Question for NYC HHC Hospitals

[jennyx33]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how long it usually takes for a recruiter to contact you from a HHC Hospital after you apply?

I hope you guys don't mind for me to vent a little because I am starting to feel frustrated. So here's my story. I graduated in May 2013 with an ASN and was licensed in June 2013. I enrolled in BSN classes in August and started working as a community nurse at an adult social daycare in September. I recently got certified as a Patient Center Medical Home Content Certified Expert in March and since then I started running around doctor's office encouraging practices to participate in patient centered medical home along with working at the adult social daycare. The problem? I am itching to use my clinical skills. I feel like I forgot everything already. I really want to be able to use the hands on skills I learned in nursing school. I have been furiously applying to hospital positions all over New York City since March - and have not received any interviews. Its just frustrating how almost all positions require you to have either two years of experience. How is anyone supposed to get that experience when no one is willing to train? I have read that HHC Hospitals are willing to train new grads so I have been applying to them. Please cross your fingers for me.

Thank you for reading my vent.
