Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

Published

Just wondering if anyone else had applied to Legacy Health (Emmanuel Children's Hospital)? This is in Portland, OR. It closed last Friday and I am wanting to know when people start hearing from them about interviews. Thanks for any info you have!!

PS: she was called and went in the very next day for the interview.

The med/surg manager that I interviewed with said he was going to be on vacation this week and would continue interview next week. He said he would be making a decision by Jan. 28, HR will be doing background checks the first of Feb. and offers would be made Feb. 7-14. So, I would think interviews could be scheduled for next week.

The versant program starts at the end of Feb, and they realize people need to give 2 weeks notice at their current job, so Id say if you don't get a call by mid Feb you can safely assume you didn't get a second interview. That being said, there is always the last minute thing...all managers and all depts operate a little differently and even the versant program isn't completely set in stone...remain flexible is my best advice. They are not hiring more this time because Legacy is in a giant budget crunch, just like everyone else. The fact that they are even taking these 16 is a bit of a miracle. They have committed to the versant program so they are obligated to take some, but they are cutting other jobs in order to afford these spots. SW Washington has a residency program also for certain specialties, and Seattle has some openings for new grads. Keep up the hope and enthusiasm, something will eventually open up for you.

Talked to a recruiter of the residency program. She said that some managers are not done with their final selections yet, but she didn't know which departments. Those who were not selected will receive an email notification at the end of this week.

Right back at ya LilRed! We didn't do all that studying for nothing. And God didn't give us a passion for Nursing for no reason. He is just teaching us patience. Let you know if/when I hear anything, either way!
