Providence Holy Cross Mission Hills New Grad Program September 2011

Published

I was offered a position as a New Grad RN at Providence Holy Cross Mission Hills set to start next month (September 2011) and received a call from HR today stating due to budget cuts that the program would not occur. I signed the paperwork last week and passed the background check & drug test. Did anyone else receive this call? I am at a loss of words.

Maryland? I'm sorry to hear that. Call HR, maybe there is still a position for you in the hospital with a long preceptorship? IDK, sorry - I haven't heard this. I wish you much luck!

Thanks for your reply. No, it's in CA in Mission Hills. They're closing their new grad program for the fall, I asked if they could train me for free until the new grad program opens up in Feb, but they said no. This doesn't feel real, I'm just wondering who else got that call out there.

I was just there this afternoon to visit a friend, and I asked the RN if they have new grad programs, she said they don't because it's expensive to train new grads and she wished me good luck on finding a job and said I should start on nursing homes and convalescent hospitals. :)

I'm reviewing for my NCLEX RN right now.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this, you must be stunned. I can't believe they waited until the last moment to tell you this. All I can say is that I wish you the very best and hope that because this position didn't happen, you get an even better job! That's what happened to me!

Hi! I was in the same position as you and am very upset with the situation!! I'm going to email the addy on this thread to talk with you guys too. I find it extremely unprofessional what they did to us!!

I work at Providence Holy Cross Hospital and they have lost a substantial amount of money this year. With the opening of the new wing and the over hiring of med surg/dou nursing they are in the position of asking nursing to voluntarily resigns with a severance packages. They have fired the Director of Nursing, the manager of telemetry/ dou and the head of human resources shortly after finding out that the hospital has lost money. They pay a lot of money also to provide nurses on night shift with 3 months off a year, while other departments like Respiratory Therapist are being called off in rotation and having to use there PTO. They are not financially or administratively stable right now.

hey J177.....the same thing happened to me. I was offered an ICU new grad position. They told me to call them around this time to see if they will be having a Feb new grad program. Hopefully they do.

They must have found a pot of gold somewhere if they truly are serious getting everyone's hopes up again.
