- I worked in the ED department(s) in the hospital. Poorly staffed. Lots of management, which led to gross
communication issues. Very young and inexperienced full time staff. Scheduler did not work with my schedule whatsoever. I had dates in my contract that I needed off and she scheduled me 3 out of 5 days and I was told to find people to switch with or my contract would be threatened. 07/15/2018
Housing was approximately 15 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was private. Housing was located in city of Dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 2. Found private housing. - I worked in the Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant department(s) in the hospital. I worked in the BMT unit at this hospital. The staff was very friendly and welcoming to me and other travelers. The only problem was the charting system (Meditech). It is very outdated and not user friendly. 06/13/2018
Housing was approximately 10 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was AirBnB. Housing was located in city of Dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. I found my own housing. The amenities were perfect - I worked in the NICU department(s) in the hospital. Love the area and would like to stay, but the practice here is very outdated. Not the most welcoming staff, but I'm assuming it's because the majority of them are not happy here. The hospital is offering a $20,000 sign on bonus for 2 years if that tells you anything. Turn around is terrible and morale is very low here. 07/09/2017
Housing was approximately 1 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Stayed in hotels. Housing was located in city of Dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 4. Lots of hotel options in the area - I worked in the NICU department(s) in the hospital. This hospital looks as if its stuck in 1980. Being the 6th most profitable hospital in the US you would expect A LOT more. However with it being an HCA affiliate thats what you get. Doctors are very rude to not only nurses but patients as well. I was there for over 4 months and made a lot of friends however would never go back! The policies and procedures used in the unit are also archaic to say the least. This hospital needs to come up to date in a lot of areas! 12/28/2016
Housing was approximately 1 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was NA. Housing was located in city of dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 3. did not take housing - I worked in the CHSU department(s) in the hospital. I worked in the Congenital Heart Surgical ICU. Coming from primarily PICU, NICU, they did an AMAZING job of supporting me to really build and feel comfortable caring for the most complex cardiac cases. The kids are some of the sickest I've cared for, but the team is cohesive and tireless in their dedication to getting everyone caught up and out on time. No high turnover while there - the ones that were leaving were doing so for higher education or a relocation - and there's a healthy balance of experienced and newer nurses. The nurses were all super welcoming, turning work friends to real friends in no time. The unit was spotless and bright. There's parking included in a garage across the street. The two biggest deterents from me extending were that they use and antiquated version of Meditek for charting, and that so many meds had to be prepared from stock bottles at bedside, both slowing you down SO much. Meditek is like MSDOS coding - It took me weeks to really find a flow w it, and I felt as if I spent more time facing the computer screen than my patient. Had a great experience overall tho, and would go back in a second if they updated their charting and pharmacy practices 12/21/2016
Housing was approximately 7 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was self (stipend). Housing was located in city of Dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. I did not take hospital or agency housing - I worked in the NICU department(s) in the hospital. By far the worst experience of my nursing career. If I could have selected "0" for some categories I would have. The staff was over 25% travelers, because they couldn't keep permanent staff and the travelers NEVER extended contracts. We ALL had countdowns until our contracts were finished. 07/09/2016
Housing was approximately 0.2 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Park Central. Housing was located in city of Dallas. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 3. Adequate - I worked in the ER department(s) in the hospital. Great hospital with great staff, Nurse usually average 4 patients at a time. Great ancillary staff support like tech/EMT that would do a lot for the RN such as start IV, EKG and other related pt care. Nice hospital that is private so you don't deal a lot with patients that are homeless or typical patients that you see at a county hospital. 01/06/2016
Housing was approximately NA mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was NA. Housing was located in city of NA. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. I found my one private housing which was way better.
