Baptist Careers FAQs

1. How can I begin a career in health care?
It depends on your area of interest. Most non-clinical positions, such as clerical, support and professional, will have the same requirements as similar positions in other fields. However, health care clinical positions, such as nurses, radiologists, therapists, lab technicians or technologists, respiratory therapists or pharmacy professionals, require additional training. If you’re interested in pursuing an education in health care or would like more information about educational requirements, please contact the Baptist College of Health Sciences at 1-866-575-BCHS(2247) or visit www.bchs.edu. The State of Tennessee also has a useful Web site, www.tnhealthcareers.com, for people interested in health care careers.

2. Does Baptist train people for certain positions?
It depends on the minimum requirements for the position. In general, Baptist does not offer training programs and requires that applicants are appropriately certified to qualify for consideration. For more information about the background or training required for current Baptist positions, please view the job postings in the employment service or human resources office and at www.baptistonline.org/careers/.

3. When is the employment office open?
It varies by entity. However, the employment services office in Memphis, Tenn., is open to applicants from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on observed holidays. If you’re not applying in Memphis, please contact the local Baptist Memorial hospital in your area for the facility’s human resources hours.

4. Where is the employment office located?
Baptist employment services in Memphis, Tenn., is located at 6305 N. Humphreys Blvd., Suite 210. Directions: From I-240, exit on Walnut Grove heading "EAST." Stay in the right-hand lane after you exit, drive past the main hospital entrance and veer right on to Humphreys Blvd. At the first set of traffic lights, turn right into the entrance for the Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women, then take an immediate left turn into the Financial Federal building parking lot. The Employment Services office is located on the second floor of the first building (closest to Women’s hospital). Walk in the main front doors under the Financial Federal sign, take the elevator to the second floor, then follow the directional signs to the application area.

5. How do I find out the status of my application?
Applications are reviewed by a recruiter who forwards applications of qualified candidates to the hiring manager(s) for consideration. The manager reviews all qualified applications and schedules interviews at his or her discretion. Employment services or human resources cannot put you in touch with hiring managers. If 90 days have passed and you have not been contacted, we encourage you to return to our office and submit a new application.

6. Am I eligible for rehire?
Former Baptist employees should have been informed at the time of their separation from Baptist whether or not they would be eligible for rehire in the future. If you are a former employee interested in returning to Baptist and are unsure of your status, we encourage you to place an application on file with us. Should you be considered for hire, your status will be evaluated at that time along with many other hiring factors, including education, experience and licensure.

7. I am a former employee and wonder if I can bridge back into the system?
Baptist will bridge the hire date of returning employees if:

The employee was full-time at Baptist for at least one year
The employee is returning to Baptist full time, but has been out of the system for less than six months
The employee was full-time at the time of termination

8. What happens to my application if I do not receive an offer for this particular position?
Even if the position for which you have applied is filled, you’re still considered for similar positions. Your application remains active for 90 days after submission.

9. What's your starting pay for "x" position?
Pay ranges vary by position and experience. If you are called for an interview, the manager or interviewer may discuss pay with you following the interview.

10. Does Baptist offer sign-on bonuses?
No. Baptist provides excellent benefits and competitive pay to all employees. We strive for excellent patient care and the only way to offer that is to have employees who are well cared for and content with their employment.
