Hi everyone! Who else has applied and does anyone know by when will they start to contact us for interviews? This would be my last chance to get into a new grad program, otherwise I would have to wait til the summer. So please feel free to post anything and everything here! Good luck to everyone!!
Good to know! Thanks!
Fyi- Hoag in Newport will drop you in a beat. They write you up for anything and everything. If you dont cap the Iv lines right - written up. Perk at your phone, written up.
Its very professional and i support that- but there is no mercy there. New grads have a low survival rate, and you have to be good looking to work there. Just a heads up
I did my preceptorship at White and on my floor there was a mix of BSN and ADN new grads mostly from APU or Rio Hondo. Everyone was super supportive of the new grads and even me (even though I was just a random nursing student @ the time ). The new grads mostly worked nights and the expectations of them were very reasonable. They were all very bright and the vast majority of them I interacted with would not have stuck out to me as "new nurses" because they were confident. All in all White is an amazing place to start out at because they are really invested in helping their new grads build a solid footing. Good luck to everyone hope we hear something soon!

Lizzyxpooh: From what I've gathered from my friend, she is very pleased with the new grad program at White. She is in the ICU and says that all of the staff and the unit manager are all very nice and supportive of the new grads. She also mentioned that new grads on other units seemed pleased as well. From what I've gathered from talking to my friend, the expectations of the new grads are pretty reasonable. The preceptorship is 18-20 weeks depending on the unit you get hired on. I don't think White is the kind of place to drop new grads in a beat, they really value commitment to their hospital and would most likely work to support a new grad before getting rid of them:)
