Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

Published

Hi all,

I'm somewhat new to this forum. I applied to Parkland's MICU and SICU residency. I've already received the email saying my apps were forwarded to the hiring manager. I'm looking for any info on what the hiring process is like, far as, how long after receiving the email did you get an interview and also any info on how the residency works. My dream is either to get into the ED or one of the critical care areas. I know this would be a great opportunity to be employed at a Level I trauma center. Any advice, tips, connections and info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That's awesome Shiner50!! Congrats!

Babigrl, do you think we will be able to wear our scrubs the first week or probably business professional? I dont want to call on that because its kinda a silly question, lol... :rolleyes:

I know definitely Monday is business casual. I'm not sure about the rest of the week. I'm assuming we can wear scrubs because the rest of the week is the nursing orientation.

Thanks Babigrl, that's nice to know. Have you gotten any more information about where we are meeting, what time, just general info? I decided if I don't get an email by Wednesday or Thursday, I will call my recruiter.

On Monday orientation is in the MacGregor Wood Day Auditorium which is on the 1st floor in the main hospita @8 doors open @7:15. To get to the auditorium after you get off the shuttle and go through the breezeway go through the main doors and it should be there. It's business casual. I'm assuming the nurse educator will tell us on Monday what we can wear for the nursing orientation. I know the only email we should be getting is the one containing the official offer letter but I'm not sure exactly what day that will be this week.

Forgot the paper also said to park in tower garage on Monday and then we can sign up for parking after that

Wow, thanks. You are really informed. I think I may be out of the loop... how did u get that info.?

It was in the new hire folder she gave me when I went did my drug screen

Wow, I must have really missed something. After I submitted my vaccination record, got my tb done and looked at, and drug test, I was sent on my way. I was not given any folder. I'm going to call my recruiter tomorrow and inquire on the new hire folder and see if I missed vital info or if it can wait til Monday. This is upsetting. :/

There wasn't nothing major in there. I-9 form, the sheet about orientation (directions and attire). When I finished up with occupational health I asked for the recruiter and she came and gave me it. But she was under the impression that we had received the folder during the interview. The I-9 form she said to bring to orientation.

Hmmm, I didn't get a folder either, but I did get an e-mail with a letter with that info in it. When I did my drug screen I only went to Concentra and they said that was it. Was I supposed to go over to occ . health? I just wish we were a bit more informed. Everything seems to move slow and info comes in bits and pieces. :/

lol, I completely agree with you Kimmy! and thank you babigrl! I called my recruiter and she said that in the next few days we should receive info regarding what to expect... She did confirm that monday is business casual and the rest of the week we can wear scrubs. If its the tax form that I dont have, I am sure it can wait til monday.

This dream of mine is seriously about to start; 6 more days!!!! :D

NewdaisyRN did she say exactly what additional information we should be receiving. I'm glad we can manage to get info from each other because I feel so lost about next week.
