It's not a true employment contract. You sign a contract agreeing to repay the value of the internship if you don't stay for 1 year.

Ditto what Ruby Vee replied & be prepared to clean up poop. It's all about communication with the nurse.

UTSW Clements University Hospital in Dallas is probably the highest level CVICU in the area.

I did a M/S internship on 7N in 2010 then worked there for a year. I absolutely hated M/S; I am now in ICU nurse & love it. The 7N manager at that time was awful, but I learned a tremendous amount from some of the well-experienced nurses there. Now that I have some other hospitals to compare S&W to, I can say that S&W is an organized system in regard to policies & procedures which is important to a new grad. At that time, the M/S internship was 10-14 weeks. The length depended on individual nurse ability. I did 10 weeks and was prepared; but I saw others do longer. There was no grief if more time was needed. Be prepared, Temple is an unexciting small town.
