Generally hospitals want 6 month experience in a nursing home. It's not impossible to get a position in a hospital with no experience, but if it's what you're after, you'll do better to be working in a nursing home rather than assisted living.

It's not assisted living experience you'll need, it's nursing home experience. The greater your hands-on time with cares, ADLs, etc, the greater the chance an acute-care facility will take you on.
