RIH/Hasbro Critical Care Internships:

[lei7]

I was just wondering if anyone has any information about the Critical Care Internships offered for new grads at Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children's?

First priority is given to students who work there, do any external applicants ever get accepted?

Do they really wait until May to make decisions?

Anyone take part?

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

cjcsoon...dows that mean you have heard already??

So it is now May. The letter I received said that we would hear by the end of the month. I guess I wasn't chosen?

Does anyone know if they plan on calling those who were chosen, or do they email or snail mail out the responses.

So sad....

Guess its time for me to apply to even MORE rehabilitation centers in massachusetts that dont even want me because I dont have ANY experience!!

riagomez OUCH. I knew it was going to be tough, but I guess it just wasn't ment to me.

Everything happens for a reason. I live life to this rule and hold it to be true for everything, no matter how crappy the situation is!

Better luck next time I guess...

Best of luck in your job search.

just curious, are these paid internships?

Yes they are paid internships. You do the internship and most of the time you are offered a position because they have already paid you for all this training so they don't like to waste all that money but the positions are also very hard to get.

Did anyone apply to this program for summer entry? I just applied and am wondering if anyone has any info on how many they are likely to accept? Also, do they really stick strictly to Lifespan CNAs?

[katyb213]

I just applied for summer entry too. However, I do not have much information. I was wondering the same things. Hopefully we will hear something soon!

I talked to a nurse manager last week. She mentioned there are 8-9 positions available. They do give priority to RIH employees.

Also if you are interested, their regular new grad program (for med/surg positions) will be posted in August under the jobs section of the website. Be on the look out if interested. I was told by HR that the program involves a 12 week full time orientation then 16-24 hr. part time with no benefits.

Good luck everyone!
