[color=#669966]information for new nursing graduates

congratulations on the completion of your nursing program! listed below is information about our program for new graduate rns, as well as answers to frequently asked questions (faqs).

due to contractual agreements with local schools of nursing, we generally have adequate new graduate registered nurses to fill our open positions.

this goes along with what i was told, i was told the contracts were not with individual students like has been done in the past but that they have agreements to hire i think it is 25 students a semester between 3 different schools. (something close to that i can't remember and would have to go search for the email). students are chosen during their last semester when they are doing their internships (or is it externships i can never remember which is which) they also list positions for new nurse grads for er two times a year on the website that is not part of the contracts. again this came straight from the nursing recruiter. "

update on pvh student contracts:

i recently spoke with frcc and unc (the local nursing schools) and they both said that this is the last year that pvh will be having contracts with new grad students. the 'contracts' were actually scholarships that some students received in exchange for working with the hospital for a designated time after graduation. unc said that pvh has a ton of newer nurses with adns and they want to train them up to bsns before taking on more adn new grads. pvh's website still shows that they have local contracts with schools, but i imagine that info will be coming down soon.
