ELMIRA, N.Y. (WENY) -- In a notoriously tough labor market, Arnot Health is looking to ramp up recruiting efforts. To help towards that end, Arnot is hosting an open house on Friday, March 10th specifically in an effort to find more nurses.

Anyone with graduate or licensed practical nurses and registered nurses and looking for a job is encouraged to visit the Arnot Ogden Medical Center Petrie West Conference Room located at 600 Roe Ave. in Elmira. 

The event is scheduled to take place between 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will include a tour of units, visits with new and experienced nurses already on staff, information on the Arnot's nurse residency program and the opportunity to be interviewed and potentially receive an employment offer on the same day. 

To encourage people to come on board Arnot said they are offering competitive compensation programs and a potential sign-on bonus.
