The Baylor Family
Increasing Shortages of Nurses, PhysiciansBaylor faces the same marketplace realities related to nurse and physician shortages as other health care organizations. But Baylor is fortunate to have nurtured an environment of quality care, integrity and respect, where employees want to stay. Baylor's nursing turnover rate is less than 10% annually - far below the regional rate for bedside nurses.
Baylor is proud to offer nurses the opportunity to work in an environment that is safe, healthy and rewarding for themselves and their patients. By providing staffing that is appropriate to the workload, Baylor supports nurses to meet the needs of patients. There is no mandatory overtime at Baylor, and flexible scheduling is offered. The result? Baylor attracts 30% of the graduates from local nursing schools. And Baylor Dallas has earned the prestigious designation of Nursing Magnet* hospital - the highest level of recognition for the professional practice of nursing in a hospital setting.
"The reason I love my job at Baylor is because of the interdisciplinary team that competently works beside me - caring, supportive RNs who work as a team and assist when patient volume is high; competent, meticulous MDs who appreciate my role; managers who lead with integrity and fairness; and other departments with great people who want to make a difference in the lives of others."
