Has anyone heard anything else? I'm getting anxious because I swear everyone has heard back from places and I haven't heard from a lot of the places I applied to.

Same! I heard back this afternoon about scheduling an interview!

Congratulations! That is so exciting. Do you mind if I ask what kind of critical care experience you have? I have applied to various critical care nurse residency positions but unfortunately don't seem to be having much luck ?

The only critical care experience I have is I currently work as a Nurse Extern at a Level 2 Trauma in a Neuro ICU that is in a hospital with a comprehensive stroke center since June. I have had no in person clinical experience since March 2020 only online because my school couldn’t secure me any clinical spots in a hospital. 
Apart from that, strong cover letter and resume that I asked somebody to look over (Nurse Mayura, I did the new grad package which she looked over my resume, cover letter, and practiced interview questions with me). Really highlighted my merits and willingness to learn and grow. Strong letters for my nurse manager & previous clinical instructors.

Congratulations! Did you get an email to asking for a secondary track before you got the call?

Thank you! Never got a call from UTSW only emails so far. And I did get the email asking for my secondary track which was Emergency, prior to the interview invite. IDK, if they’re still looking into applications/my application is no longer considered for that track as I have only heard from critical care.

Just wanted to let everyone know that prior to your interview, UTSW requires a minimum of 5 references, 2 of which must be a manager or supervisor. Your clinical instructors and professors can count as a manager/supervisor.
