Hi,
This is what I read when I looked at their website:
This opportunity best serves students who have little to no exposure to health care careers but have a strong interest in exploring possible careers in health care settings.
Interested applicants must:
Be at least 16 years old and a current high school student or recent graduate
Meet at least one of the low-income requirements:
attend a Title 1 school
receive Medicaid
Be a first-generation student whose parents or guardians have not earned a four-year degree and who plans to pursue post-secondary education.
Sounds like they are very specific and maybe the 10year experience as an acute care CNA is the problem.
Perhaps there are simply a vast number of applicants and they have to make a choice. I’ve applied for things exactly where my experiences, skills and education align with the descriptions, and I’ve gotten rejected. I learned not to take it as a missed opportunity but an experience that made me stronger and keep going. Or Perhaps try again. You never know it might be a mixed blessing. Your opportunity may be elsewhere or at another time. There are other ways to get your foot in the door. Don’t stop. Keep your head up. Let that disappointment or sadness fuel your motivation to not give up and keep trying.
What you can do is also just finish school, since you’re only 2 semesters away, pass your nclex, get your license, and then apply. Since you have been on the dean’s list and high honors student, it can work a little more toward your advantage.
Also sometimes it’s just who you know once you’re in Kaiser. Sometimes it’s about who you know, Kaiser culture is a close culture. Best wishes to you.
I think the comments below with the specific requirements is what may have been the influencing factor, not you
You are overwhelmingly to experience with group activity and have leadership roles! Which in time they fear when it comes to unionized and wage increase that you will start issues and protest!
In terms you are a liability and medical felicity don't want that, they just want a low wage easy going individual who won't start any issues!
Don’t dwell on it just move on. It could be any number of things that may have nothing to do with you. You sound like you’re a very accomplished person that has nothing but a bright future to look forward to.
Sorry to ask you but what is your nationality?
Hi, I believe I applied to the same one as you! I also got automatically rejected (no interview despite the info sesh saying they’d interview “all” of us) despite having CNA experience at a SNF (lot less than you though!), lots of volunteering including in hospital & community, TA experience, multiple leadership (including multiple presidency), and 4.0 gpa, (plus running a business if relevant at all). It has been over a month or two at this point and I am still stumped as to why I got automatically rejected as well.
I have peers with little to no experience and no leadership, volunteering, etc who did get the interview and received acceptances. Though I do know of another peer with CNA experience who also did get accepted. So the reasoning to their decisions is tough to figure out and honestly might not ever be truly known unless you manage to have that conversation with the hiring team themselves assuming they would be transparent.
Either way, you definitely do have such great experience! I’m certain that you will be in a great position as a nurse after graduation. I understand this rejection is difficult to accept because I, too, am dealing with a lot of uncertainty and difficulty accepting it. I am also very curious if anyone else has input!
what role did you apply?
This seems to be a case of overqualified. This job is looking for a person who is not experienced in healthcare. Person who is just exploring healthcare. Also you need to be low income and on Medicaid.
