Houston area hospitals with WEEKEND incentive programs?


I'm interested in kowing which Houston area hospitals offer WEEKEND incentive programs. I'd love to find a Saturday / Sunday only with full benefits. Thanks in advance.

I was talking to someone from Hermann Memorial and they do weekend contracts, I think they said 6 months. Try the website. Good luck

A two day weekend at Memorial Hermann would be part-time. If you did Fri/Sat/Sun or Sat/Sun/Mon, that would be the full-time weekend program.

Im just going by what Baylor in Dallas does. They have a 12 hour Saturday and 12 hour Sunday weekend shift where you get paid for 36 hours and get full benefits. I was trying to see if any of the hospitals in Houston offer something like that since I will more than likely be moving to Houston in the near future.

That is a good deal if you can find it.

Ya, I know what you mean - not completely sure what other companies do. But for PT, you get 8 extra hours (total of 32 for the PT weekend program) and for FT, you get 12 extra hours (to make 48 total paid) at Memorial Hermann.

I'm not entirely sure how easy it is to get into the programs here, or if they have a two day FT one - but you may look into Lukes or Methodist - they may have a weekend program more aligned to what you are looking for.
