I've been applying to nursing assistant jobs at a hospital near me. I have applied to about 15 separate positions as they become available. I meet all the requirements; however, I have not gotten a response on any of them yet. I have applied to them ranging anywhere from 4 weeks ago to 1 week ago. My question is, how long is the normal response time for a hospital to contact you? Also, is it helpful to go in person to apply for a job at a hospital?
