Parkland SICU

Published

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!

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