From what I know, it is a really good hospital. Children's Dallas is where the successful separation of the egyptian conjoined twins was performed. I don't have any personal experience, but I have only heard good things. If I was going into peds, that is the facility where I would want to work. Hope this is a little helpful. Good luck on your decision!

What area did you interview for at Children's? I did clinicals on both the hem/onc and ICU units, I also spent a day in the ER. I liked the hospital alot, and they are really expanding which means there might be alot of room for professional growth. The brand new tower is sooo nice! The ICU rooms look like hotel rooms!

I work next door to Childrens so the only experience I have with the hospital is their cafeteria when I (or another staff) goes there in the middle of the night for food.

Childrens is located in the UT Southwestern campus, next door to Parkland and Zale Lipshy Univ Hosp. It is pretty close to downtown; the main road being Harry Hines Blvd.

I live North of the Hospital (10-15 min) in a huge complex called the Village. It's like a small town complete with their own utilities company. Within the Village are a bunch of individual apt complexes. I found out about the company through a apt finding agency. I drove to town one day and she took me to all of the different apts in the area. It's a very nice area with plenty of things in close proximity--restaurants, grocery, clubs, entertainment, etc.

Hope my assistance is not too late. If I can be of any further assistance, feel free to write.
