Just wondering if anyone else has applied to the S&W nurse intern program for summer 2015! Would love to keep up to date with everyone and see how the whole thing is progressing! They just opened up the applications the other day :) Good luck!
I received the invite to the meet and greet as well. Does anyone know exactly how it works? I went to Seton's open house and it was more like handing your resumes over with no interviews. But this one says that some departments will be doing interviews. Either way, super excited to go next Friday!
As a current OR intern for Baylor Scott & White, I will say the hospital is great for teaching but you must be assertive. It's a huge teaching hospital and everyone is used to having students and interns everywhere so make your presence known and have a thick skin. Temple is quite cut throat, round rock is a dream to work at and hillcrest is pretty relaxed as well.
Turnover at temple is very high and its mostly filled with people who are there to work for 1-2 yrs to transfer elsewhere. Temple is very large, and filled to the brim with students, especially with A&M's med school attached. Just make sure you are aware of what you're doing and keep patient safety a priority, no matter what any nurse instructs you to do. Nurses on the floor tend to be very catty at temple and no one really has your back but you.
I attended the meet and greet today and had great success! The NICU manager had my resume pulled from when I applied a few months ago and told me today that I was one of her "interviewees" and to be expecting a call from her next week. The float pool manager had also pulled my resume and I was offered an on the spot one-on-one interview after the meet and greet ended and was then invited to go back next Friday evening in order to shadow a nurse on the NICU/PICU/Med-Surg units which are the units that the float pool intern will cover! If all goes well after I shadow, I'm hoping to have either one of the positions and will gladly accept one or the other! It was definitely worth going to and I am ecstatic! :)
