Did anyone apply for this summer externship? I saw a lot of previous threads but none from this year! How do people think the application went?! I'm anxiously waiting!

Yeah, join the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/364129620393046/ Congrats!!!

CONGRATS!!! The long wait was totally worth it. I'm so happy more people will be headed to Iowa City :) Hang in there to everyone still waiting. I haven't received the list yet so clearly they're still making decisions!

I'll be coming from Illinois, so four hours roughly. I'm sorry you guys still haven't heard back. That's really strange. I thought from talking to HR last week that they had to have all of the names sent in by this Monday. Must be taking longer than ...

Are you guys all from Iowa or coming from out of state?

I'll be on the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit so I can imagine my job will be nursing and counseling combined. I'm going to see the hospital for the first time next week so I'm looking forward to that. I'm still hoping you guys can hear back so...

Which units did you interview with?

Hopefully you can hear something soon! I know the waiting part is the worst. Good to know that not everyone has been notified yet. She told me she would send a list of contact names by the end of the week to start connecting with others so you should...

Yes, I got a call Friday morning but missed it and then got through later that day. Then they send a follow-up email with all of the information. Not exactly sure if they notified everyone Friday or not, I know she said they were having roughly 50 in...

Just got the call today! I'm so excited. Just nervous because I don't know a sole in Iowa ha

Not yet. I was really hoping for some news today!

ekenkel, my interview was super focused on situations. "Tell me a time where you would go back and change something. Tell me a time when you used therapeutic communication. Tell me a time you dealt with conflict." They were both super friendly and en...

Super laid back interview! It sounded like a really great opportunity.

Thanks for the info! It definitely sounds like a great position to consider. Yeah, I don't know how many people they hire/how competitive it is. It sounds like they have tons of different interviews going on different units though.

I'm just interested to see what this experience would be like. Do you think it is more of a CNA job or nursing externship?

I applied for this last month and have two interviews on Friday: one for med/surg oncology and one for the child and adolescent psychiatric unit. Did you hear anything/what unit?

I didn't get a yes or a no... I made the alternate list, so more waiting. Happy for the opportunity though.

This whole waiting thing is too stressful.....

WAIT WHY?! They've always had 100... why are they changing it this year?

This was what she had emailed me earlier. So maybe we will know Friday? We were shooting for February 1st, but realistically, I'm thinking everything will be done and offers out by February 7th. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Th...

I have a 3.82 GPA which I heard anything above a 3.75 gives you a perfect score for the GPA portion. Also, I spent a lot of time on the essays since that really is the interview. Mine were pretty long and very detailed. I don't have a ton of "medical...

I wonder if they go through each one individually and change the status right after if they offer you a spot... Mine still hasn't moved from application in review though :/ maybe your classmate applied earlier and they already scored it?

I go to a small school in Indiana and our professors wanted us to try applying. We had at least 30 apply... I wish I knew how long they wanted our essays to be. Some people in my class had two pages double spaced and others had three to four single s...

Does anyone have any idea how many applicants they were expecting this year?
