Az RN New Grad Programs

I believe that Prescott hospital is hiring for new grads as of this summer. I checked their website awhile back and it said that they will be starting a new grad program. I think St. Joseph's hospital also does this.

Anyone hear of any programs for new grads? I know MAYO, Scottsdale, CHW, and even Flagstaff are forgoing these programs to external candidates for a while (due to economy?).

Anyone have any input on facilities still running programs like this?

Where are you hearing that from? Is it conjecture from others or did it come from the source? Thanks

I have heard from ALL of these programs...

I am in the SCC Scottsdale Health Care program and I can also say they are not taking new grads YET.. Mayo also specifically called to say they were not taking any more New grads (this was about a month ago). JCL is also full. Banner goes back and forth but thier website will tell you clearly " new new grads" for some of their spots.. However, Chandler just hired someone in my class in their program; in the recruiter says to apply and its up to the floor manager.... Mercy Gilbert Specifically said no new grads.. However- Maricopa County will be hiring for their new grad program (heard from the recruiter; St Joes also.. VA still taking new grads.. Abrazo hospitals have not declined new grads yet.. ) Tucson Hospitals have new grad programs too. Hope that helps..
