Parkland Feb 2014 residencies/internships

Published

Anyone apply to Parkland for their Feb 2014 residencies/internships? Thought we could use this threat to keep in touch with one another/support one another through the process of hopefully receiving a job through them :)

I applied to SICU and ortho/med-surg. Received an email today for an interview for SICU. Super excited and nervous!

Anyone else out there?

when did you apply?

It's okay. I have many set backs as well. I have started applying since August. No job offered. I've had few interviews but nothing. I was interviewed at Baylor Grapevine but I was told that they canceled the internship program after a month or so of waiting a call or email from them.

I had my interview on Tuesday for ER Residency. It went pretty well, now I keep my fingers crossed. I am just hoping that I get to hear back soon and been anxiously waiting. They told me that decision will be made in two weeks. I didn't ask how many open positions they have. Any information will be helpful. Thanks!!!

Hey Anna, I interviewed today. I didn't ask anything specific. How long was your interview? I'm not really sure how long an interview is supposed to last but mine seemed short. Lol. 2 weeks seems like an awful LONG time! I have read in previous parkland posts that a lot of people found out within a day or two.

They did explain the internship length and told me I wouldn't get to choose which shift(am or pm)....

My interview lasted about 15-20 min, I asked them for business card and they told me to contact a Nurse Recruiter with any questions. They described ER Nurse Residensy as 16 weeks program- 3 in class and the rest in the ER with preceptor. There will be a few tests during the program that must be passed in order to continue. After complition you will start to work as RN 1. The 3-year work commitment clock begins on the first day of RN 1 employment. I asked them about 5 questions. Will see....I hope for the best.

Same. 15-20 minutes. Got a behavioral question about a situation I've never encountered so didn't have the best answer. Felt OK after, but keep picking it apart later. Hindsight and all.

Also learned RN/pt ratio can be 7.
