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.

I agree with sallyp911, they are still in the same predicament 3 months ago. Believe me, nothing has changed. One rejection was enough for me because it is a indication of how they value their employees. I am blessed to have picked myself up and found an amazing RN position at a better hospital that pays much more. Holy Cross is a lost cause.

Just wondering, how much was the hourly that they offered you as a new grad?

Specializes in Pediatrics.

I have an interview for Friday for their new grad program. Do you think I'm wasting my time?

DOn't look at it that way. Going to interviews are never a waste of time. Every interview is a great learning experiences. However because of Holy Cross crappy reputation, do not stop looking for a job elsewhere. Even if they offer you the job, still apply to other hospitals because Holy Cross will NOT, I repeat WILL NOT, keep their word. Offering you a job does not guarantee you anything. I won't be surprise if they do hire you and then have to let you go after 6months-1 year due to budget cuts. SO if you get hired try to get all the experiences you can and then RUN! Gluck

I guess things have turned around for this hospital. My friend's roommate was just hired for their new grad program for 2012. It seems the new wing of the hospital is now filled to capacity and they are on a hiring hike now. There are looking to fill many new grad spots.
