Rush University Medical Center Hiring Process

Published

Specializes in Adolescent & Adult Psychiatry.

Hello all!

It's been so long since I've made any contribution to ALLNURSES and I feel horrible for it! However, I'll get rid of that feeling quickly by asking the following few questions. I currently work at a community hospital in Chicago and feel that I need to go back to a much larger hospital and gain even more experience. I'm currently a Psych RN, but recently, I've wanted to branch out and enhance (or, at this point, relearn) all of the nursing skills.

Having said that, I've finally gotten somewhere in Rush Medical Center's hiring process as my resume has been forwarded to the specific department. My question is this; how long does it take for an email or phone call to come through for a possible interview? Of course, this is for anyone who works or has at least interviewed there or at any other major hospital. I'm sure that they probably have similar hiring processes. I made a nice little follow-up call earlier yesterday and they told me to just "keep being proactive". Hmmmm, makes your mind rattle, huh? :p

If anyone has any words of wisdom or some Ativan to help me calm down from over-analyzing everything it would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. Please don't send me Ativan from your PYXIS or OMNI systems. I want you to keep your license just as much as I want to keep mine!

Thanks so much for any feedback as it is greatly appreciated!

I had an interview with Rush for a student internship, and it probably took them two months to get back to me for an interview. I have a friend that works there, and she told me that when she got hired, she bugged the crap out of HR. So I would say just keep calling them, emailing them, etc. If they forwarded your resume, that's a good start.
