Looking to get in with Dignity Health as a new grad, any tips?

Hey there, I'm looking to get into Dignity facility, St. Joes preferably. It doesn't look like they do new grad programs, just was wondering if anyone out there working for Dignity or Joes has any info on their hiring process.

I'm a realist, I may not be able to get into Joes and will gladly go where I can get hired, but, doesn't hurt to aim for it. Thanks for any info.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I called HR to talk to them and they said they just don't have enough educators/preceptors to educate new grads on the floors. They told me to keep applying and maybe one of the areas will have some educators

I applied and recently interviewed for the "Student Nurse Extern" at St. Joes and the women in charge of the Education Department said the goal was to transition the Externs into New Grad Hires and they do this 3 times a year.

I guess they do things differently than Banner or Mayo.

Did you work with Jennifer on the extern program?

Jennifer isn't over the extern department any longer :)

HI MM -

They accept applications year round in addition to their externship program. Do you have a specific unit you'd like to work in?

Hi! I know this is not addressed to me but I just came across this comment. I am a new grad graduating in May and am looking at hospitals around Phoenix. I would like to work in the ICU. None of the Dignity hospitals around Phoenix have job postings for new grad programs but I did see a few ICU RN positions, should I apply for those?
