sorry, i meant last week in April.

On the website it people will hear back by the last week in May. Does that mean they are taking longer because there have more applications this year?

April, you were right, I was asking about jobs and not preceptoships. I think you make a good point about emailing a resume to a manager. I don't seem to be getting very far with nurse recruiters and I know they are extremely busy. Thank you for the advice...let the search continue!

Kevin, in my research for new grad critical care jobs I have found a number of experienced RN ICU transition programs. In fact, a lot of ICU positions I've seen will accept applications from RN's with any type of acute care experience. A lot of positions require telemetry experience so I think you should be able to find something relatively quickly. Goodluck!

Thanks for the advice April. What programs do you know of? You may know ones I haven't found yet...Also, is it a good idea to call the floor directly or do you think that will just make people angry. Nurse recruiters aren't calling me back or answering my emails...

Hello all, I am a senior nursing student graduating with a BSN in May and really want a critical care internship. Anyone know of any good programs? Not just ones that have preceptorships for 5 weeks and then send you out to the dogs...lol. I am looking in the New Endland area (MA, VT, RI, CT, NH, etc.) but am willing to go south or west for a good program. Most of the websites say they have programs but don't list how to apply...HELP? Any advice from people in critical care programs or seasoned nurses is greatly appreciated!!!
