Good Samaritan/Bon Secours Employment

[holinurse]

Hi!

I am a new grad and I just applied for a position at Good Samartian Hospital in Suffern, NY. Applying is done through the Bon Secours Employment portal, which is where I completed my application. However, after completing the application, I was prompted to complete a questionnaire that is estimated to take 45 minutes to complete and has questions on topics that only experienced nurses would answer correctly. This is concerning to me because I am applying as a new nurse, and I don't want to be filtered out of the applicant pool because of doing poorly on the questionnaire.

I tried to reach HR, but I had no such luck. Calling the hospital HR dept automatically gets you forwarded to the 3rd party, Bon Secours, benefits administration support, which (mind you) has nothing to do with hiring (oy!). I went back and forth, but got nowhere.

Is there anybody who works there who can help me? Does anybody have experience with the hiring team there? How about experience with Bon Secours? Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey holinurse,

I'm also a new grad and applied for a job with Bon Secours. I know exactly what you mean about the questionnaire. Questions like "are you usually the person who comes up with new innovative ideas for the unit? "I just answered the question as if I was in that situation or the best answer available. I'm interested in finding out what others have to say about Bon Secours too.
