Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for this post. I am one of those new grads to go straight into a specialty. In fact, I was hired to work in ER 6 months before I graduate this coming December. None of that 2 year minimum…..they’re hiring while you’re still in school! Desperate times call for desperate measures. The best part about every area grasping for nurses is that the specialty areas are “sponsoring” new grads. For instance, I got hired months ago in ER, I graduate in December and the hospital I’m working in is paying my tuition and travelling costs to do my extra critical care schooling….PLUS paying my full-time wage at the same time. Essentially, they are so much in need they are PAYING people to go to school. What an opportunity! How could I say no to free school……no, actually, PAID school?!
