Has anyone else applied to Parkland's critical care and trauma internship and heard anything back?
hey everyone! I interviewed for the Critical Care and Trauma internship on Friday. I think they said by the 2nd week of April we should all know something. Has anyone heard anything yet?
I'm not sure if you can PM. But I got offered a position last Tuesday in the Critical Care and Trauma Nurse Internship. I was reading a previous post of how they did it last year. And from what I'm reading it looks like they are calling people in waves. Meaning, they are calling a few at a time and rejected a large number at a time and going down the list. The people that seemed to call in that post all got rejected. I do not know if that was coincidence or not. So I would not do that until mid April. It says on the website that those who try to talk to hiring managers that it will regressively impact their job opportunities.
This is what I found: "Ok I got antsy and called Parkland to check my status for the internship and the recruiter said she received a list of people who were selected and not selected today. It contained only 5 people who were chosen and I don't know how many that weren't. She called everyone from that list already. She will be getting another list tomorrow. Lets take comfort in the fact that we weren't on the first list of people who weren't excepted." I know when I accepted they gave me two days to decline or accept the offer. So if everyone is taking up to two days I can see how this is going to last until mid April!!!! Please keep me updated as I would love to get to know the other people in my cohort :)

Hope that helps!
Tried PMing you, txiap, but I think your inbox is full.
Just think...we should know something (hopefully) by the end of next week. A friend of mine called to check status, because she got another job offer, and had a deadline to accept it. They told her she wasn't selected, so it seems that they have some idea of who they want...or at least who they don't want. Maybe you're onto something with your theory that calling is a bad idea, Shannon. :)
I guess I am sticking to my "no news is good news" philosophy for the time being. Anything from CP or MICU yet?
