Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip

Published

Hello,

Does anyone work for this hospital? I am currently a nursing student and looking for a position as a nurses aide. I filled out 30 applications on line and went to the Human Resource department 3 times in the past 2 weeks. :banghead: The hospital advised me that I can work there as a nurses aide since I completed Fundamentals of Nursing and to just state that in my application on line. Well, still no response since January. The HR department advised me that they hold applications 6-8 weeks after and that if I dont get a response to keep on applying for jobs on line.

Just wondering if anyone new the "job application" process for this hospital.

Thanks:heartbeat

Hello,

I worked at Good Sam (per diem) before I left NY. I can tell you this, the HR dept. in that hospital is among the worst I've ever dealt with. They do not return calls or emails. It took 7 or 8 voice mails and several weeks for the HR guy I was referred to, to get back to me. (and that was after the interview/offer!) I recomend lots and lots of follow up.

Just curious, why only good sam? Theyre a good hospital and all, but if its for an aide position there are plenty of hospitals that need help. Dont put all your eggs in one basket mama

Well I live 10 minutes from Good Sam and they pay decent money. I am going to look into other hospitals but others are much further. I dont want to travel 45 minutes away with the price of gas and bring home $5 in my pocket.

Also, some hospitals require you to be certified and Good Sam does not. They just state that you need to take Fundamentals. So, I am keeping my fingers crossed since it so close to my home, if not then I will be looking further out.:wink2:

Ahhhh I see. Makes sense, going in person is usually a good idea but since you said you already did that maybe going to the nursing department and ask them for advice. Tell them your situation, and hopefully someone else will be able to help you. Good luck.

Aside from the initial problems with HR I did like working there. For a larger hospital it was a nice work environment, of course I don't work in the nursing dept. but everyone on the floors seemed very nice. I would think that Stony Brook and Good Sam are the 2 highest acuity hospitals in Suffolk county.

BTW - an NCC grad here!

Thanks for the information. Wow, small world. I was going to apply to Nassau but I got into SCCC. I heard NCC has a great nursing program.
