Parkland SICU

Specialties Critical

Hi everyone!

I am writing this post in the hopes of getting some advice. My ultimate dream of dream job is to be a Parkland SICU nurse. And no--I do NOT want to be a CRNA. LOL--I have nothing against people who do want to be CRNA's but many people assume if you want to be a SICU nurse then it's so you can become a CRNA eventually.

Anyway, I applied for the Parkland SICU residency today. If I'm blessed enough to get an interview--I would love advice. I know there must be a few Parkland SICU nurses floating around this website somewhere!

Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi,

I just saw this post. Sorry for the late reply but how did it go? I applied for SICU for the February 2015 residency. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I received an e-mail saying my application is moving to the next step, but i haven't heard anything more than that. have you?

I had an interview on Monday the 8th. Now just waiting to hear the news. Have you heard anything?

Specializes in MICU.

Does anyone know how many residents they are taking this round?

yes, my interview was on the 9th and I heard back the same day! I got the job! not sure how many they're taking but there are currently 9 new from last October.

Congratulations! Did you get a call or an email?

Does anyone know what it's like working in this unit at Parkland? Is the 3 year commitment/$20,000 penalty worth it?
