Dallas Summer 2022 Nurse Residency

[nurseinprog22]

Has anyone heard anything back from residency programs? Anyone land an interview at any hospital? I applied to BSW, Parkland, and JPS

I didn't ask about pay or shift differentials. I usually wait on those questions until I get an offer so I don't get too upset if it doesn't happen LOL. What's Emory? 

Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, GA. I'm not from Texas and I actually applied everywhere. But I have friends in TX that's why I mainly looked at the hospitals in TX. But Emory pays 32.96 for their neuro ICU new grad (nights, +5 and weekend +4.5), I was offered night shift and I plan to accept it because at this point, I'm really tired of interviews, even though I've only had five. Unless Methodist offer me CVICU or SICU, I don't think I'm going to do it. What type of unit did they show you? The ICU in "ICU or Neuro CCU" seemed really broad to me, does it encompass the other specialized ICU as well?

Well first I got lost trying to find where to even go once I was in the hospital LOL. But I don't think they separate the different specialties. The whole unit has 36 beds and I didn't notice any signs or anything. They may just put them in different corners or something. The layout was just one big square with offices and nurses stations in the middle with computers by each room (I like) and telemetry monitors throughout the halls.

What is the base pays for new grads at BSW, and their night/weekend differential?

I just read in the Winter 2022 cohort page that Methodist's base pay is $27 (night+4, weekend+6.5).

When I spoke to a recruiter back in early February, it was 26.75 (+3.5night, 5.36 weekend) but I heard people say it has since gone up and is now has the highest pay in dallas... so it could be up to 28-29??

I hope I don't have to wait too long to get (if) any offers. I did get two interviews next week for the transplant unit and the post-surgical units at BUMC, so I'm excited for those.

I was offered $29.50/hr for Neuro ICU at BUMC. (If you're a current baylor employee you get $31/hr). They said the base pay is $28 I believe for residency, but if you have previous hospital experience, I was a tech, that you get a little more. Six months after you pass your NCLEX you'll get another $1.50. I can't remember the differentials but they're around $3-5 each for nights and weekends, don't quote me exactly on that, I blacked out as soon as he said they want to offer you the spot haha

I heard that Methodist doesn’t have contracts. I got an offer from them but I don’t have the official one from HR so I’m not sure. A current resident there said she didn’t have one.

Thanks! I got an offer too and was about to email HR. I'm not sure if this one is official or not either... does it mean we can accept the offer then can change later? I don't want to be rude, but I didn't get the result from other hospitals yet..

Hmm I’m not sure if it’s official, official.  The manager offered me and said the official offer that I accept or decline will come from HR in about 2-3 weeks because they’re getting everything together. IDK what the best thing to do is either because I already accepted an offer from Baylor and am trying to figure out what to do. Baylor is non contract and on their offer it says I can terminate it at any point, so I assume Methodist will be the same. Best advice… ask the recruiter at Methodist what you can and can’t do.
