Our organization is what we call a “healing organization”. We stress compassion. Quality of course, is closely monitored. We also look to the needs of the caregiver. There is a lot of personal relationship training done in our organization. At St. Charles, We "WALK THE TALK," and emphasis is placed on having compassion not just for the patient, but for the caregiver as well. Can you explain the career opportunities available for new graduates in your organization? Many new graduates from Central Community College come through our hospital for their clinical rotations. Our 90-day orientation period is a well-defined structured program. Helping the new nurses become familiar with their duties is a task we take very conscientiously. Our “Internship Program” as we call it helps new hires throughout the process, and the new graduates are accepted into the program for rotations on the medical or surgical floor. After successful completion of the orientation our hope is they will go into the position that we have open for them. They work with a preceptor for the entire 90 days. What can a candidate expect during their interview process? The applicant’s application will be prescreened in the Human Resource Office. From there, we send the materials to the unit managers to review. A follow up call is placed to the candidate whose qualifications fit an available opening. Those applicants who are not invited to interview will receive a letter from our office. What are some common mistakes candidates make when applying for jobs with your facility? Not having their application completely filled out and occasionally attaching their resume instead of filling out the employment history part of the application. It's very important for candidates to take the time to fill out the employment application accurately and completely. Another factor that may aid a potential applicant during the application process, is to take the time to read over the job description along with the general qualifications of the position before applying. Applicants who are unsure if they have the necessary qualifications can always e-mail us or telephone HR to ask more questions and/or to verify qualifications needed prior to beginning the application process. Most facilities stress only the positive aspects of working for their organization. What are some of the challenges faced by new employees and even experienced personnel? St. Charles has an excellent reputation and it may or may not be a challenge in a sense that we are really serious about people being accountable for their actions. This includes accountability in the area of personal relationships and stressing the importance of team problem solving and interpersonal skills. St. Charles Bend is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), and is licensed for 261 beds, including a 18-bed inpatient rehabilitation center.
