Critical Care Internships for new grads?

by mestizorx

Hi Everyone,
I'm graduating from my ADN program in May 2010, looking at my degree plan I only have 4 more classes to take along with 2 more clinical rotations, so getting close. I was wondering if anyone knew any hospitals in TX that offer internships in Critical Care for new grads? Currently I'm in central texas, but am willing to relocate if offered that oppurtunity. Right now I work for the VA, but they're actually on a hiring freeze and I know it'll be tougher getting into ICU there. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I just graduated in May and several of my classmates got ICU jobs in the Dallas area. I can think of 10 off the top of my head. Good luck!

Nothing in Houston-- I applied everywhere.

I lucked into a critical care internship created just for me at my hospital. I'm the only new grad in the entire facility this year.

I just graduated in May and I have classmates who got into a MICU internship at Houston Northwest Hospital.

I had classmates that were interviewed and about to be hired into their MICU (and other floors) when the facility went on a hiring freeze leaving them hung out to dry and the directors wishing to hire them apologetic.

I graduated in May and am currently in an ICU/CVICU internship in Pasadena, just outside of Houston. The internships in TMC are cut-throat! They're extremely competitive. I'm very, very happy with where I'm at, though.
