i accepted the critical care and trauma internship. you must have a bsn and above a 3.5 gpa. they let 200 people apply before they stopped accepting applications. around 60 were interviewed and 22 were hired. around 15 of my classmates were hired in various areas, and we all have 3 year contracts because of the new hospital opening.

having a BSN was a requirement for the program this thread is referring to, i believe. with the amount of nurses applying to parkland, i imagine having a BSN really helps with getting hired. imagine if you have 50 applicants, and available 18 spots; you're going to check out your BSN applicants first. do you have critical care experience? i dont know if they hire ADNs in critical care, but maybe they do if you have direct critical care experience somewhere.

I lived in Allen for 18 years, it's a nice suburb but I'm ready for city life. My dad commuted from Allen to Downtown Dallas and had the commute from hell.

i support this idea

i'm from the DFW metroplex, 2 of my friends were accepted too and are also from DFW

congrats, we'll be coworkers! i wouldn't be surprised if we need to get our ACLS beforehand. other than that, i'm not sure! where did you go to nursing school?

no, the critical care and trauma internship is an 8 month program where you rotate through all the ICU's at parkland. it's separate from the regular residencies.

I was accepted! woohoo!

interviews ended yesterday

Got a call from parkland yesterday saying they want me to come in and meet the manager of the NIP this week since she missed my interview. Hope this is Good!
