I'm seeing the same job posted on their hospital site for a while now. I have been slow getting all my resume and referrals together and when I called about the position I was told that it's posted till it's filled. It's just a nurse aid position, how long could it take to fill that job? I'm sure there are tons of qualified applicants for it.

That's really what I was afraid of. Also, I heard in the past about how companies are required to ads for jobs even if they plan to hire within. I don't know how accurate that is, but I'd rather that they didn't bother if that was the case.
Yes, that absolutely happens a lot. They have someone they know they want to hire, but they still have to go through the process of accepting resumes and conducting interviews.

I just thought it was odd.
I know of one hospital in my area that keeps all RN inpatient positions posted on their website at all times, whether they are currently looking or not. When I was job searching, I found this frustrating, as I never really knew if I had a chance of getting hired anytime soon or not.
I've seen positions posted and the resume's never get past HR. A lot. I had given references to a couple of people who applied for a posted position, our managers answer was always "nobody's applying for the position."
