Question about new grads at Albany Med/ other hospitals in the Capitol region

Published

Hi everyone! I am a nursing student and about to graduate from a diploma RN program this upcoming summer. I plan on starting a RN-BSN program the fall after I graduate.

After graduation, I'm planning on moving to the Albany area. I'm researching hospitals in the Capitol Region that I could potentially apply to closer to graduation. I know Albany Medical Center hires new grads (and is a teaching hospital), but I was curious if they hired new grads into specialties, particularly L&D. I know I saw some posts of new grads getting hired into specialties a few years ago, but I wondered if this was still occurring. If not, is anyone aware of any other hospitals in the Capitol Region that do hire new grads into OB specialties? I have a passion for L&D (I just finished my OB rotation a month ago and really loved it) I know it's a very difficult specialty to get into (especially for a new grad with no experience), but I wanted to see what others have experienced or observed regarding this.

Thanks!

Ob is my speciality but its best to start out with med/surg for some experience. That what I was told to get your skills down pack.
