no new grads allowed in hospitals?

If most of new grads not allowed in Hospitals, where do they work to get the experience? For example, to work in L&D?

New grads are allowed in hospitals. New grads across the US were hired by various hospital systems this year and are working.However, due to the economic slump of several years ago, some hospital systems have been reluctant to hire new grad nurses because:1. They are very expensive to train and precept2. A small number of new grads never 'catch on' 3. They tend to quit before the hospital receives a return on investment (read: many new grads do not stay at their first jobs longer than 2 years)For these reasons, many hospital recruiters and HR managers play it safe by hiring experienced nurses who have a proven track record and will not require an expensive orientation period.

I was hired into L&D as a new BSN grad.

I think it depends on the facility and where you're located.The hospital I work in hires new grads all the time.. Not very often into speciality units, like L&D, CPCU, and ICU, but it does happen...

In my area it's not horribly difficult for new grads in general - it's difficult for new grad ADNs. So they get experience wherever they can while they work on their BSNs - hospice, rehab, psych, LTAC, nursing homes, home health, private duty, corrections... many, many options.A few of my friends worked as birthing assistants at a local birthing center.

Most of the new grads in the area where I live were employed as Nurse Techs and when completed Nursing College were able to stay with the same employer as nurses and some even in specialty areas.

What area do you live OP?

Sacramento
