how many applications, same Hospital Group?

Hi, I need some advice...

I am trying to get a nurse externship for this summer. I am waiting for a callback from a manager (passed the phone interview) for an externship at a suburban hospital. Its been 4 days since I talked to hr and they passed me on to the manager, which i have to figure is a bad sign. It is for a regular med/surg floor.

They just posted 4 externships at the same hospital, but the downtown location. They look really interesting - svicu, transplant, nephrology, surgical specialty.

The hospital shares the same career management site for all locations. I don't want to look desperate, but I really want to snag an externship! Would it look bad to apply to one of these? To all of these? What would be the best thing for me to do?

Thanks!

I say apply for as many of them as you want. It ups your chances of being selected for one.

Thanks! I applied for one of them, and got the call.for an in person interview today. I feel like I am actually very well prepared for an externship, no bs needed. Whoo!
