How likely is it to get employed with the hospital you do your partnership with?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to decide which hospital to do my partnership at which will be starting in January. I live in southern NH and some of my friends are choosing to go to boston because they believe they are likely to get employed with them after we graduate in may. I just wanted to know based on others experiences, how likely it is to become employed with the hospital you choose to do your partnership at. It would be awesome to go to boston if it meant I had a good chance of being hired as a new grad, but I somehow find that unlikely since most places want nurses with some experience. So it's tough choosing to either pick a local hospital, or deal with the commute to boston or some where in Mass. Thanks!

The job market is tough right now.......even the facilities who offer new grad residencies do not promise employment. I would stick closer to home on a smaller scale where the employees "know" each other. You might have a better chance.

It might not get you a job there right away but if after you get some experience you wish to apply there it might get you a little leg up on some of the applicants to be able to put on your application that you worked there at one point even if it was a partnership.
