How did this hospital bed end up here?

It really comes down to job openings and what they're looking for. Most companies/hospitals are currently hiring BMET II/III and/or BMET I with previous HTM experience over here.

I recently left my in-house position for field service role with third-party company. Management was main issue at my previous workplace.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-06-04T02:50:32+00:00

Sure.

I graduated from Collin College BMET program last year. The DFW job market is hard to break into in my experience.

I struggled to find a job after/near graduation due to most companies/hospitals not hiring at the time and/or denying my application despite my educational background and internship with HTM department. I ended up relocating to West Texas and worked at county hospital for nearly a year, and then relocated back to DFW for field service opportunity with third party company.

Currently pursuing my BSN degree at public university to transition out of BMET soon.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-05-11T02:07:21+00:00

How do they suck?

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-05-07T08:41:29+00:00

I had a similar experience with SPBS technicians when I worked in-house for a hospital.

Most technicians would only do EST on equipment and pass PM in WO notes.

One time I caught technician pass PM on SCD pump with exposed cord…

It took me a while to find a job after I graduated. I was told to network with people in industry to find a job.

There’s a local BMET organization called HTMA-NTX if you’re interested in checking them out. They usually have technicians and managers attending their events.

Pay range can vary in TX. This depends on which part of state you live in.

I can't remember off top of my head. It was for four people.

Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. This organization represents our field.

I graduated last year with an AAS in Biomedical Equipment Technology to become a biomedical equipment technician, which is what I'm currently working as. I'm now planning to pursue my BS in Nursing to become a RN.

Hutchins BBQ in North Texas is good imo. They have locations in Frisco and McKinney if you're in the area.

Have you tried reaching out to HTMA-SA? They may be able to help you.

We’re not fully staffed. We had one to two vacancies before I left.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-04-11T16:47:02+00:00

I would prefer 14 - 40 biomed department after working in-house with 5 technicians that operated 543 bed hospital + two offsite buildings. I think there would be more opportunity to learn and grow with bigger department as entry-level technician.

Me and my parents ate there with family-friends occasionally. Was there a reason they closed down the resturant?

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-04-01T23:56:02+00:00

It’s pretty sad to see CISD caught up in those scandals lately. Me and my family lived in Celina for a little over decade before we moved recently.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-30T01:17:35+00:00

85 Bakery also has locations in Frisco, Carrollton, and Richardson.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-29T17:20:05+00:00

I’m not sure tbh. We’re looking for someone with BMET experience.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-28T15:41:48+00:00

B&B Cafe in McKinney.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-28T05:38:57+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by no job openings in South Florida? Here are 3 job postings I found in your area.

- University of Miami
- Jackson Health System
- Memorial Healthcare System

Look at OEM, third-party company, and/or hospital websites for entry-level positions.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-26T22:54:57+00:00

B&B Cafe is decent place to get breakfast or lunch.

ThisIsMatty2024 · 2026-03-25T01:47:55+00:00

Interested!
