BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you're a nurse looking for a new job, Catholic Health Home Care is hiring.
The company is holding a 'On the Spot' hiring event on Thursday, August 11 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 4201 Genesee Street in Cheektowaga.
Catholic Health Home Care will hold open interviews for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses. Managers and recruiters will be on hand to accept your application and conduct a private interview. Formal offers will be made to those who qualify to expedite the hiring process. Offers could include a bonus of up to $20,000. In addition, the first 15 Home Care RNs hired from this event will receive an additional $10,000 bonus.

Those who refer may also receive a bonus of up to $5,000 to anyone who successfully recommends a nursing candidate who is hired for the bonus-eligible positions throughout Catholic Health.
Bolstering the health care shortage is also pushing the state to do more to recruit and retain health care workers.
Just last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a $1.3 billion program that would allocate money to increase recruitment efforts for health care facilities. Additionally, it'll pay out bonuses to those health care workers earning less than $125,000 per year.
“Throughout the pandemic, including the early days when many were hunkered down at home, our healthcare workers and first responders have shown up day after day to save lives,” Gov. Hochul said. “Health care workers are the foundation of our medical system, and we need to acknowledge the sacrifices they have made to bring us through these challenging times.
