Christus Spohn Corpus Christi

Published

I'm a new graduate currently living in Colorado and have been applying to Christus Spohn (among other places) in Corpus Christi, as I hear they are new grad friendly. But, I've never heard back from them about any of my applications. Could this be because I'm out of state? My license is from a compact state, so I would hope that would help a little. I'm fully committed to moving wherever it is I'm able to find a job.

Also, I hear about people contacting HR, but how do you even find phone numbers or email addresses for recruiters? I haven't had any luck with that on hospital websites, and I also worry that calling/emailing them could be seen as annoying and would just hurt my chances.

Anybody have any experiences as an out of state new grad with Christus Spohn?

Don't work at Spohn, they are terrible (in this area). They are reducing benefits & such. I'd apply at the other hospitals in the area. Good luck.

I appreciate your reply itzvalerie!! Even if they are reducing benefits and everything, it would still be far better than the no benefits and no pay I get now being unemployed. Also, the experience I would get working there is more what I'm concerned with, rather than pay, benefits, etc. I'll look at other hospitals as well. Thank you!

You're welcome & that is true. Lol. :p I hope you get ahold of someone. Spohn down here is just notoriously bad & you can feel it when you walk in the hospital. Bay Area, that group, is much better. I hope you find a job! :)

That makes me sad to hear of spohns reputation. I worked in their nursery when I first got out of school many many moons ago. There were still nuns in the hospital we used to wrap our babies in giant stocking the volunteers made for discharge the whole month of December. I have many fond memories of my time there

I worked with nurses who use to work back then too, unfortunately it isn't the same. :(

What's happening at Spohn? It's a shame to hear that they are not doing very well.

The Spohn where I live is a lawsuit away from being shut down. Not too long ago a man was complaining of chest pain & the woman checking him in told him to sit down & wait. Next thing you know he passed out on the floor & died.
