Commonwealth Health launches user-friendly website for nursing applicants
4/4/2017
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (April 5, 2017) — Commonwealth Health has launched a new website that streamlines the process for individuals applying for nursing positions and provides more detail regarding openings at its six hospitals.
The new site, CommonwealthHealthNurses.com, supports the health care network’s aggressive recruitment effort launched in February. The hospitals affiliated with Commonwealth Health have begun a multi-county recruitment campaign with the goal of hiring approximately 160 registered nurses and additional support staff this year.
The website allows potential applicants to click on an “I’m Interested” tab that encourages them to fill out a form expressing their interest in specific hospital positions. Once applicants submit their interest and/or resumes via the “I’m interested” button, Commonwealth Health promises a prompt response. The hiring managers will reach out to the applicants directly in the method they have indicated, either by phone or email.
“In the past, people applying for a nursing position had to sift through our website and all of our other open positions,” Cor Catena, CEO of Commonwealth Health, said. “This new website makes it much easier for those seeking nursing jobs at our facilities. We list the openings at each hospital, the department and whether the shift is for day, evening or night.”
An email address, Nurses@CommonwealthHealth.com, has been established for those seeking direct communication with the human resources departments at the hospitals.
The recruitment effort coincides with increased service lines in all six hospitals, improvements to key departments, and major investments in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.
Commonwealth Health is seeking registered nurses in all specialties and at all experience levels, from graduate nurses to experienced clinicians. Positions will be filled at Berwick Hospital Center, First Hospital, Moses Taylor Hospital, Regional Hospital of Scranton, Tyler Memorial Hospital and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Key areas are the emergency department, intensive and critical care, medical/surgical and behavioral health.
Hospitals in the health network also are hiring other clinical and non-clinical support staff including licensed practical nurses and nurse’s aides.
Each hospital within the health care network offers competitive wages and a benefit package that includes tuition assistance, retirement plan contributions, professional support and opportunities for advancement.
