new grad er positions??

[snk]

Does anyone know of an ER's in the new england area (preferably boston) that hire new grads into the ER? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[leslie :-D]

i know that mass general has extensive preceptorships for new grads in the icu.

there's a possibility they have the same orientations for the er.

it's worth looking into. much luck to you.

This is true as long as you are a BSN

I went from school to the ER.....but I had been an Army medic and paramedic for more years than I care to remember and it was still hard to do. I strongly suggest you go and get a year's experience on the floor doing med-surg before you even think about ER. Even then, try to find one that has a preceptor program.

It's broken down two ways. Either a small ER where you're on your own (with no experience to draw from) or a big multi-trauma ER where you will be overwhelmed and eaten up. Trust that there is NO exception to the above for a new grad.

Mass General told me that they prefer up to 3 years on a Med Surg floor for a new grad before they consider them to work in the ER.

Depending on where you live in Ma there are many hospitals now offering internships to new grads.

I went as a new grad directly into a Level 1 truama center and well known Er with no Er and or pre-hospital experience If they are hiring new grads they will def. take you especially with the nursing shortage they need nurses in every dept. Just make sure you get into a hospital that offers a great orientation program for new grads that very important cause in an ER you can sink fast if your are just thrown into things Good Luck

What ER are you working at TraumaRN?

I'd get at least a year of med/surg under your belt first.

There are hospitals that take new grads. Southcoast hospitals have a 6 month preceptorship program.
