   Would Baylor Irving be too far? I only just had my first day on the unit yesterday but they seem to be in need of L&D nurses, and pretty willing to train them.

4. New Grads in DFW...what are you earning?

   NewToDallas replied to lonestar9918's topic in Texas

   DFW is a very tough market for new grads. I (finally) was hired at Baylor for a new grad position and was offered $26/hour with 5 for night and 6 for weekend in differentials. I'll take it!

    NewToDallas replied to babigrl's topic in New Nurse

    Yeah Ive dealt with parklands hiring system for over a year now and there is little merit to those automated emails, especially if you've heard otherwise from a recruiter. I've gotten emails saying I was no longer being considered when I hadn't yet i...
