I am seeking information about getting hired at Baylor Hospital(s) in Dallas, TX as a new graduate RN. I am interested in working in the ICU and plan on applying for their new grad internship come February.
I am currently completing my BSN degree and will graduate in May 2015. If everything goes as planned, I should graduate Magna Cum Laude and top of my class. My current cumulative GPA is 3.85. I have worked here in Amarillo, TX in the ICU as a student nurse for 1 year, including a competitive 400 hour advanced internship with a preceptor that was only offered to 2 students. I also have previous CNA experience and clinical experience in various ICU's. So on paper I feel confident. However, when I see that Baylor gets 2000+ applications each enrollment period and from reading previous posts, I get a little nervous.
Does anyone know how difficult it is to get hired for the new grad internships at Baylor?
What are some good/bad things about the hospital?
What is the current pay for new grad RN in the DFW area? Specifically at Baylor?
If anyone has any information regarding this topic, I would greatly appreciate it!
This site is wonderful and can really be extremely helpful! :)
