Wow.. didnt even get an interview:(

[fawnsternurse]

Well, took a chance and applied to NYU in Westchester for per diem Nurse and received a form letter stating :

Thank you for your interest in NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. While

your qualifications are impressive, you were not selected to interview

for Per Diem Psychiatry Nurse.

We wish you the best of luck with your job search.

:chuckle

Wow... that was a nice , humbling experience.

Cant say that has ever happened to me before... but I guess there is a first time for everything!

Jezzzz,

If thats what they sent to people with expirience, I can only imagine what they will tell me, a new grad!!!!!!!!!

It sucks, but it was nice of them to send a letter.

[goodgrief]

I received the same email. I think we need to wait until around the end of March (when they begin posting their new grad positions). Also, I'm going to be persistent/patient. I really want to go to NYP in one of their ICU's as a new grad. I'm just going to persist until they offer something, I have a few contacts :)

I will have to say that at least they did you the courtesy of sending a form letter. Many employers will actually lead you on at the interview or next contact and then you never hear again from them. I have never received a response to online applications and got a "who are you?" from an employer when I called them back. Now that is what I call rude and condescending. I tell everyone I know about the treatment they can expect from these employers. Kudos for the employer who thought you were important enough to inform you that you were not selected.

When I applied with NYP I got the same email, if my qualifications are impressive, so why aren't you hiring me?

It sounds like they may be on a hiring freeze d/t the economy. With both Mary Immaculate and St. John's closing in a month, I am sure they must be deludged with nurse applicants; and, with the economy, unable to afford to hire substancial nursing staff.

However, it certainly was professional and courteous of them to send an email like that. Says a lot for them.

I also got the same e-mal from NYP, but I'm only a new grad. I think I probably did not apply correctly. Meaning I didn't attach my transcripts, professonal references, etc. I'm still going to apply again!
