Just thought this would be a good place to compare notes. I just sent my application packet back for the Critical Care internship program starting in February 2012. I missed the last application deadline because I was still caught up with school, etc so I'm very excited to be applying for it. I'm also applying for the ED internship and the medical nurse internship as soon as it's posted.

I have applied for the ED internship and so far have not heard anything.

I haven't heard anything about ED either but I do have an interview for the critical care one next week.

hey i am new graduate and just came across to chritina care internships thing today...what is the deadline for critical care internship... and how do u apply for it...and yea good luck for the interview..

The deadline to turn in the application packet was Oct 28. They will be posting it again in Feb/Mar for a June start date.

I haven't heard anything about ED either but I do have an interview for the critical care one next week.

Goodluck with your interview!

Thanks chicklet74, i guess i missed it...but i will give it a shot on next one...let us know how did the interview went....

The interview went really well I think. I flubbed the clinical question a little but I'm choosing to not be upset about that:). They had 196 applicants, interviewed 25 and are hiring between 6 and 10 applicants. Was told they'd be wrapping up interviews next week, would spend some time doing background checks and would be making offers the week of 12/11. I'm really, really hoping to get an offer. Would love to hear from anyone else who interviewed.

What kind of questions did they ask during the interview? Was it with one person or a group?

Some were the same old interview questions "Tell me about a time when you had a difficult patient and how did you handle blah blah". Others: "what about you sets you apart from anyone else we might be interviewing?", "why do you want to be an ICU nurse?"

It was with the RN who runs the internship program and an HR recruiter. There is only one interview. It lasted about 45 minutes. Whether I get it or not, it was actually a decent experience.

I did not get called for an interview for the ED internship......so I am applying for the medical nurse internship. Hopefully I will at least get an interview for this one.

I actually just got my rejection email for the ED internship today.

chicklet74did you end up getting a job in the critical care unit?i applied for the same position a few weeks ago.
