Congrats to those who have received offers for the ICU internship!!! Excited to be seeing new faces on the unit. :) I started the internship several months back in January. Cooli11 - Turtle Creek is great for the price! I'm looking into moving there myself. Have you looked into Legacy Landing (sister apt to Turtle Creek)? It's new! 1-bdrms start at $630. Lovelymo - You'll SHINE on Friday! Hope to see you then!

TexanSN - Congrats! Which department are you working in?

There's really not much to do here in Temple. It is much, much smaller than Austin! I make the 1-hour trip to Austin once in awhile just to eat and shop. :)

Congratulations on landing a position in the ICU! I have an interview this week, also for an ICU internship. I hope I succeed in the interview, as you did! Have you checked out this website? index I find it to be a great resource.

Did you ask when you can expect to hear back? I hope he considers us, the last group of interviewees, before making any decisions. Good luck to the both us! :) You mentioned in another S&W thread that you already work there? Your chances are great, much better than mine. Do you reside in or near Temple, TX? I will be coming from California.

I hope it went well! I have my interview on December 3rd. Not sure what to expect. I got an email yesterday and after reading the first line, I thought they were canceling my interview! Turns out, the director only wants to interview three people at a time, originally it was eight. :/ Any behavioral questions?

BRP RN, I hope it went well!! Now the waiting game begins... It'd be great if we both get chosen! Do you know when in January the program begins? You can email me. :)

I'd like to start this thread for those of us who applied for the Scott and White Internship Program beginning in January 2011. I know they are holding 3 days of group interviews for the critical care internship: November 12 November 19 December 03 Anyone else interviewing for this cohort? I'd love to hear from you! To those who have interviewed with S&W in the past or are now working at S&W, I welcome your stories and experience.

KareBare511 - I know it's been almost 5 months since your last reply to this thread but I hope you get this. Can you share with us your experience in the critical care internship program? I will be interviewing for the program in several weeks. Any interviewing tips would be appreciated! I heard it will be a group interview with the director of ICU. So nervous...

Hi BRP RN, I'm in the same boat! I will be interviewing at Scott & White for the critical care internship. What about you? I'm also coming from outside of Texas. I read that the starting pay for new grads is around $24? But I need to confirm that. I'm so nervous about this interview! Looking for advice from those who have been hired in the past and are currently working at S&W. There hasn't been activity on this thread for nearly a year but it's worth a try. Help, somebody??

Anyone here going to the New Student Welcome on April 7th? :)

gottagetthere, you can apply to SMU before completing all your prerequisites. I had six outstanding classes when I applied. As long as you have them complete before the start of the program, you'll be fine. I took pathophysiology online at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) and I know they offer pharmacology online also. I think I paid less than $100 for 3 semester units. You should definitely look into it. Classes fill up fast! Hope this helps!:wink2:

hi puppie55! I'll be in your class! :) Wow, Sacramento, eh? That's quite a daily commute. I'll be commuting from San Jose, which shouldn't be too bad. There's a Facebook group for SMU ABSN students starting this summer. You should search for "Samuel Merritt ABSN '10" and request to join us.

Iwant2beRN: Just curious, did you already get an award packet from SMU stating that you don't qualify for any federal loans? SMU sent me a letter notifying me that they didn't receive my FAFSA/Student Aid Report which I filed almost two months ago. So I called the financial aid office to verify and it turns out I shouldn't have received that letter. I also asked when we should be receiving our award letters and the girl said usually 1 month before classes start. How are we to consider federal loans before private loans when they notify us soooo late?!?!

nursesrock08: carpooling sounds excellent. we can plan something out during orientation. :) Did anyone here take a basic life support (BLS) course certified by the AHA? I just want to make sure this course meets their CPR requirement.
