I am a very recent grad.... MAY 2!!! I have already accepted a job on post op open heart floor. I did my last semester of clinicals AND my 88hr practicum on the same floor. I absolutely loved the floor... the staff is wonderful and made me feel very welcome!! I decided to apply for a nights position that was open..... there were two positions open. The manager hired TWO... yes I said TWO new grads for the positions. I believe that new grads CAN work in this position as a new grad. I had some GREAT nurses train me so why not?!?!? I am really looking forward to working on this floor.

Congratulations on graduating and getting a great job. I too graduated in May, and I got a job in a cardiac ICU for children (newborns to 18 years). It should be fun.
