$30/hour each

@THR you request the days you want to work and they schedule you based on the needs after you complete orientation, orientation is 22 weeks, shift diffs are $3.50-10.00, 15 month contract

$5000 sign on bonus for Parkland

@ Parkland you work every other weekend and the days of the week you work are set for 2 years, orientation is 20 weeks, IDK shift diffs, 18 month contract

 

Does anyone know how frequently either hospital gets raises or Parkland's shift diffs?

Yikes every other weekend & set days sounds really rough! One of the perks of nursing for me is the flexibility. I’ve heard Parkland has different shift differentials depending on evenings vs night but I’m not 100% sure

I think THR would be a better option. I’ve heard their raises and benefits are very good

Parkland is $30/hr + 5k sign-on bonus (18month contract). IDK if it’s different for every unit, but neuro ICU doesn’t work every other weekend. You work 3 weekend days/nights per month, so you can knock it all in one weekend if you wanted. 

  • Evenings - 3.50
  • Nights - 5.00
  • Weekends - 6.00

If you were offered a position, you should have been given all that info.

@lmib2 I accepted the ER! I almost skimmed over the part that says L&D requires a 3 year contract ?‍?

@NursingTx2022  they both offer really similar pay and benefits to start out. Parkland will stay on the lower end of pay though as you move on up most likely. I think at this point it’s about what’s more important to you as far what kind of experience you want to have. Your populations will be very different between the two you mentioned. I’ve been told over and over that Parkland is a great place to start your nursing career. It might be rough, but you don’t have to stay forever.

So I asked around for more details about the differentials at THR and it’s the following…

Weekday evening: $3.75

nights: $4.50

weekend days/evening: $9

weekend nights: $10.25

critical shift: $15

Oh that's great, congs. So did they already carry out the interviews then?

I am interested in OR and was wondering whether I should apply.

I would definitely apply if you are interested!! A lot of positions are getting filled fast, especially specialties. I scheduled one but canceled yesterday because I accepted an L&D position!

Thank you, will do and congratulations on your L&D position. Those fill up really fast. L&D is my second choice to OR. I hope I get one.
