Hamot responded to my resume submission. I'm looking for people who work/have worked there, who can tell me in their own words how things are there, etc. I'm going to return the call from the recruiter tomorrow, so in the meantime, and until I agree to drive there from Harrisburg for an interview, I'd like to learn the nitty gritty, not the hype and hyperbole that comes from a webpage. Any input?

Hi, your post had been two yrs ago before. I wonder if you got your job at Hamot? Did you like it there? I would be very glad if you can share your experiences in this hospital? Ty. TY.!

Wow...

I haven't been here probably since I made that post, over two years ago.

I didn't go to Hamot...I didn't even finish the application process. I did leave my old job at Pinnacle Hell er Health, even left PA for a while and returned to private duty for a bit. Now I'm back in PA, and I work at Penn State Hershey Med. I've been there for three months so far, and I'm surviving, and it has possibilities.

Will I stay there the rest of my life? I dunno. I could consider Hamot again, if I were inclined to move to Erie, though if I moved, I'd likely go elsewhere.
It looks like a nice place from the web site (then again so did Pinnacle, well their old site anyway), though I thought it was bigger than it is, and also thought it would be a level I trauma center and major teaching hospital (and don't know if it's headed in that direction). But there's still supposedly a lot going on there and a lot to get into. Who knows.
