Main Line Health Nurse Residency

[Melfldrn]

Has anyone applied to the Main Line Health nurse residency that was posted with the deadline of January 2013? Curious to see if anyone has heard anything from them either way, about an interview (or not). I would normally just shoot them an email, but it specifically says on the website that they will contact us by phone if we are selected for an interview, and will be sent an email if not chosen... I haven't heard either way, so I'm assuming that's a good thing (?) because I haven't been rejected! Just wondering if anybody knows how long it typically takes to get a response, or if anyone has heard either way if they've been selected.

By the way, I thought I should announce my fantastic news that I just found out this morning that I passed my boards! :)

Thanks!

Omg are you serious? I really hope that's not true. I'm going to call the nurse I know tomorrow and ask her to ask around about that and ill let you know. This job search is so utterly depressing, I feel like I'm losing my mind. Some nursing shortage, eh?

I go to a school not far from this hospital and go to school with girls who work there. I heard that all internal employees are guarenteed an interview. Other posts are probably correct that they are conducting those first before getting to the external applicants. Good luck you all!

I got my rejection email yesterday

I believe it's their system just like mercy Fitzgerald I've been applying to that hospital for the longest and I keep getting the same rejection email and I have extensive background experience and still get the same email. I don't get it with the hospital websites when u apply.

I got my rejection email yesterday

Did you even get a chance to interview? I haven't received any feedback at all...positive or negative, and didn't get an interview yet either...

Hi all, I applied to this program too and haven't had any feedback either...

I just got a rejection email..no interview.

That stinks This whole new grad trying to find a job process stinks! I did receive two rejection emails on the same day you got your rejection, but they were staff nurse jobs I had applied for thru MLH. Still nothing for the residency.

I had an interview weeks ago (internal applicant) and am still waiting to hear back about the second round. Has anyone out there who has interviewed heard anything? I don't know if the rumors I read on here about them only interviewing internal applicants or how many positions they have are true. I'm sorry they have been keeping some of you in the dark for so long about your status. Don't waste your time applying to staff nurse positions at main line health if you're a new grad, they only hire new grads into the residency program. Hope you all find something soon

Yes, I have heard not to bother applying to staff nurse jobs. I actually don't even remember when I had applied for those, it was probably before I knew better lol. I think it's crazy. I understand they are busy, but it's been months and nothing! I have talked to two internal candidates who have had the first interview and haven't heard anything yet about a second. I do have healthcare experience so I'm still hopeful that I will get an interview, since I haven't received a rejection yet. Fingers and toes crossed for all of us!!!

I still have yet to hear any feedback regarding my application. This is so nerve-racking!

[Melfldrn]

Me neither! I'm thinking about calling at this point. Some people have received rejection emails without even getting an interview, but I still have yet to hear either way. I think it's time to make a phone call!
