Ft. Worth new grad...internships?

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I am a new grad (ADN) and will be moving to Ft. Worth in about a month. I have been searching job opportunities and looking for insight on this site. I see people post about internships and I am wondering if internships are required as a new grad. I have looked at different hospital's sites and have seen info about the internships, but didn't see how to apply. Other hospital's sites didn't even mention internships, so do you just apply for a job? I would love to begin applying, but don't know how to properly go about it. I'd appreciate any info offered.

It is really difficult here. We have tons of nursing schools pumping out way more nurses than we need. I think Parkland and John Peter Smith (county hospitals) have programs, but they have many local grads applying I am sure.

I am sorry, I wish I could tell you better news. I hope I am wrong.

Yes, new grads must go through an internship to work at local hospitals here. The majority of internships are filled for the May grads by March. It is late to apply, so if you don't see any job listings for internships or GN jobs on the hospital's website, it is because the spots are full.
