Nationwide (Columbus) Children's

I'm a junior nursing student and this is the hospital I have my heart set on for a variety of reasons. And at some point, I plan to work in pediatric oncology.

I'm hoping some nurses that work there or know others that do will chime in.

I saw the recent article about the 2400 (400 nursing) permanent jobs to be added over the next 15 years or something because of the expansion...any take on that?

I've been scanning this forum and it seems that Columbus hospitals aren't doing a lot of hiring, especially new grads. But I have a friend who's daughter was in treatment for cancer the past couple years and she said that quite a few of the nurses on J5 at Nationwide were new grads - something I wouldn't expect.

Anyone with experience at NCH, any suggestions to get my foot in the door? I don't see any externship opportunities on their website and my nursing school is in Toledo.
