Anyone working for St. Jude?

Congrats on starting nursing school and thanks for being a paramedic for so long. I worked in the ER for a while, and I realize what an awesome job y'all really do.

About St. Jude, I have never personally worked there, but we went on a recruitment trip there during school. To my surprise, there are actually only about 60 inpatient beds in that huge facility. It is mostly outpatient and research. I don't know how far Mountain Home is from Memphis, but if it is possible I would recommend you applying for an internship to get your foot in the door. If you need any additional information, please pm me, and I will get you a contact's name and email (my nsg mgmt professor is the CNO at St. Jude).

Good luck in school!

St. Jude is a fabulous hospital to work for..great staff support, training, pay, scheduling and benefits. Not an employee, but I have several former co-workers that have gone there because of the above mentioned things. It is however a tough environment and not for everyone. The suggestion to work while a student is a great one. You would be able to take in the whole hospital experience before having to learn the ropes as an RN.
Mountain Home is a long commute to Memphis. Hopefully you will consider some type of living arrangement in the area if you pursue this.
Good luck!
