NYC Hospitals that Hire New Grad RNs?

Specialties Emergency

Published

I am taking my boards in two days :eek:. I have already been applying to ER positions, including the fellowships at LIJ, and Winthrop, neither of which I was hired for.

I was wondering if anyone knows of Emergency Departments in NYC that hire new graduate BSN RNs. I would like to apply to these hospitals first to maximize my chances of getting into the ER. My dream position is in the ER at St. Luke's-Roosevelt hospital center, but I don't even know if they hire new grads, so I'll take what I can get.

A bit about me: I have 6 years of EMT experience, an externship in a L1 Trauma, a senior preceptorship in an ER known for its' mental health facilities, and a forensic nursing certificate. I have been networking and trying to make connections at hospitals to get a position in an ER but it is rather disheartening when I have been doing this for over 3 months and have not heard back from anyone.

Thoughts/advice?

New York Presbyterian Cornell accepts a couple of new grads into the ED every year.

NYU's ED has taken a couple of kids (but they knew someone who knew someone) officially, they do not take new grads.

Mount Sinai used to take new grads into the ED (as of 3 years ago) however they currently claim they will not.

I have heard rumors about Queens hospital, Lutheran hospital, and Bellevue taking new grads but cannot confirm.

NYP Cornell has a nurse residency program that was accepting applicants in early May. I spoke to the woman running them on the phone and she said they don't hire new grads to the ER. Regardless, I wasn't able to make it to those New Grad Meet & Greet Event days. Do you think they would hire a new grad to the ER without having applied through the residency program?

Mount Sinai has been going through a lot of changes with their Beth Israel merger lately, so maybe that has impacted things.

I'm not sure about NYP. I know some people in Sinai who were hired straight into the ED as of 2012. And lots of people who transferred in from the hospital after a few months at Sinai. So I think it is still possible. Watch for ED openings on their website (they do post them on there and won't automatically cancel the app because of being a new grad like some applications do)
