It might be a good thing to ask them directly. You can call their nurse recruiter and just ask.
Frankly, I've never heard of a hospital willing to train new grads that does NOT require a work commitment. Usually anywhere from 18 months to two years. It usually is a signed contract and there is a monetary penalty for not fulfilling the requirement.
Why would a hospital spend all that money on training a new grad and expect nothing in return?

very true and understandable. since i will be bound by contract to whatever hospital i am hired at, i just want to make sure that i will be going through a good new grad program.

thanks for your response!

I actually work at hawaii medical center east. If you are a new grad and wanted to work med surg then the contract is 18 months and if you wanted to go into critical care the contract is 2 years.

ALOHA to everyone,
For real as a foreign RN applying in a hospital like HMC do they require experience here in the states because i just migrated last June 2007 so i hope they are not picky to this point iam still waiting for interviews in diff agencies hopefully i start working feb i wish so.
I dont know what to do it seems that i feel discriminated i hope not. GOD BLESS But iam not giving up.
