If she really wants to work in a specialty right after graduation, she should find a hospital that has a REALLY good new grad specialty program.
FYI- I know you said you're in Miami, but if she's looking at ER's, stay away from JFK in Atlantis. I've never worked there, but they are ALWAYS hiring, and I've heard it's a horrible place to work....
