Many hospitals now have nurse residency programs(2-3year contract) they train you for certain specialities. I do agree with one of the previous responses, apply for all/any position and get in first. I know many nurses who jas tried to get in the hospitals and can't. That being said interview and be interested in "all specialties" I did Med/Surg/Tele/Onc. I loved it! I always wanted to be an ER nurse but I love where I'm at now. Best wishes
