Level 1 Trauma Center University Hospitals

Nurses Career Support

I'm a soon-to-be-graduate BSN nurse.

I'm wondering:

~What are the Level 1 Trauma Centers in the U.S. that also have University affiliation (or are known teaching hospitals) ?

*Bonus points if they offer an Emergency new grad residency program.

I'm thinking from near future to longer term career planning. I will continue in my studies (perhaps medical school or other advanced degree in the future) and it would be great to find an employer that also supports further education, as well as establishing contacts, references, and rapport that can make it convenient for further studies.

Thanks in advance!

That can easily be found through Google. What research have you done on this? What are you looking for in a hospital? Are you looking for ER or trauma? What state, or even part of the country? Do you know how hard it is for a new grad to get a job in either of those specialties? Do you expect us to do all of this research for you?

Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia has a new graduate residency for the ED. They are a level 1 trauma center and teaching facility.

Grady in Atlanta, Georgia is also a level 1 trauma center affiliated with Emory University School of Medicine and Morehouse.

Lastly, Atlanta Medical Center has (or did at one point) a new graduate residency in their level 1 trauma center as well --- all three of these are teaching hospitals, all in Georgia obviously.

Hope that helps.

I think New York Presbyterian does.

Also- any level one trauma center has to meet the requirement of being a teaching hospital. That's generally what differentiates level I and level II trauma centers in some cases
