Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

Published

Has anyone applied to the fall residency? I applied but haven't heard anything either way, however I noticed some new listings within the past few days that say they start October 2013 (I was under the impression it started in September.)

I called and left a message with one of the recruiters, but now i'm wondering if they pushed the start date back because of the government survey. If they didn't pass they probably wouldn't have hired a bunch of new nurses.

Anyone that's applied heard anything yet?

Hi Nana I also got the rejection emails :( perhaps we should go over tips to make us definitely get an offer from our next interview

Just got rejection email for SICU. ;-(

@ Judy and nicki lets keep our spirits up. There is a special job waiting for us. Lets move forward and lean from this experience. To all of you who got an offer any tips will be appritiated. Thank you

Guys, sorry to hear that...I know the feeling firsthand :(

Keep your spirits up, there are MICU, NeonatalICU, and Burn ICU resident postings still active on parkland's website, and very good luck with ER interviews.

Tips....personally I have never prepared so hard for an interview like this one, coz of a disappointing recent rejection from another ICU position that wud have been 120 miles drive for me per day anyway :(

I had all the basic answers on tips like strengths, weaknesses, few scenarios, hardest pt. from past experience, why parkland, why SICU, future plans, etc.

This was also very helpful: index read the "bedside emergencies" for frequent scenarios. I own this in printed version and read it frequently to brush up.

Any way I cud help, pls let me know. Good luck again!

Specializes in ICU.

Nana13, I have an ASN degree.

Practice answers for strengths, weaknesses, why Parkland, why SI, hardest patient, how you deal with stress, example of good teamwork.

Honestly, while my interview went very well, I think it probably helped a lot that I had experience.

Good luck guys!

Thank you Vera and Army RN. I don't have experience and with only an ADN. Thanks for the tips I will try my best next week for ER.

Thx guys!!!

Oh I'm BSN new grad-no experience

Congratulations to you that made it....I havent heard either way yet : (

Specializes in Critical Care.

I got an email saying I'm an alternate. I think that the fact that I was not enthusiastic about the contract or having to start from square one regarding patient care may have come across during my interview. Just wasn't meant to be! Congrats to those who got it!

Sounds good. What time is your interview?

I worked as Psyc Nurse for 6months and I have 10 years of pca and phlebotomy experience. I"m currently in the ADN-BSN program at UTA. I'm so nervous I hope this helps my chances for the ER.

Hi sorry I'm responding so late.No, I got a email on 8/30 stating I had applied for the Er Nurse Residency and asked if I was sill interested. I had to respond by 9/3. I got the congratulations email on 9/12 stating I was chosen to interview.
