Texas Residency Program Dates

For those in Texas what months do most residency programs start in Texas, specifically DFW areas? I am a new May grad. Passed boards 3 weeks ago last month and been having a hard time finding my first RN. All the Residencies just opened up recently for Feb 2021 and I also accepted a job offer for this month. My plan was to work at this facility until I get a residency. So far I noticed most residencies start October and February. What other months do they start? Is their one in May? Is it every 3 months a residency opens? The reason I ask is because I want to get my 6 months at this new facility so I can ramp up my resume and begin a new residency in May rather than February.

    THR, Baylor, JPS and others have a Fall, Winter, and Summer Cohort. JPS’s application period ends in 2 days. If you do not secure placement soon, you will have to find an RN job without a residency. Most programs have date cutoffs for when you graduated... Cook Children’s gives specific graduation dates you have already passed, JPS 6 months. Some others have similar policies that aren’t advertised online. DFW is a very saturated market for new grads and you may have to a settle on a position you don’t find ideal. When I was a new grad I had more than 50 applications out and got 2 interviews as a graduate with honors. Get creative and look at the VA, the prisons in Tarrant County, freestanding ERs (they’re all over and understaffed due to COVID), psychiatric facilities.
