Plano, Texas

Hi Everyone,

I am going to interview with a hospital in Plano, TX soon. Wondering about the area and what kind of wages to expect. Anyone know anything about the Medical Center Plano ? Appreciate the help.

Try to email teeituptom - that nurse works in ER at PLano. It is an HCA facility and therefore pay is NOT great as a rule (I work at a different HCA hospital down the road from Plano).

Plano is in an upscale area, so they might pay a little more.

Good luck!

What unit are you interviewing for? As with all hospitals, some departments are better than others. PM me if you have specific questions.

Very nice hospital

Pay is about par for the area, I do well for myself anyway

Cost of living is rather inflationary as the whole area around plano is booming big time

Jobs are open in all areas

Good golf courses all around here, and if you like golf as much as I do thats an excellent fringe benefit

what do you shoot by the way, I carry a 5 handicap

schools are better than most in Texas

but then consider that Texas always rates near the bottom nationwide on an educational level.

That would be the 7th floor. A really busy unit but everyone is very nice (can't say that about some floors). There are two telemetry floors and I much prefer this one. Good luck!

I worked several areas at this hospital and enjoyed them all except the CV unit. The doctors were EXTREMELY rude...and this was the opinion of the ER docs also.It is a beautiful hospital and the staff is very nice.I worked everywhere but the CV units...I refused to work there and I have never refused to work anywhere.Just depends on how you react to working with hateful physicians.

Maybe we need our own group in here

I live in San Antonio which is 4 hours away from Plano, and I can tell you that hospitals in Dallas as all over Texas are begging for nurses.

I got my R.N. in 1979, did Cardiac Charge Nurse for 10 years, moved to legal nurse consulting, medical fraud investigation and medical auditing, and now own a business from home ... but I still stay in the loop with my contact.

The weather is totally awesome, gets rather warm in the summer, but RARELY have to deal with cold weather...

If you have any additional questions, message me....

The last I heard no, but I'd bet it also depends on your specialty. ICU and Trauma are always in hgh demand with all the nurses leaving the field...

Let me see what else I can find out for you! Linda/RN
