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!!

I have worked for two home health agencies doing Peds. The orientation has been adequate and there is someone at the other end of a phone if necessary. I have learned quite a bit and feel this experience will be valuable when I DO get into a hospital...

Thanks Opposum! You are right on so many levels. It is hard to "give up the dream" of whatever your chosen field in nursing may be...but maybe that is part of it...don't give up them dream, just delay it for a while and get whatever experience in nur...

I got my "no go" letter as well. Ashyash, I planned on trying one more time, but now feel it is probably a waste of time. I applied to many residency programs, with nothing but interviews and a bunch of time and money spent. I think these programs ar...

Just have to ask, one more time?? Did ANYONE hear anything at all from Legacy? It amazes me that they can't send out one "group" rejection letter...

I am in Bolivia, I planned it around the dates they had stated on the application. So if I do get a call for a 2nd interview it would have to be by Skype! But I am thinking I might go back to school for Nurse Practitioner specializing in Peds. Not su...

Nope, but I am assuming they have made their choices known by now. What do you think? I guess nobody that was on here got a 2nd interview, or they forgot about us!

Anybody got anything?? I expected an e-mail by now. A rejection would at least provide closure! Packing for Bolivia...really! (But only for a mission trip!)

Thanks for sharing! Yep, I am waiting too. But I KNOW that somewhere God has the perfect place for me to be too. But it is nice to hear success, maybe my lottery win is just around the corner:-)

Congratulations Soccer! Very happy for you! Gives the rest of us hope that our "fit" is somewhere!

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!

Hmmmm, well tomorrow is Friday! Guess that would be the end of the week! Really? Nobody else on here got a 2nd interview? Bummer. But we are all gonna be ok. I promise.

Yea, and I leave for a mission trip from Seattle to Bolivia on the 27th. Cutting things close there too. Stressful, but I had to let go and let God. I CAN'T control this. Painful realization, but it still helped to know I am not in control, but I hav...

Waiting...patiently...sort of....ok, maybe not so patiently,,,for the phone to R-I-N-G!!! :)

Well, I still have hope then...until I hear otherwise! Patience certainly is a virtue I struggle with. Good luck all! Maybe some of us will eventually meet!

It is really frustrating. My passion is Pediatrics. I finally got a home health position and have been working it for the past 3 months. Love my kiddos and have learned SO much! But then so many of the application requirements stress 6 months CLINICA...

Hey pdx-RN, I was wondering, what department did your friend get the call from on Friday?

Hmmm, where do you even check your application status? I didn't know anything about that.

No call for me...guess we won't hear until next week! Difficult for planning purposes, and I am leaving on a mission trip to Bolivia later this month. Hope they don't put the interviews off too long! And I hope I get that 2nd interview! Good luck to...

Hang in there lilredrn!! Praying for positive results for ya!!

Nothing here yet either...waiting!!!

Awesome! Praise God! He does know exactly what we need, even if we sometimes can't see it ourselves. I graduated in Dec. 2009 and have a home health pediatric job. Love my "kids" but long to be working Peds in a hospital. Going on a mission trip to B...

I started last week for training and REALLY start next week after I get moved over. Thanks for the good wishes!!

Hey OR ROCKS~ Finally got a job in Spokane, in home health care, but Pediatrics. I had almost given up looking! This kind of fell into my lap, after all that searching. Not in a hospital setting like I had hoped for but really using my skills so I kn...

Hey lookinrn~ Thanks. I know God has a plan for me, and it will be better than MY plan! I am gonna keep my chin up and I am happy that there are RN's/new grads getting jobs! My day will come. I am sure of it!
