I work at cghc and im pretty sure that they re-started the loan reimbursement.

Wondering what you decided! I've been working at CGHC for a year and a half and have enjoyed it for the most part!

We have one at CGHC. Great experience there. I got pulled down to the NICU once and it was pretty neat and the nurses are all very helpful towards one-another.

Apply early is my best advice. Prior to graduation a year and a half-ago from SLU i thought "oh it will be so easy getting a job blah blah blah we have great grad-placement, i have great recommendations, etc".. I decided to wait until after taking my NCLEX to look for a job. I passed my NCLEX then started applying in July... I didn't get a job offer until September! I am REALLY glad that I waited until passing boards to start work, but I would have #1 taken boards sooner #2 applied to jobs when they told us to in school. Places just get so many job apps during graduation season (may, aug, dec) good luck to you! hope this helped

Hope you're studies are going well.

I heard that as I came closer to graduating nursing school, however, I went with what I enjoyed the most: working with children. I'm on a general med-surg pediatric floor for the past year and a half and it has been a wonderful experience. I've learned so much about disease process and about nursing care in general. Either way it is an experience in nursing and any experience is better than no experience. If you love working with kids, then go into pediatrics. Why spend the first time working as an RN in a field that you are not that interested in? I'm going for my masters in august to be a FNP. The only issue i ran into was that I've only worked in Peds, but luckily I had an awesome comprehensive in Adult Neuro as well as adult rotations on med-surg floors. Looking back, I would not have done ANYTHING differently. Do Peds first. It's so rewarding and you'll be happy doing what youre doing!
