Capital Health System - Fuld & Mercer Campuses

[Qtp2t RN]

Hi all,

Can anyone provide any information at all about Capital Health System's orientation or new grad pay rate, or even about the work environment? Information about either the Fuld or Mercer campus would be helpful. I'm aware that CHS is Magnet certified and in a not so nice area. Ideally, I would really like to get in as a GN in Helene Fuld's Trauma Center. Both campuses are soooo close to home for me, but I can't seem to find any information at all for new grads that's not out of date. I won't graduate from my BSN program until September 2008 but the time's approaching quickly to begin applying for jobs.

Thank you in advance to anyone who is able to provide any info whatsoever.

RWJ Hamilton is not yet accepting applications for their internship program.

From what I've heard, they will not be opening up the submission of resumes or doing interviewing until April...or until it is posted on their website. Supposedly RWJH and Princeton both hire 10 new grads in an "intern" position pending the passage of boards. You are guaranteed a job after successful completion of the internship, but not guaranteed a specific unit. I believe the intern program is 12 weeks in duration.

Princeton is currently accepting applications and interviewing for their internship program.

I think CHS might be a little bit tougher to get into as a new graduate from an outside institution because they have their own nursing school. A large portion of their own graduates work there. But that's just my

Rn2be, is Princeton interviewing for May grads or September grads at this time?

May only at this time, as far as I know.
