Internships

TheCommuter, BSN, RN · Feb 1, 2010

The internships in the Dallas-Fort Worth area start in June. I am not certain which hospitals are doing internships, but be aware that the local nursing job market is slowly becoming saturated due to many other out-of-state nurses flocking here for jobs. In addition, there are 20+ nursing programs in the area that continue to churn out masses of new grads every few months.

Here are some hospitals in and around Dallas and Denton County:

1. Methodist Dallas

2. Methodist Charlton

3. Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas

4. Baylor Irving

5. Baylor University Medical Center

6. Parkland

17. Presbyterian Hospital of Denton

18. Centennial Medical Center

19. Baylor Frisco

20. Baylor Garland

commuter gave you a good list..i am also looking for a internship but in the fort worth area...i do know that most of the internships start in june, sept and jan....they will begin taking apps in the next few months in the area.....there are also some that have a alternate start date like huguley hospital and they are accepting now...i read a article this morning that was in the paper describing how the economy is effecting nurses and how hospitals in the dfw area are accepting less and less applicants for internships.....good luck to you.....

I already applied at Baylor last Oct but wouldn't get in, May be this time I will have better luck. It's a extremely scary situation, when you spent a lot of time ,effort and money for nursing school and you couldn't get a job anywhere. Good luck to youtxspadequeenRN . Thanks a lot Commuter,your list is impressive.

Presbyterian of Allen does not do internships or take new grads. They said it takes about $20K to do an internship and they are too small to support it. Presby Plano and Presby Dallas are the only ones in the North Dallas area that do for the THR facilities.

If you would be okay with a smaller town, Scott and White in Temple Texas has a really good internship program. Paid, in critical care, ER, OR areas. Its a 70 bed level 1 trauma and its only an hour north of Austin so you could live in a bigger town and commute. I know my intern class had a bunch from Illinois, and Northeast for the same reason. Just a thought. Their next group starts in June I believe as well.
