Jiwan and I are cohort-mates! (HI @JIWAN!!!). We both went to the Henderson campus. I stayed in the Vegas area, passed my NCLEX on Feb 28, had a job interview for Valley Health System on March 7th (offered a job on the spot!!), then the next day got a call from the HCA StaRN Program to come for a panel interview. I stuck with Valley though since it was already set. I'm currently in my preceptorship, charting and stuff on 2 patients (but still helping with the remaining 4 of my preceptor's patient load). I know a lot of my classmates got positions in the StaRN program, like at least 15 people for the April Cohort, and I think some are getting interviewed for the July cohort. The rest of us are at Valley and some went out of state (California, Oregon, Washington mainly). For Valley Health, definitely look into open interviews and job fairs and just introduce yourself. HCA -- gotta go online and do the StaRN program. At the moment, Dignity Health (St Rose's) are on like a super hiring freeze.. and UMC and VA are just really hard to get into haha -- but if you got the connects, GO FOR IT! I've heard of other Roseman grads who weren't able to get into the acute care setting, starting off at a rehab and then applying in like 6mo-1yr to a hospital.
