    Baylor university med center?

    I have worked there for several years and can help answer some of them. In general, I have enjoyed working for Baylor, and in general the nurse to patient ratios are lower compared to other DFW hospitals. I have worked for 2 others in the last 10 yea...

    Baylor Healthcare System TDA program

    I misunderstood your question then. No, I do not have the answer on the salary breakdown.

    Baylor Healthcare System TDA program

    There is a raise for GNs that occurs every 6 months. I believe it is 50c per 6 months, but I am not 100% sure. This is added to the base pay.

    Baylor Healthcare System TDA program

    For a brand new RN, base pay is $25 and you get a (automatic) raise every 6 months for 2 years.

    Baylor Healthcare System TDA program

    If you pick up extra shifts during the week, you are not getting the TDA differential, only regular shift differential. Every unit can only have up to 50% TDA staff working on weekends, so if we have 10 RNs on a Saturday/Sunday up to 5 can be TDA. M...

    Parkland Hospital vs. Baylor

    I think it's not even a comparison. Baylor's culture is nurse friendly and they center themselves around the employees. The only other hospital with a similar nurse friendly culture I have experienced was MD Anderson.

    Our GNs didn't have to sign any employment contracts.

    If you were told to buy royal blue, I would go with that. We wear navy blue in Dallas.

    BSWH Residency September 2017

    Baylor RN uniform color is navy blue. The only unit that wears a different color is the ED.

    Baylor Sept 2017 internship

    Baylor Dallas interviews for September have been released in the last 7 days. Many of the managers are just now reviewing the resumes with the recruiters. Start date for most of the GN orientation is Sept 13. Good luck!

    why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    One of the lobbyists for the Texas Nurses Association told me that hospitals will continue making staffing cuts at bedside until nurses start billing for their professional services like every other discipline does (like PT/OT/speech for example). O...

    New manager needs help

    Of course I would never mention patients by name. I identify the specific situation that the nurse excelled in.

    Do you have a free charge nurse on your unit?

    I am in oncology at a trauma level 1 & magnet hospital. Our charge nurses on days don't carry patients. The charge nurses on nights have anywhere from 0-2 patients, depending on census.

    Leaving first job, did you have a pay increase?

    I went from hourly pay to salarly pay and took a major pay-cut. But the hours were better and the level of stress was lower.

    Discouraged New Nurse

    I agree with taking a step back and breathe. Your preceptor did a good thing for letting you learn from your error. I am on a hematology unit and 8 weeks for a new grad is not enough time. We do 12 weeks and 1 week of classroom oncology internship. S...
