Hello all I'm excited to be apart of this forum as I am a recent graduate student from red cross nursing aide program as of 10/2013 and became certified 11/20/2013 to my dismay I thought when employers seen red cross when I applied for jobs I would be getting calls left and right ummmm nope I was sadly mistaken Ive applied on line and went in person and filled out application's nothing. However I did have one interview with Genesis health care thru a recruiter at one of their facilities but have yet to hear anything and Fair acres reached out to me about after a month . my interview with them is next week I'm anxious and excited I found it odd they do the background check before they interview you. Can anyone advise me how the interview process goes with them? How long is their orientation pay rate etc? Any feed back k would be helpful and appreciated guys!

If they asked you to come for interview, that means you got the job.
Thanks for responding living life 1987 that was the impression I got too after the interview

They pay about $12-$14/hr from last time I checked. That place is always hiring. My advice to you when working there, please do not get caught up in the gossip and foolishness with the workers and if you are AA, more than likely you will experience prejudice from the patients. Good Luck
Hey divalajuicy thanks for responding I don't what happened to the pay rate maybe becuz I'm a new grad student starting out even with a shift diff from 11am to 7pm it was $10.55. I didn't like the vibe personnel wasn't friendly at all I took a reading test where it was timend for one minute than a short quiz and the interview was with a LPN who had me sign papers and gave me a job description . then she said once your background check comes back you can come in for a physical and then orientation but I don'tkknow when that will be couldn't give me a time frame nothing once she said said that my impression is that they were unorganized. Needless to say I'm not accepting the offer the prior company reached out to after fair acres did I just wanted to weigh my options out to see which one was better . as soon as that interview was over with fair acres I called the recruiter and told her I wanted to accept the offer with the somerton facility in the Northeast yes I am AA and from what I'm hearing a lot of thse nursing home Ltc are clique like catty oh well I'll be working 3-11pm and thank you!
Congratulations. I am AA as well and I know a lot of nursing homes are catty and have cliques. I would take any other job before Fair Acres and $10.55 was a total rip off. Northeast is a nice area ( depending where you're at).
Thank you divalajuicy!
