Hi, I would like to open a discussion about MDAnderson in Houston TX. Specifically the one at TMC. I recently got an offer from them, and I would like to know what other nurses that are currently working, or used to work for them have to say. Also, do they offer opportunity to cross train? for example to OR? (I have almost 2 years of experience in med surg and surgical trauma)

I did find an attorney. He told me that the contract is illegal in some states, but unfortunately not the one I live in (Texas). He said my best bet was to try to get a payment plan. To be honest I did not get a lot of help from him. I have talked to other nurses who were part of the same cohort as me, and they quit either before or after me. Nobody has received letters or calls asking from HCA about the money. I am the only one in my cohort who has. Also, one of the nurses who quit got $5k relocation money and she has not been asked to pay it back nor pay the $10k for breaking the contract. I just thing it's odd that some people are forced to pay and other aren't. I know about someone who used to work at my unit and quit right away, apparently she chose not to pay, but I do not know what was the outcome. One thing that the lawyer mentioned is that the amount is out righteous (I agree) and the contract doesn't even explain how they came up with the amount. It just says "we estimate". If any of you have more information about people who didn't pay let me know.

Did you ever hear from them asking for the money? what advice did you get from the lawyer? I quit a month ago and I got a letter from a third party company asking for the money back. Some people from the same cohort but different hospitals also quit and didn't hear from them. I would appreciate the info. Also, so happy you found a better work place!! Thank you!

Hello, I'd like to open a discussion about HCA and the contract that they make you sign when you go through their residency program for nurses. I quit a month or so ago, and I got the letter where they are asking for the money back. I contacted a lawyer because I know of someone who got a out, talked to a lawyer and was not required to pay anything back. However, due to the coronavirus the lawyer is taking forever to get back to me (social distancing, doing everything through email and phone). Has anybody have experience with this and got out? I appreciate the help.

Hello!! I broke my contract last month and I got a letter from "Benefit Recovery Group" asking for the money back. I was wondering if you could share with me what happened after you received the letter? It's not fair to pay $10,000 "for a training", that's money I never received. If you have any info I'd appreciate it.
