I keep getting denied for graduate nursing positions. ***!

1 i keep getting denied for graduate nurse positions. what does it mean when i get a reply back from the hospital that say: "we have completed processing your resume/application. we certainly acknowledge your qualifications and achievements, but are unable to offer the position to you at the present time, as your background does not best match our current openings." i just do not understand. what does, .."as your background does not best match our current openings" mean?

It means you are going up against 500 other GNs plus 250 inhouse GN employees. Get in line with the rest of them buddy.

It doesn't mean anything... it's just boiler-plate lingo to tell you that, of the hundreds of applicants, they found others that they wanted more.Possible reasons:1) Just luck of the draw... they don't go through all the apps - just enough to get enough people to interview. Nursing grads are a dime-a-dozen and there's little to distinguish them.2) Your GPA is not as high as they want... or it's too high (go figure, but some people think higher grades are a negative)3) You didn't graduate from their "preferred" program4) Your app wasn't tagged by having a contact on the inside5) You're older - or younger - than they want to hire.and on and on and on.The verbage in their copy means nothing in particular beyond, "We're not interested."

This is just a generic computer generated response.Don't take it personally.

It sucks, I know how you feel. Are you only applying to New Grad positions? I got hired recently, and I applied to a regular RN position. Check those out and if they don't require experience, then apply. Good Luck!

Don't take it personally its just a generic response from the HR system and it doesn't reflect on your education or experience. Hang in there something will turn up.

It's just a polite way of saying you weren't the most impressive or desirable candidate and you didn't get the job. Don't read too much into it.
