've been picky about LORs. I had three from clinical instructors, but one was on old school letterhead and one was on my instructor's personal letterhead. Both had to be resubmitted on the current school letterhead.
i also applied to Stanford and I had my phone interview with the recruiter last week and my status went from being unknown to selected for interview. I don't know if the "selected for interview" means the phone interview or the interview for the next step? Does anyone have the same status as me?

Did your application status change right after your phone interview or more recently, like today? If it's today, it might mean that you move on to the next step! :)
