Has anyone heard back on jobs at St. Mary's or ARMC lately?? Also, has anyone received ATT from the GBON?

I have not heard anything from St Marys. My sister goes to school in the athens area and told me that she has not heard of anyone hearing anything either...

Let me know if you hear anything.

There was a hiring freeze at ARMC until the end of May...right now there are less than 10 jobs posted for RN's..takes a long time to get an interview there anyway..St. Mary's is also not really hiring much and they also take a lot of time to interview..if you are able Northeast Ga. Medical Center in Gainesville is hiring as well as Gwinett Medical - both have expanded. Also, Landmark hospital in Athens was hiring RN's - they do not hire LPN's at all.

Gwinnett medical (GMC) only hire new grads into the residency program. GMC said they will post another residency thing insept/oct for the Janurary residencyprogram . I have been trying everywhere and applying everywhere. I have not had any luck. It sees alot of hospital are hiring withinand I already have my license so now I cannot even work as a tech (which I am so desperate right now I would do it). NE GA medical center I believe want s you to go throuh the residency progra mfor new grads as well. When I calledthey said they should be posting something in a few months.(side note: NE GA was so nice and they called me personally). I have noidea what to do being a new graduate.I am exploring every option and now I am applying to residency programs out of state.

thanks for the info! I have been in touch with st marys & armc of and on

I was fortunate enough to be offered a position at St. Mary's, which I took. I will say, that they hire year-round, so keep trying. Same with ARMC, but I do not know the specifics. My advice, keep revising your resume, they really take your professionalism into consideration, especially with all the applicants out there. Make sure you're keeping in touch with the nurse recruiters and I'm sure something will come up. The trend I am seeing is that there are positions out there, you may just need to hunt further or compromise schedule conflicts for them. Good luck to you!

I have an offical cover letter and resume. I have to admit I do not have much experience. My nursing program was intense and we were suggested to not work (but I was in clinical every semester-15months). I only have volunteer experience- camp for diabetes, armc(i volunteered their for almost 2 yrs), and i worked at a 2 week clinic in costa rica and panama.

How long was your resume? I only put nursing related stuff not my past job. My resume is one page.

That's wonderful experience! My cover letter and resume was 3 pages in its entirety. However, I did add letters of reference and had my portfolio with me that I made in school. Do everything you can to market yourself, and the experience you do have. Also, some words of advice that came from my instructors-put your clinical sites/rotations on your resume. I wish you all the best!
