Baylor Scott and White Waco

[ans2021]

I was looking through texas jobs on gaswork and saw this baylor scott and white job in waco. I loved my interview with the program in Temple. Does anyone have much information on the job in Waco?

Got a buddy that works at a BSW hospital, in another location. They have been very slow to respond to staffing issues, and changes in expected compensation, over the last few years. If you’re happy with the compensation/schedule being offered, it may be a perfectly ok gig, but just beware that if there are any current staffing shortages, they may not get resolved in any kind of timely fashion, leaving you at risk for a MUCH higher workload.

BSW is as close to “big bureaucracy”, as you’re going to find.

The Baylors are starting to go in house… every location is different so get Waco specific information. I work at two Baylors and love one and hate the other. Baylor waxahachie is a nightmare if the worst kind but that’s an NPH locale…. For now. One Baylor I work with is md only zero crnas ever. The other is just fine with super extended care team… no institutional consistency 🤷‍♀️

Which Baylor will crack first and go locums?

BUMC

 

[amyl]

Hmmm you said Bumc definitively…. Are you in my ‘hood? USAP at bumc already has locums - many locums crnas, a locums dr at bhvh and few local prn drs and lots of local prn crnas.
Honestly, Bumc is a pretty tough place to work… the highest acuity, extended care team, new grad crnas…. I do think that Bumc will try to move in house in the next few years…. But hiring for that place is a big ask

Most of the BSW facilities I know of in “Central Texas”, were ”Scott and White” facilities, long before it became “Baylor Scott and White”. They were virtually all “in house” staffing. Places up in/near Dallas were “Baylor”, and thus, were staffed by different private/AMC groups.

Waco was a bit different, as it was “Hillcrest”, but was taken over by Scott and White, and became an “in house” (Scott and White physicians) deal.

Again, I’ll admit to having little to no specific info about Waco. What I do know is about a smaller BSW facility to the south of there, and how the “big bureaucracy” of BSW staffs/runs it. Good job security, but low-ish pay (failure to react to changing market conditions) and thus, multiple departures of CRNA staff/inability to hire new staff, leading to more work (no/low compensation) for those who remain, and little/no attempt to find locums to pick up the slack, in the interim.

This is a question/concern you need to address, if considering a position with that organization (If we’re missing staff, does my pay go up SIGNIFICANTLY, covering staff shortages?).

The BSW Waco salaries do not justify living in Waco. Not sure how the PP group there does there but I doubt they do well

Neither do any usap jobs in Texas. It’s a real shame. Texas booming…one of best states in country…but not for anesthesia.. They all went anti Texas and sold out. Now cost of living and all the benefits of Texas coming home for those old partners as they can’t sell folks on a job that’s way worse.

Yeah that place has something like 60-70 anesthetizing sites.. good luck finding a group that large to bring in-house.

Which hospital is it? I may have connections there. Is this a CT job? If so I may have even more info.

Hospital is off hillcrest drive in Waco. The non call position pays about 450k plus benefits. Not a CT job.

pay is trash.
needs to be atleast 150k more.
450k is what people were getting paid in 2021-2022, notwithstanding that Waco is not a desirable area compared to the metros.

For a non call position? I must choose poorly because 450 for no nights or weekends sounds pretty good to me plus benefits 😢.Currently making around 500 with lots of call no benefits.

Definitely no institutional consistency but they attempted to have Unified bylaws for all of north Texas Baylor market

fair point, but using an average of 1 weekday call/week and 1 weekend call/month, it should still scale accordingly. removing that call burden is not worth taking 150-200k less.

Saw a similar post for a job at Northside in ATL. 450K 7-3 no nights, weekends or call with full benefits. Are you're days fixed hours or variable? For day doc track with benefits 450 sounds pretty reasonable. Waco is the X factor 😉

Many ASC jobs on east coast now 500k a year. 10+ weeks vaca. Some guaranteed outs by 4. Busy days but no call and low acuity

 

[deleted1203146]

There's a lot to be said for low stress, no pager and nights and weekends free.
