When to apply

Cohort 3 applications are OPEN NOW: August 3 to August 19, 2026. Information session was July 22, 2026. Washington runs longer windows than Kaiser California, two to four weeks rather than three days, so this is the most forgiving Kaiser market to apply in.

Preferred: BSN, degree earned within the 12 months before the start date, prior Kaiser Permanente internship/externship/clinical rotation.
