@rdnkmommy---which Methodist hospital are you at? Do they offer anything like Baylor TDA?

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check out Methodist as well!

Thanks for the input!

Baycare has a good new grad program but it is very competitive to get in. They strongly promote from within and lots of people start as PCTs to get a foot in the door in order to apply to the program.

Baycare and TGH are the best places around.

The patient population does not make much of a difference to me...I have worked in both extremes. What is important to me is a hospital that places value in their nursing staff and has a good reputation. Do the HCA hospitals there have a good reputation? Where I live right now, they don't. It also seems like there are lots of newer hospitals in the area, I saw that Baylor opened a new facility in McKinney. Bottom line, I am interested in good working conditions, good reputation in the community, opportunities for advancement, and good pay.

I am a nurse with 15 years of experience in L & D. Just curious if anyone has input on where the best place is to work in Dallas for experienced nurses. I currently work for an HCA hospital in another state and am planning to relocate to Dallas. I was going to just transfer but there are so many hospitals around, I may change it up if there are better working conditions and pay. Any input is appreciated!
