Parkland Nurse Residency - July 2022

Published

This is for new grad nurses who are/ have applied to Parkland Hospital's Nurse Residency Program that starts in July of 2022! 

Hello! Just wanted to say that a recruiter told me that Joint Commission came last week, so interviews were delayed to deal with that. You should hear back by mid-March or earlier for interviews. I know some med/surg units are doing (or have done) interviews right now. I applied to some med/surg units, L&D, Mother Baby, and Urgent Care Emergency Center. Hope this helps!

Congrats!! It's been over 2 weeks and I still haven't heard anything. I'm worried. I also applied to all the ICU positions :(

Hopefully you'll hear something soon. They said we should know by next week!

Hey fam, I applied to all the ICU on 02/21 and have just received an interview with Burn ICU! If anyone has had their interview, could you tell us what questions were asked? I'm super nervous and have never been a very good at interviews. I tend to freeze alot!!

Congratulations on landing an interview! I’ve had a few ICU interviews and one question that kept coming up is why you want to work at Parkland and that specific ICU.  Parkland had one of the biggest and best burn ICUs in the country so that’s an easy answer. They also ask about clinical situations and what would you do in this situation type questions. Good luck!!

Thank you! They asked, "Tell me about yourself and why parkland." They asked a few behavioral questions like "tell me about a time when you dealt with a difficult patient." I suggest getting good at storytelling to capture their attention and bring relevant/clinical experiences to life. I hope this helps!

Just wanted to share with y’all that I have received an interview for the NICU! There were about 30 signup slots so I’m guessing that’s how many applicants were chosen. Hope this helps!
