Baylor June 2013 Internship for not so new nurse

Published

Specializes in School Nursing.

Hello,

I recently applied to the Baylor June 2013 Internship for the OR, and still have not heard anything. Just wondering what my chances are. I graduated in May 2010 with my ADN and have worked in an orthopedic clinic, nephrology clinic, and for the past year as a school nurse at an institution for medically fragile children. I'm planning on starting my RN-BSN in the fall. I've heard that it is difficult to get hired in the DFW area without a BSN, and especially for these internship positions. I've always been interested in the OR and prior to nursing school I worked for 5 years as a surgery scheduler in the OR of a large hospital. Do you think I have a chance? Has anyone received a phone call yet for an interview for any of Baylor's June 2013 internships? Thanks :)

I applied but haven't heard anything. I did see my application was accepted, so someone saw it. I am not sure on the BSN thing, maybe Commuter has some info on that. You might have a good chance, just depends on what they need. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! Well, when I go back and check the status of my application, it does not say "accepted"... it just says "completed" and I have the option of review and editing or withdrawing. Hmmm... hope that isn't a bad sign. I applied on Feb. 10th, when did you apply? What area are you interested in? Good luck to you! :)

I applied as soon as I remembered the window opened and they were taking apps. I want to do L&D.

I received a rejection email the day after this post. I doubt my resume made it past human resources since I don't have a BSN. Just wish I knew of some OR fellowship or program in Texas where I could get in

I don't know much about Methodist in Houston or if they accept ADN vs BSN, but I did hear the recruiter say that they are always desperate for OR nurses. You might take a look at that program.

I just had a phone interview on tuesday.

He sounded positive so hopefully I get to the next round.

Hello All,

Has anyone recieved the invite to the "(Invite Only)" Nurse Internship Hiring fair for Baylor Dallas? I had my phone interview for med-surge and was sent an invite. According to the email the nurse manager will be doing on the spot interviews and making job offers. Does anyone have any feedback on the hiring fair? What is it like? What are my chances on really getting a job offer on the spot?.....

Thanks,

Oh ok.. well I guess i still need to wait.

Yes, it was for med-surg. He asked if i would be interested in diabetic med surg and would forward my file to the manager there.

Not sure if there is more than one med surg floor and I also don't know what location he was talking about. I asked for dallas main, plano, or irving.

oh ok, he only asked me which dallas is my number one choice,and I told him dallas main.... and he said he would forward my app to baylor dallas.According to the website there are different types of med-surg floors. But he didn't ask me for a specific type of med-surg so i guess I will find out at the hiring fair... the last day to RSVP for that was on the 8th of this month, im not sure if the fair is just for baylor dallas maybe so....
