Yeah I've heard similar! I'd love to work somewhere in Peds! I'm really lovin PICU/Peds ER, but IDK if they hire into those spots for new grads, so I'll take anywhere! I'm grateful I was able to do my senior preceptorship in Peds, but I also hinted at it in my cover letter. My GPA isn't super impressive (3.4), but I was able to volunteer during nursing school for a Mom/Baby unit. I've also got certs like ACLS, PALS, BLS, NIHSS, NRP, and STABLE. I put on my resume that I did some additional outside training courses/skills days (Stop the bleed and a community skills day for peds at another hospital). I wasn't able to do any externships/internships either, but I've been working as a CNA/ER Tech for the last couple of years.

Awesome stats!! That's amazing OMG Yeah I think I heard some rumors or from a previous forum that they were on a hiring freeze for a while and it affected the new grads. I'm not sure how reliable or true it is but if that's also what you heard then I'm thinking it's probably the case. Who knows how many spots are available this time around ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope so! I'm not really sure how many they take but I've seen posts on LinkedIn that have 70-80 total new grads (both cohorts combined). I'm not sure if that's how many they're taking this time around or if it's really dependent on the organization needs.

Thank you so much for creating this! I didn't see a forum either and was gonna create one but you beat me to it ? Just submitted mine today 4/8. Good luck to everyone!
