I'm currently in the Med/Surg Residency that started last month at Methodist Dallas. It's about 22 of us so it's a pretty large group. But from working at another hospital before as a PCT. Methodist Health System is just above 100%! Even my interview, I interviewed with my manager and about 8-10 employees on my unit for the panel. I felt so comfortable with them. I could tell everyone is about team work and helping others. The atmosphere is so positive here and the clinical educators are so awesome. Everyone really wants you to learn and succeed. You can ask them anything. They even told us if you need to cry after a rough day or so you could call them lol. Cause they've been there before. You can tell right from the beginning of orientation even during new hire orientation that they really care. It really amazed me how friendly everyone was, because during my clinicals or working at other hospitals you don't get that reaction. Congratulations on your new position I know your going to enjoy it!

They have some intern positions at Methodist Dallas they posted that start March 23rd! Check those out!

It's very hard right now to get a job within DFW most employers want BSN applicants. I graduated May 2014 but passed boards in October and it's been hard to find a job with my ADN. I would say look into the outskirts of the DFW area because they hire ADNs more than within. So you might have to drive further. Check HCA Denton, and Parkland because they hire ADNs. I was able to land a job in Waco - Baylor Scott and White. HCA Denton offered me a position first but they had a better deal. So it just depends but it's very saturated like others say.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience working here or during the internship program ? The staff seems very nice and the hospital is bigger than what I expected it to be. I just wanted some more information..

Thanks for the information. I'm gonna go ahead and interview down there and see my options. And see what their all about because HCA offered me a position but I don't like some of the things that go into it. So it doesn't hurt to interview at other places. I have an interview for surgical ICU and 4N I think at Hillcrest. How is the interview process?

Do all HCA's do the "stipend" internship ?

What's the starting pay for GN positions?

I got offered the internship position at Denton. :) And yes keep us updated. I hope you get the position!

Congrats!!! I know your relieved now! Also will keep you updated!

Yes that's what I meant! Sorry I wasn't specific!

I actually applied for Hillcrest in Waco. And they called me asking if I was still interested/interview. I tried calling back, left a message but no return phone call so I'll try to call tomorrow morning again. But before I applied I ask about relocation and someone emailed me saying that they do for PT/FT offers. Does anyone know if this is true ? I was quite surprised but don't know how true that is

Your interview sounds so intense! OMG! I hope you get it though! I want anything I can get at this point even though Denton is far but I did apply for some THR ones not sure if I get any of those. But Denton I was one of their first interviews last week and they have plenty this week so I'm keeping hope alive. I should hear something before Christmas or by the new year.

I had my interviews for HCA Denton Friday. For PCU and Medical units. My first interview I talked to the manager and supervisor, and then a current residency and two other nurses on the unit, but my other one was just the manager. I thought it went pretty well but they have more this week so we'll see. They asked me about conflict, tell then about myself, how would I handle certain situations, etc. What I liked most about nursing, where do I see myself in 3-5 years, etc.

I know they barely have anything posted. Hopefully more will come this week. But doesn't look like it.

THR has started to post GN positions if anyone is interested!

I just sent you a PM! Check your inbox. Also THR posted a few GN positions today.

The recruiter called me today from JPS. She said they've been busy hiring their internal applicants and they have very limited external positions. But she did state they just started looking at the externals this week or so. So hopefully we might hear something by next week maybe. I'm not sure though. I would try to call or email just to get your name in the mix just in case.

Congrats!!!

Try applying at HCA Denton Regional, it's a distance but it's better than nothing. They just started looking at applications and scheduling interviews. I've been applying everywhere also and I graduated in May (ADN) and passed my boards in October. It's tough!

I have two interviews scheduled for HCA Denton Regional... so we will see how it goes. It's a distance from Arlington but I'll take anything I can get right now. Anybody else hear anything from any other HCA hospitals ?

My ER and CardioPul-ICU applications for Parkland got moved up to the hiring manager yesterday, haven't heard nothing else. Still waiting on JPS. I have a phone interview for HCA within the next week or so. Any luck with anybody else ? Praying we will all hear good news at least before the New Year.

You might want to ask the recruiter. Because THR if you accept an internship position they will clear out any other offers/interviews you applied for in the organization system. I'm thinking HCA is probably the same. But sometimes you can ask the recruiter and they will give you a certain time to think it over but thats only 24-48 hr period. I would call the recruiter that offered you the position and go from there.

The HCA recruiter called me for a phone interview in a week or so but I'm not sure what position they never stated. But I know I didn't apply at Dallas, just Denton, Plano, Arlington. Anyone know what they ask during the phone interview/screening ?

Nothing from Parkland or JPS.. I tried to email the jps recruiter no response yet.
