Hey Vanilladreams,
I think it is more beneficial if you already do work in a hospital before you apply for a new graduate program. I worked with an agency as a casual halfway through second year through NAA. I could choose my availabilities and which hospitals I didn't want to go. I ended up applying to the hospital that I worked the most with during my time as an Agency AIN.
Working in a hospital allows you at least some exposure as to how things work in the hospital setting. What we learn in class isn't always followed and things don't alway run smoothly.
You can understand the actual hospital works. How the routine is and How the staff is.
But Hey if you can sell it you may get one.. But usually it will work better in your favour if you work in a hospital first.
