  1. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    Are there any new grads or RNs out there that have applied to Baylor's 2013 Winter internships? I thought I would start this so we can all share our tips, tricks and progress. I applied to the Women's Services internship and was emailed a phone inter...
  2. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    Would Baylor Irving be too far? I only just had my first day on the unit yesterday but they seem to be in need of L&D nurses, and pretty willing to train them.
  3. New Grad Pay in Texas?

    I just was hired as a new grad for Baylor, and I know it contradicts anything you read on here, but they offered me: $26 base $5 nights (considered 10:30pm-4:30am) $6 weekends (no evening) I was thrilled!
  4. Medical City Dallas Internship Program Oct. 2012

    I was offered the Postpartum spot, but declined it today after receiving an offer at Baylor L&D. I was told there was only one spot on PP, so if you've applied and were told you didnt get it, there still could be hope!! Congrats to everyone about...
  5. New Grads in DFW...what are you earning?

    DFW is a very tough market for new grads. I (finally) was hired at Baylor for a new grad position and was offered $26/hour with 5 for night and 6 for weekend in differentials. I'll take it!
  6. Dallas, TX- Baylor or Parkland?

    Just wanted to update the pay scales a bit. I am considered a new grad and was just hired at baylor - base is $26, with $5 for nights and $6 for weekends. Parkland's base is $24 something, with smaller differentials. I was shocked when they offered m...
  7. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    I cant believe I am finally one of the people to say this...but I got a job!!!!! I did the interview at Baylor Irving yesterday and the supervisor pretty much offered me the job right there, and wanted me to start immediately. She called today with h...
  8. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    Ccsn33- nope, I just submitted the application. I did email the recruiter after the phone interview thanking her for her time and reiterating my interest in the position, although I don't think that was necessary.Robin- I think the recruiter told me ...
  9. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    Congrats Robin!! I got a call today for an interview at Irving's L&D. Praying for the best!
  10. Baylor January 2013 Internships

    I worked in a nicu for a year as a student nurse. The email for the phone interview was sent on sept 20th. The phone interview went well, she verbally confirmed a lot of things on my application (ie. that I have a tx RN license, what my gpa was) and ...
  11. Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

    Yeah Ive dealt with parklands hiring system for over a year now and there is little merit to those automated emails, especially if you've heard otherwise from a recruiter. I've gotten emails saying I was no longer being considered when I hadn't yet i...
  12. Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

    Yeah, this site is awesome! Welcome! : ) Its my understanding that the contract is a mandatory thing - that if you are offered the internship, the 2 year contract is expected of you. I found out on Friday that I wasn't selected for the L&D positi...
  13. Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

    Congrats HopingICU and rosern!!!! What am exciting journey lies ahead!
  14. Please HELP! Best NCLEX RN review book?!

    I went to a school that endorsed Saunders and Lippencott, both are great books. For me, I learned best by doing question after question, and learning from reading not just the answer, but also the rationale. I feel i soaked up more tidbits of useful ...
  15. Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

    I interviewed today in L&D. It was two of the unit managers. They started off telling me about the internship and then went into the "dreaded" questions. There was about 4 scenario based questions starting with "tell me about a time when..." My ...
  16. Labor and Delivery Interview. Help!

    I would steer clear of questions that ask about the particular unit (ie. staff to pt ratios) - the question portion of the interview is not so much about you gathering information as it is a way for you to tell them something else about yourself. If...
  17. Certified Nurse Midwife - Masters degree or more?

    I am a DNP CNM student at Baylor and I wouldn't recommend pursing a doctorate degree unless you want to go into policy. I highly doubt the degree required to practice will ever be the DNP. If I could do it again, I would have paid about half of the m...
  18. Parkland Critical Care Nurse Residency Sept 2012

    I applied for the L&D residency starting in Spetember and got a call for an interview yesterday. They are conducting interviews next week, and the nurse recruiter told me they will be hiring 10 people and will probably interview close to 50. Each...

    So happy for you!! What an awesome feeling, I'm sure. You will be exposed to so much at Parkland! I'll email Gina for sure. Thanks : )
  21. THR Residency June 2012

    Hey GoMavs - I saw on another thread that you got the THR Women's Services internship!!! Congrats!! I found out on Friday that I did not...which is ok, but disappointing for sure. I'd really like to talk to Gina, or one of the nurse managers to polit...
  22. THR Residency June 2012

    Hey GoMavs, I received an email last week inviting me to interview for Women's Services! Did you go to the open house they had back in February? I heard they werent going to look at your application unless you attended the open house. My interview is...
  23. Fall internships dfw

    North Hills Hospital has a L&D internship position open at the present moment. The job # is: 00444-40215(a) NHH. I found it on the HCA job website, accessible through the hospitals website. It says (in caps) that a BSN is required. The start dat...
  24. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    Got the rejection email from Baylor's L&D internship today. Not what I was hoping for, but trusting that God has something else up his sleeve... PS. I talked to Ms. *** *****, the woman's health recruiter for Baylor, on Friday and she said there ...
  25. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships
