need some advices please.....

Hello! i am just new here in virginia(norfolk) and I am currently seeking for a job...I posted my resume in the internet and some people (nurse recruiter) called me but what I was hoping for is that a call from the hospitals which I applied for in the internet...Is it more advisable to apply personally or to just wait for them (hospital) to give me a call? .... thanks a lot!!!

It depends on where you posted your resume on the internet. Most hospitals like for you to fill out applications on their website instead of places like monster.com.

If you applied on the website of a particular hospital and they don't contact you within a week or so, then I would give them a phone call. Say that you are calling to check on the status of your application. Make sure that they receive it and ask them when you can expect to hear from them regarding an interview.

Good luck to you!

i just did the same thing and ended up with 7 interviews in a week. the nurse recruiter is prob from that hospital. did you apply to a specific hospital?? or Sentara? you should call them and set up your interview.Sentara is wonderful. i accepted a position with them. are you from Virginia?? i am coming from NY...good luck!

Did you apply at a Sentara Hospital or a Bon Secours Hospital? Both have an online application process, but I can tell you that Sentara definitely uses recruiters as the initial contact. I work for a Sentara hospital (Sentara Leigh in Norfolk). I can give you some advice about the hospitals here...

I am a new grad, but based on my clinicals, and my previous work experience (I was a nursing assistant at a Sentara hospital), Sentara is a better bet for job satisfaction and how they treat their employees and (most important) their patients. I don't know what your specialty is, but I would suggest doing two things: 1. Post a thread stating your location and specialty, and ask for recommendations on good places to work in this area based on that info. 2. go to the Sentara website (www.sentara.com), and browse their specific job openings, and apply directly through those links, you will probably get a call from a unit manager rather than a recruiter (although they are involved in the hire process).

I can tell you that the hospital where I work is great, and my unit (tele/medicine) is a great place to work. I did a clinical there, and applied before I graduated because I liked it so much.

I would be happy to help you with any other questions you might have.
