hellosmile 31 Posts Nov 23, 2014 Good luck everyone!! My friend is in the October program for this, and she said that almost everyone in it had externed or at least volunteered in some sort of OR/ER setting.
MissJessRN 55 Posts Has 2 years experience. Nov 24, 2014 ohh so if we didnt extern or volunteer there we dont have a chance? In my BSN program we didnt have the summer off to do externships as it was an accelerated BSN and then i been working since graduation first as RN in primary care and then in inpatient unit in hospital so no time to volunteer. Its so tough to change specialties. Struggles all around...either new grad or experience...we all in the same boat.
hellosmile 31 Posts Nov 24, 2014 Nono, I just meant that many of the accepted NEW GRAD applicants had some sort of OR/ER exposure whether it be from volunteering or an externship.. or they had experience working as PCAs/nursing aides in school. But if if you already work a nursing job, you will also be considered.. since you seem to have some good experience already, you will definitely have a shot! Good luckkkk!!I'm a fresh new grad.. and was rejected from LIJ in October. I've applied to some HHC hospitals but haven't heard anything yet.. would love some advice about getting into the city hospitals
