Are there any new grads or RNs out there that have applied to Baylor's 2013 Winter internships? I thought I would start this so we can all share our tips, tricks and progress.
I applied to the Women's Services internship and was emailed a phone interview offer, scheduled for Tuesday!
I wanted your opinion though. Do you think you have a better chance at a job when you put "all your eggs in one basket" and make it clear that your heart is set on one area of nursing (ie. L&D, ER, ICU) or are you all applying for a whole bunch of areas of nursing and hoping for just whatever you get?
So, were any of you guys hired for NICU at BUMC? I graduated from nursing school in 2010 with my ADN and have been an RN/charge/preceptor on an ICU-step-down unit. I am working on my BSN and will graduate by March 2013. My goal is to be a NICU nurse. I applied for this position but it seems like things are moving really slowly. I had a phone interview a month ago but was told the manager won't interview experienced nurses for a couple of weeks. In the meantime I have received another offer, it isn't NICU but is an amazing opportunity. I just don't know if I should hold off for the NICU position when I haven't even had an in-person interview, but I am hesistant to accept a job when I feel so close to finally realizing my goal of becoming a NICU nurse.
If you are currently working somewhere, I would say wait for the NICU job.
If you are not work at the moment, then for income reasons, you should take the offer that u got and wait until u hear back from NICU.
If the offer for this other job is in the same hospital as where you're wanting the NICU job, then i would say definitely take the offer and then try to transfer to NICU.
just finished my interview with baylor irving critical care. I think it went pretty well, the manager said they had only 2 positions open and they've been interviewing since last week for the 2, so i'wll say its a close call. says to expect a call by next week end if I am chosen for the peer interview. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm still waiting to hear if I got the labor and delivery internship . The nurse manager had said we would hear last Friday but no word yet . I emailed the nurse recruiter yesterday and she said she was working with the manager on her decision . I just wish I would hear something soon.
I was told not to expect to hear from them till next week end but I am freaking out already. want the wait to be over already. no other place has called me for an interview...good luck to all of us hopefuls.
Got a call yesterday and was offered a position for the nurse internship in L&D for Baylor All Saints (night shift)!! I am So excited, this is my dream job and the reason I even went to nursing school!
Congrats! It sounds like a really great opportunity. That is the position I interviewed for as well but I haven't heard anything so I am guessing I didn't get it. When did u interview?
Thanks. Don't Give up yet!! I interviewed on Oct 9th. They should get back with you either way. No news doesn't necessarily mean bad news. Did you apply anywhere else?

In the phone screen interview, some of the questions I was asked:
-Describe a time where you were highly stressed whether at work or in clinical situation
-Describe a time when you had a difficult patient
-Explain some of the exposure u had while in clinicals (like which floors, which units..which hospitals, etc.)
-Describe clinical experiences outside of your clinicals (I used to work at a hospital, which is why she may have asked me this)
-Describe a time you were a patient advocate and it ended positively
-If we were to do a background check on you, would this be a problem for you?
then she told me which positions were still open and where i had preference, and set up an interview right then with me.
