Attn New Grads @ Northside/Piedmont

Published

Curious, did have medical job background help you getting into the New Grad program? Unsure if I should try going through a CNA/PCT certification to help me in the long run at these particular hospitals. Thanks in advance.

They never really asked about it in my interview. They like whichever area you did your senior practicum in, for example, if you are applying for and want to work in ICU they like to see you did your senior practicum in an ICU

Your best bet is to do an externship after your first year of nursing school.

They did not seem to care about previous healthcare experience except in cases of externships in specialty areas. They were more interested in practicum placement. I had offers at both and had no previous healthcare exp.
