CMC New Grad Program

TarHealRN · Apr 9, 2010

Hey,

Have an interview coming up! Good luck to you too!

TarHeal did you apply to the new grad program? I haven't heard anything from them

TarHealRN · Apr 11, 2010

Hey,

I did, but I decided to contact a manager directly. If you don't hear anything before, I'd suggest giving that a shot because I believe interviews are starting at the end of the month.

Good luck, and maybe I'll see you around the caf when we are both nurses =)

good for you... i live out of state and i really don't know anyone at CMC but i'm hoping and praying I get it (fingers crossed)... Good luck to you too :) if u don't mind... what area are you interviewing for?

gigi- have you applied to other hospitals? CMC is tough to get into, even for employees

gigi01 · Apr 15, 2010

@ celclt i don't know of any other hospitals in Charlotte.... do you know any hospitals in the charlotte area hiring new grads? i thought all hospitals in the area were CMC hospitals... any help will be appreciated

Has anyone else heard back from CMC yet?

Gigi01-CMC and Presbyterian are the two hospitals in Charlotte, both had New Grad deadlines March 1st. There are also many hospitals in the surrounding area. I looked at some in the surrounding area that are listing positions that do not require experience. I am not sure how far you are willing to travel.

1. CMC Union, Monroe, NC (30min from Charlotte)-Although they are CMC they have their own employment site.

2. Cleveland Regional Medical Center, Shelby, NC (1hr from Charlotte)-They have an actual New Grad listing.

3. Catawba Valley Medical Center, Hickory, NC (1hr from Charlotte)

4. High Point Regional (1 1/2hrs from Charlotte)

(Travel times are based on Mapquest from uptown.)

If you are in south Charlotte, you may also want to consider South Carolina.

1. Piedmont Medical Center, Rock Hill, SC

2. Springs Memorial Hospital, Lancaster, SC

3. Palmetto Health, Columbia, SC (Columbia is about 1hr-1 1/2hr from south Charlotte)

4. Providence Hospital, Columbia, SC

There are other hospitals I have not listed, however, the above are the ones I know have employment possibilities for new grads at this time.

Nevermind, I got my "DENIED" letter in the mail today from CMC. Better luck next time, I guess. Good luck to everyone else who applied.

justwandering31- I feel your pain! I just recieved my "rejection" letter from Piedmont. And unfortunately that's the only interview I've been able to score in two months of trying. Did you have an interview at CMC? I applied in Jan and haven't heard a thing! I graduated in December, but missed the October deadline for December graduates. I've called a million times, but the recuiter says the same thing every time, "We are only hiring/interviewing May 2010 graduates at this time." ...Sooooo frustrating! :cool:

Cam RN - I did not have an interview with CMC, they rejected me without even giving me an interview. It may be a good sign that you haven't heard anything yet. The letter was postmarked on 4/15 so if you don't have one, maybe they are planning on interviewing you. I am crossing my fingers for you. This job hunting sucks, I wish you luck. I hope you are able to try applying to some of the hospitals I listed above.

thanks a whole lot *justwandering, i am checking out all those hospitals and i am about to start applying really soon.... it's hard out here for new nurses... i am about to go check the mail box... i live out of state so maybe my rejection letter is just taking longer to get to me... ):
