Montefiore- Interview Process

thank you sherluckyRN!!!!

Congrats Estrella!!!!! Can I ask, did you apply to monte in person or online? I hate that you can't upload a resume on the application online!

thank you! The job is at city hospital in BK. I have yet to hear back from Montefiore.

I applied online for Montefiore and everywhere else before. I think it's the only way unless you know someone there that will hand deliver your resume to a recruiter. I also had no connections anywhere but I had some experience and certifications so that helped to get noticed.

Thank you HighlyBlessed! How are your first few days at Yale?

I absolutely love it! They are super motivating and really incest in training us. I definitely want to stay there for a while and then try for a l&d, ob position there

Did u start yet? How is it?

Not yet. Im still in background check process. But start date is first monday of the each month which will be April 1.

How exciting! Start date is the same at Monte! Have you heard back yet? I got tired of calling the recruiter...

Hi HIghlyBlessed, haven't heard back from MOntefiore yet. My background check is cleared and I'm starting at Kings County next week, I'm happy. Also now its would be too late for me to reconsider Montefiore if I do hear back from them as they took really long in the whole process. If you get offer from them would you leave Yale? Since You just started there.

I would definitely not leave but I would definitely consider part time at Montefiore even though I'm beginning to question their level of professionalism. Im so happy for you and wish u all the best at your new job. =)

Congrats estrellacr. I m happy for you. Which unit will you work in? I don't know the NYC hospitals take forever to get back to people. I don't live too far from Kings County and its a great learning hospital. Best of luck

Thank you, SherluckyRN! I will be in Maternal Infant Health inpatient. HHC takes about 3 weeks to 2 months to call you in for interview, depends on the hospital. Kings County was faster than other HHCs. Montefiore though not an HHC is quite slow as well in terms of hearing back with result of interview. I think all hospitals are overwhelmed with the amount of applicants as there are a lot of new grads seeking jobs as well as soon, there will be a lot of experienced nurses from hospitals that are closing (i.e. LICH and Westchester Square) or downsizing (Downstate).

I would advise continuing education such as ACLS and NRP certifications and other classes. These along with health-care related work and/or volunteer experience help you stand out in the application process.
