I have come into a really weird realization during the last two years.I have noticed that there are ads for nurses in the paper,and on hospital websites-and I have come to the conclusion that they really arent hiring.
I am not a new grad so that cant be it.But there are some places where I apply and hear nothing back and the internet posting procedes to be there over a year.Also,HR will not answer their phone or call you back.Sometimes you do get an excuse that its being 'reviewed' or sent to the nurse manager.Most of the times when I've been persistant and followed up-I get excuses or a brick wall.Also,I've gotten lied to several times when HR tells me that they will call me back whether I get the job or not,and then they will not answer their phones or call me back.
Also for the ones in the paper,I apply-hit a brick wall,and they continue to put the ad in the paper.
Has anyone else had this experience? (I know some people in real life who've had this happen here too-so I know its not some horrible curse I have).
Also is there a nurse recruiter or HR person here who can explain this?
I am wondering if its to keep an applicant pool-or some weird form of advertising for the facility?
