What makes working in your organization different from working for other employers? Platte County Memorial Hospital is a smaller hospital that has the best of both worlds. It is in a rural community with all the advantages of small town living combined with the advances of a modern health care facility. The hospital provides many opportunities for growth, as it is connected with several other facilities within the Banner Health System. Can you explain the career opportunities available for new graduates in your organization? The Platte County Memorial Hospital is always open to hiring new graduate RN’s. There is a very structured orientation program throughout the Banner Health System in place. This program, the “Nurse Residency Program,” runs two to three times per year. A new graduate RN comes into the system, participates in training and education, obtains knowledge and experiences in different nursing units, and is then eventually placed at one of our hospitals. Occasionally we do hire other new graduates in areas such as radiology or therapy, and a structured orientation program is available in these specialty areas as well. What can a candidate expect during their interview process? The candidate will have a private interview with a manager, which could turn into a group interview. Position duties and details are discussed with the candidate. The organization is also discussed in more detail. There are times when the interview begins with a phone interview and can lead to a personal interview. At that time, the candidate is flown in and reimbursed for expenses What are some common mistakes candidates make when applying for jobs with your facility? Applicants frequently do not tell us enough about their knowledge, skill, ability and experience. Often they omit identifying certifications they have earned and training they have received. While a candidate may apply for one position, we may also wish to consider her/him for other positions for which she/he may be qualified. 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? Within our organization, one has to be conducive towards change. Our organization has evolved and expanded over the years.
