Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

[aghols12]

The deadline is the last Friday in March. From now on I going to open my options because I am now aware competition is pretty fierce for jobs; for some reason I just assumed a job was going to just appear and float down in my hand like a feather, how naive. BTW I graduate this upcoming May. I am starting to get pretty freaked out about jobs now. And, have you all heard anything about Scott & White? Seton was my first choice, but I'm just making more room.

To me, your best bet is to get in contact with an actual manager. They are easier to talk to about positions than HR. Both times I have worked for S&W, I contacted the mgr first then HR caught up after I was offered the position. On the med surg floor, you will get at least 5 patients, many times 6, sometimes up to 7. I worked on an adult med surg floor for a year (left in july) and we at times had no aide, or one aide for 37 rooms with 6 patients a piece. Think wisely before making a decision. Not saying S&W is a bad employer, you just have to be careful, with any employer and their promises.

I was told that OR will be posted sometime this upcoming week.

ED is posted!

It is, but I just don't think I have it in me to work 3rd shift for 2 whole years, in addition to commuting from Austin. I would like to have given it a shot in any other time slot (as my second choice spot), but it is just too unhealthy/unsafe for me personally. Disappointed...

[Shiner50]

You should talk to a recruiter about it.... the position may be 3rd shift initially, then you can move to day shift after a period of time.

Excellent suggestion...

How did the med/surg phone interviews go??

[Nursey86]

I thought it went well, although it is hard to tell. My interview was more about getting to know me and my experiences and telling me a bit about S&W. I didn't think it was terribly stressful and the managers who interviewed me were very pleasant. How was everyone else's phone interview?

[BotoxBaby]

mine was very similar to what you described. It is hard to tell how I did. It was my first interview so I although I am hoping I did well, I was nervous so it may have been detected in my voice. haha We shall see.... Good luck to all!

Has anyone been contacted about interviewing for the ED position that was posted a couple of weeks ago?

[okranurse]

Sorry BotoxBaby, I don't know. I received an email from the Director of ICU recently, along with other ICU applicants. The ED position was posted a while after the ICU one, so I assume that it might be a while still for y'all.
