What this tells you
They know the process
A steady run of permits means Sacred Heart Nursing Home has been through the application more than once and knows what the Department asks for. A candidate does not have to explain the system to them.
How to approach them
Time it to the rhythm
This year Sacred Heart Nursing Home's permits peaked in March. Hiring rounds tend to repeat, so an application a couple of months ahead of that lands when the decision is being made.
