CHOP hiring process

Hello!

Has anyone applied to CHOP primary care offices and been turned down? Went on two interviews at two separate locations amd have another interview at another location lined up. The first location brought me back for a day to shadow a nurse same age as me with no experience before getting this job. She has an associate degree. Of course there is nothing wrong with this but I have a bsn and a little over 6 months medsurg/tele nursing experience and have been turned down 3 times by them. I got as far as submitting references and background check the last time and then was turned down again only for a recruiter to call me the next day about another position I applied for. Do they think im over qualified? I dont get it!! Any ideas as to whats wrong with me or why I am being passed over time and time again? Thinking of giving up on this endeavor!!! Any advice is appreciated.

    Can you clarify the acronym? Could be Children's of Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.

    ​I doubt it's because you're overqualified. There could have been a candidate within CHOP's system that they hired; maybe the ADN nurse they hired has another skill (e.g. speaks a foreign language) that was useful for the clinic. Hard to say.

    Anywhere in CHOP is extremely competitive. From my understanding, CHOP and Penn will put workers through school to work for them. It might be harder for you since your external and still have limited experience.

    Sounds to me like you are falling short in some interpersonal skills perhaps, given your description it seems to come down to your ability to interact past the initial interviewing.

    Moved to our Pennsylvania Nursing forum.

    One of my best staff with BS in Health Policy, 5 years experience working as data entry clerk in home health agency, after completing ABSN from Thomas Jefferson Univ couldn't get hired at CHOP either. As soon as PA license # appeared at BON, changed them to RN status. A few months later, they landed part time position in NJ hospital... very much CHOP's loss.

    Don't fret too much over not getting position.
