GN Pay at Methodist Children's San Antonio

LTrae-TX · Jun 22, 2011

I got a phone call from the staff recruiter at children's not last Friday but the Friday before regarding my top preference out of the positions I applied for. She also apologized for it taking so long and that it was taking longer than expected. Then the call was dropped because I lost signal and I tried calling her back twice and left a message. No response so I finally emailed her on Monday (June 13th) to ensure that she heard my top preference and not think I hung up on her. She called me quickly after that and apologized once again for the slow response. She said there are no longer spots on PICU but some in intermediate Peds unit amd she would call me back to set up an interview. Finally got a call back yesterday (a week later) and I have an interview with the intermediate director tomorrow. It seems as if they are running a bit behind with this process.

Hi,

New Grad RN at Methodist hospitals starts off at $20 per hour as base pay with shift differentials. I think the differentials are 7p-7a $3 and 11p - 7a $4.55. I was told this by nursing recruiter. When you applied for these residency program, you just have to keep calling them to check the status of your application. I find that it works and the nursing recruiters are usually good at trying to help you get an interview with nursing directors. The thing is that all these GN positions fill up so fast. I feel like I just applied and then call a week later only to be told most positions are filled. I did get an interview last week at the Metropolitan Hospital in downtown San Antonio for a possible night GN position on a cardiac/telemetry floor. Waiting to hear back. It's tough job hunting in SA. It's getting frustrating as well. I even tried to apply for smaller hospitals, rehab facilities, and long term facilities.

Good Luck!

LTrae-TX I got a call today from a recruiter as well about what my top preference is. I really thought they had finished picking people to interview. She said she would get back to me within the week to see if I can get interviewed. She said they would be picking people soon since the start date is the 25th.

Princess-good luck with that...i heard that over a month ago, and have yet to hear anything else.

Does anyone know who to contact exactly to find out the status of an application for the GN/RN residency position at Methodist?

Princess_WannaBe · Jul 8, 2011

Kiap38 I believe everyone should hear something by Friday since decisions had to be made for the 25th start date

@mllnjill luckily things worked out and I got a spot

I applied again for their October start date. Luckily they have a few NICU positions open, so I am praying for one of those!! How is the program?

Yesterday, I attended the Nurse Residency Recruitment Fair where those apply for the Oct24 residency can go in, meet and speak with Nurse Directors over each department in the different Methodist hospitals. We brought our resumes and some were asked to interview right then. I believe it was a beneficial experience.

MLLNJLL, RN · Sep 11, 2011

I went too. I think it was also beneficial
