Best Programs for New Grads!

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hi, I am a junior nursing student, and will be graduating in May 2008. I would like to find a hospital that is known for having a really good new grad orientation experience, especially in L&D, Nursery, NICU, Perinatal, or Pediatrics!

I know about the hospitals in my small area, and am not especially interested in working in either place. I am willing to relocate almost anywhere in the continental U.S. ... Boston, New York, Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Texas, South Carolina, Raleigh. It doesnt necessarily have to be a huge city! That is where my problem is... I have no preference on location, so I don't even know where to begin looking at hospitals! I would like a hospital with a lengthy orientation, good pay comparable to cost of living, and decent staffing! If anyone knows of any new grad programs that have a really good reputation, or if anyone has gone through one recently that they loved please let me know!:spin: Also, if there are any hospitals that are well-known for their work in any of those specialties that would be great too, I would like to go where I can learn the most! Anything will be helpful, whether it is just the name of a hospital so I could go to a website and research, or if you personally know about the program/hours/pay! Also, would you recommend a large hospital/unit or a small hospital/unit for a better experience? Thank you for any help!:spin:
