I am currently in the graduate entry MSN program at Ohio State specializing in neonatology. To become a board certified NNP two years nursing experience in the NICU is required. I am currently trying to figure out which hospitals accept/hire graduate entry nursing students during this two year period. I know both OSU and Nationwide Children's hire OSU grad entry student. I am looking to potentially relocate to from Ohio to Austin, TX for my 2 year RN work period if I can find a job. After hours of research I cannot find out if the NICUs in Austin will hire graduate entry student.
I would love any insights about NICUs in Austin TX and if they hire grad/direct entry student with their RN during the required 2 year work period?
Yes I did get your other post. Thanks so much for all the helpful information. I completely understand that I am an anomaly in the nursing world, but I don't see how I could not inform my work place of my grad-entry status. That information is contained in my resume and justifies why I don't have a BSN and such limited experience in the field.
I am glad you mention switching you license so easily, because that was another concern of mine as well!
I know this is a long shot because this post was 2 years ago, but I'm currently applying for the NNP program at OSU and just submitted my application. I'm just wanting to know what were your thoughts on the program? Also, I'm getting super nervous on even getting admitted. I meet all the requirements as in gpa and experience but I'm not sure how competitive the program is. If you could give me any insight to the program I would be extremely grateful! Thanks!
