Methodist typically takes longer than most of the hospitals from what I've heard and experienced. I applied September 2nd and started receiving interview calls the last week of October, first week of November. Hope this helps!

Hey! Good luck with your final semester! Here’s some answers to your questions. 1. When applying can you essentially apply once but it goes to all locations and they then reach out for an interview? Initially, I applied to the different locations. It was one overall application per location. Since then, I think the applications have changed. There will be an expo for your graduating class in which you conduct a 5ish minute interview with 3 different positions/ locations. When it gets closer to time, a recruiter will reach out to you to see which specific location/ speciality you’re interested in and based on your interests, they’ll send you an invite to schedule 3 interviews per expo day. There was 2 expo (interview) days they offered. If you need a virtual interview, ask and they will set you up with one on the expo day! I wish I would have known that ahead of time. 2. What is the base pay for the residency program? The starting pay is $30. They’ll pay you more based on hospital and LVN experience. They quoted me the highest out of different hospitals but I’m an LVN. 3. What is the night and weekend differential? Nights $3.75 and weekends $4.30 as of now. im trying to weigh my options and without pay transparency on the sites is kind of challenging. - Yes, I wish more hospital websites were transparent! At this time, most hospitals starting pay is $30. Baylor was like $28 without experience and $29.50 with experience. I’ve heard that our rates for this class are higher than the previous semesters so hopefully the rates go up when you guys graduate!! I hope this helps!!

I’m not sure if we do. You had to do pre boarding? What did that consist of? I don’t think I’ve received information about that yet

Good luck!! I hope you get it!!

I am an LVN also!! Do you mind sharing if you were able to negotiate and what their offers are based on different years of experience? I know some hospitals have a set rate, no matter if you have experience or not while some do offer more. Not sure how Methodist is?

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

Congratulations!! That’s awesome! Do you know what the pay ranges and shift differentials are for Methodist?

Have you tried applying to Baylor and medical city? Both hospitals have recruiters that will reach out to you after you apply to get your interest and schedule you for an interview somewhere! Parkland hospital started reaching out for interviews as well.

Has anyone accepted a position at McKinney? I would love to connect!

That is amazing! Good luck!!

Thank you! Good luck to you!! Have you looked into THR, Med City, Baylor and surrounding hospitals??

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!

I applied and received an email to schedule an interview!

I was told it’s: Nights: $3.75 Weekends: $4.30

Congratulations!! I got an offer for L&D McKinney!

Congratulations, that is amazing!! Which one do you think you’ll accept?

That’s what I heard but each department is different! For those who didn’t receive same day offers, they may hear back tomorrow after people accept or decline their offers or until they get more organized LOL. Hopefully you hear back asap!!

I heard that they were waiting to send out and finalize offers by tomorrow. Some places over offered their positions so they were waiting on those to accept or decline. I went to the bash yesterday and they gave us until Friday to accept our offers. Maybe that could be it?

Has anyone else received a job offer??

Baylor has pay increases as you go through the program, just like others. Go with your gut and what position you truly see yourself doing and being happy with. Congratulations on your offers!!

Awesome, thank you! Which position did you accept?

Do you know what their shift differentials are?

Did anyone receive an offer after attending the first bash yesterday?

Has anyone tried to negotiate their offer? I’ve heard from a couple people that were offered positions that their rate is $29.50. Curious to see if anyone has or know of someone who’s tried or if the set rate is that?

Is ED and Med Surg your top choices?
