Pros

There are some really great people and volunteers working there!!! It's a hospital and primarily they are there to help people and that's a great thing. The benefits are really good as long as you watch every move you make.

Cons

Upper management was a mess when I was there. There were so many mid to high level execs either resigning or getting fired you couldn't keep up. The HR department totally mishandled my benefits and caused me to lose seven months of health insurance and gave me incorrect information related to short term disability that caused me to be disqualified for that benefit after I had to have surgery. I was out of work for nine months with zero disability income due to their mistakes. Also, based on my experience and job description, they pay EVERY low wages to employees with an extreme amount of responsibility for the accuracy and importance of patient orders and care. This knowledge terrifies me every time I'm in a hospital and this last part seems to be industry wide.

Pros

Coming from a smaller size hospital but big company like Methodist and known high paying hospital in DFW, I needed more shifts. Since MDMC is bigger than my other PRN, I have higher chance of getting shifts because there are more monitoring stations, more staff taking PTOs, higher chance of staff calling out sick and therefore opening the shift, etc.

Cons

More workload and higher census! Almost 50 patients on heart monitor per station.

We're glad to hear that the flexibility and availability of shifts have been a benefit for you. As one of the region's largest health systems, Methodist offers opportunities that can help PRN team members find the schedule that works best for them. We also recognize that higher patient volumes and workload expectations can come with working in a busy, high-acuity environment. Supporting our team members remains a priority, and we continually evaluate our compensation programs and workplace resources to remain competitive and help our employees succeed. Thank you for the important role you play in caring for our patients and for being a valued member of the Methodist family.
