Houston Nurse Residency Fall 2021

Published

I wanted to start a thread since Memorial Hermann is having their Pre Match Open House.   Was anyone able to attend The Woodland's zoom?   I missed it and was wondering which units would be hiring?

Hi everyone. Which is better: Memorial Hermann, HCA, or Encompass? Went for interview for HCA. Got ICU-Day at HCA West which is 8 mins from me; pay was $30.50 with LVN experience, original was $29.50; $5,000 sign-on bonus. I wasn't expecting the sign on bonus. Encompass is offering new grad $33/hr with LVN experience and $10,000 sign on bonus. Will Memorial Hermann offer something like this? 

During the pre match virtual event MH said they will not offer sign on bonus.  They will have over 1000 applications, so I guess they don't need to.   

I haven't heard of Encompass, but wow....that is an awesome deal.   Sounds like you have some great choices.   Do you graduate in August?

Hi Linda! I wasn't able to attend the pre-match day info session so thank you for the info.

Memorial Hermann is a trusted name and I was hoping would offer more incentives. I suppose the trade off would be to receive quality training with the residency program to advance further. 

I graduated this past May.

Just be careful about sign on bonuses because they always come with strings attached. Read your contract thoroughly before signing anything.

Does anyone know if the hospitals will be doing in person or zoom interviews? I'm from out of state so I was just curious if anyone heard ?

Hi Sabrina.

What kind of strings attached that may exist? Since you mentioned, I wonder if you may have knowledge of some from your experience.

HCA gave me the congratulations acceptance letter with important details, as well as packet to order their uniform. The recruiter said I will have more forms coming when closer to my starting residency date. 

Encompass is not only Home Health but has a SNF with ratio of 1:5-8 which is better than what I had of 1:12-16. Anyway, Encompass is giving me two weeks to decide. My interest is to work in a hospital; so this is not an optimal option for me. 

Anyway, just providing information of my experiences in case it can be helpful to other new grads.

Has anyone been able to find the link to apply for the Nursing Residency Program at Houston Methodist? It seems the link is missing?

When looking at this page (https://www.houstonmethodist.org/education/nursing/houston-methodist-nursing-residency-program/), there is a link "to start your graduate nurse profile" (https://gradnurses.houstonmethodistcareers.org/), and that page does not appear to have any option for starting a profile. Maybe there's a delay.

I've been checking all morning and don't see anywhere to actually apply ? I'm guessing they are just delayed in getting everything posted because earlier the residency program page still said Summer 2021
