Does anyone know by chance what hospitals in the Dallas Texas area that offer weekend option?
Thank-you for your help!

I'm in the D/FW area. Many hospital systems in the area stopped offering weekend options circa 2009-2010 when the economy soured. I suppose management found it too expensive to continue offering full benefits and increased pay to nurses who only work two shifts per week.
Thank-you for your reply! I was noticing this- I need to work weekends but don't need the benefits because of NP school during the week. We just moved here and I landed at Baylor. I didn't know anything about the hospitals down here and would like to see what other hospitals offer. Thank-you again!

Ironically, the 12 hour weekend shifts originated at Baylor and are still referred to as Baylor Plan.

I remember them. The generic term for weekend option was "Baylor". My hospital stopped offering it years ago.
