I applied in-person. I interviewed at Parkland Health (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2012
Interview
Behavior Based Interview Questions, They believe past performance is an indicator of future success. Asked situational work related questions. Questions that drive motivational fit , cultural fit were also asked. Leaders asked a lot of questions that seek how you work under pressure. Also a lot of focus on high volume and stressful situations. Also asked about types of patients you like to work with. Environment is public academic setting which is very different from private , for profit facilities.

Interview
I went to the career fair and waited for three hours for an interview, while there I watched every native African and Indian nurse regardless of employment history get offers on the spot, while several of the Caucasian BSN, RN's that i was talking with all were passed over or told that they would be called back. When after sitting there for three hours I was finally called up it was the manager of med surg that spoke to me and even though I have three years hospital experience with Baylor Scott and White, I was told that my skills were not what they were looking for at the moment but to please keep applying online. One of the people that I was talking to was a nursing home nurse with 2 years nursing experience yet he was offered on the spot a position on the telemetry floor. I was amazed and mortified at the same time that PARKLAND would be so blatantly going for the TJTC credits in a big way.... Thanks a lot PARKLAND. The worst part of it all I live in Dallas and have to pay the Damn parkland Tax no matter what!
