Does anyone know what units typically are open for Sharp New Grads?
It depends on the staffing needs of the hospitals. Usually I've seen all units available except ICU environments. The ICU may open up after the nurse has completed their rotation through the new grad program. I have not seen new grad openings in the OR or PACU.
I hope this helps. Good luck to all. :)
You're welcome. I should clarify that the usual New Grad positions are for Med-Surg/PCU rotations or unit-based-only rotations such as PCU, L&D or ER. After you complete the rotation, the positions are more varied for a unit. You normally still need to apply for a position after the rotation ends.
Does that make sense? I haven't had my daily dose of coffee yet. :)

How would one go about applying to the ICU? Should I register for PCU, since it'll give me a better shot? Thanks!
