Brookdale Senior Living

I too am thinking about taking a job with Brookdale Senior Living, and I too have been waiting on a response. I am really surprised no one has replied. I like the lady that I had a phone interview with, and the company seems to be a good solid one, but I was offered a very low per hr amt. I have another phone interview on Tuesday. I have never had a phone interview before. I guess it is a prescreen. I will probably take the position if it is offered to me, because it sounds like something I would be interested in, and it would be daytime hours. It is in management though, and is a salaried position, which amounts to no overtime. That worries me. I have never worked salaried in nursing before, and I am concerned that my workweek could equal to more than fulltime hours.

Just wondering if you guys ever took the positions at Brookdale...I'm a new LVN thinking of applying there. Any updates would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm starting with a Brookdale facility this coming Monday. The pay and benefits are much better than I've had before, and I understand the company is big on continuing education, especially for its management team (of which I'll be a part). So far I like what I've seen......they already have business cards waiting for me, health and life insurance on the first day, sign-on/retention bonuses, and growth opportunities. I've never worked for a large corporation before, but so far everyone I've dealt with has been personable and professional. We'll see how it goes!

Awesome! Thanks for replying so quick! Please keep us posted (as I'm sure you will), as to how your first day/week on the job goes! Are day shift? Do they have shifts all around the clock?

Thanks again and hope all goes well your first day of work!

So far so good with my new position at a Brookdale Senior Living facility. I am Wellness Director/Healthcare Coordinator of a 20 bed assisted living facility, and we have an independent community as well. I am an RN, and I took a huge paycut, but the hours are wonderful, and the staff I work with are awesome. I love the residents, and everyone is very supportive. I like my job very, very much, and I look forward to going into work most every day. I started over a month ago, and am getting more used to the job.

I hope to stay with this facility for a long time. Good luck to everyone starting their new jobs with Brookdale.

My job as HCC for a Brookdale facility is going well so far. I'm two weeks into the position, and while 73 residents seem to be a lot (I'm used to 42), I'm sure I'll be on top of things within another couple of weeks. I'm also going to a leadership conference in Vancouver in mid-August, and probably will be heading to Milwaukee sometime in September or October. Maybe I'll see you there!

I just found out I am going to Milwaukee in November for "boot camp." I have heard it is very intense. Good luck to you. You may have already went!

So am I! I'll see you there!
