txiap · Mar 22, 2012

I felt like it went really well but I know their are so many applicants! I wish it was mid-April!

Do you all know how many they interviewed??

Shannon Nicole · Mar 22, 2012

up to 75... and will pick 18.

Me too... I thought it went well, also. They are so nice, it's hard to see how anyone would think it wouldn't go well. I was expecting more knowledge-based questions, so I was surprised when Barbara said that there wouldn't be any in the interview. Has anyone heard from the CP or MICU residencies yet?

Shannon Nicole · Mar 22, 2012

I also applied to the ER and have not heard anything at all yet. They were so nice and I totally agree with your statement.

Got an e-mail from the ER today- they are scheduling interviews for the residency from 3/26 - 4/10. Check your e-mail b/c that's how they are contacting people!

That's awesome! I still have not heard anything. Are they also sending out rejection emails as well?

cmcervantes · Mar 23, 2012

You know, I haven't heard from anyone who has received one, so I'm not sure. I know that a lot of my friends got interviews last week, so I am thinking that maybe they are e-mailing people a little at a time or something. :)

Did you also apply to Baylor's ER? I haven't heard from them either but I know they were sending out rejection letters to people within days of applying. So hopefully no news is good news for Baylor. As for Parkland good luck at your interview! I really want to get into the critical care and trauma program! That would be awesome if we all got it :) Or even just a job in general at this point. This waiting game is just awful!

I did. I applied to Baylor NICU, ED and ICU. So far, I have only heard from the NICU for a phone screening next week. I work in the Baylor Garland ED, and the director told me that it usually takes some time for the nurse recruiters to filter through the apps, and that he had just scheduled the first interview for this week; although, I am fairly certain that it was with an internal candidate who already works there. They have four slots open in their June internship. I'm keeping the faith that no news is good news. So far, the only rejection letter I have gotten was for THR ED.

The NIP is definitely my first choice....I have been dying for a spot since I first found out about it in Oct 2010. I wish everyone the best of luck and hopefully they finish with the interviews early and maybe we can get word before mid-April!

I also got rejected from THR ED. I hope that we maybe both get the chance to be in that internship! Let me know if you hear more about Parkland or Baylor ED interviews and I will do the same! Thank you for all of your information- it has been extremely helpful :)

Yeah...I know lots of people who got rejected from THR. They must have already had people in mind. I will keep you posted, and good luck to you, too!
