Dallas area hospitals

Does anyone know if DFW area hospitals hire new LVN's? I am looking at the Plano, Mckinney, Denton areas. I will graduate June 13. Thanks.

Hi. I believe that Denton Presby does hire new grads. I know that Wise Regional does, and offers good opportunities for all new grads. That is located in Decatur, TX. Also if you want to go as far as Wichita Falls, the hospital there really uses LVN's in all areas. The name of that hospital is United Regional Medical Center. Good Luck!

1. Parkland Hospital

2. John Peter Smith Hospital

3. Kindred Hospital

4. Healthsouth Hospital

5. Plaza Medical Center

6. Huguley Hospital

7. Lifecare Hospital

8. Arlington Memorial Hospital

Has anyone worked in Dallas in the city, recently? I know when I had clinicals there over 15 years ago, it was pretty dangerous going back and forth to your car. I have been told about some assignments there and am really concerned about my safety.

That's good to know. Denton Regional is only 5 minutes from my house. Much better than my current 1 hour one way commute time.:wtosts:

What hospitals are you referring to? There are a lot of hospitals in the city of Dallas. I personally don't feel threatened walking to or from my car. Any big city you work in is going to have an increased risk of crime, though.

Does anyone know how much the hospitals pay their new grad LVN's?
