More about UBH Denton
Census shapes the roster. Former staff said many positions only held when the house ran near 90% full, and flexing people to volume upset a lot of them. A former psych RN described chronic short staffing, high turnover, and orientation that felt extremely poor after Universal Health Services began managing the facility. Another former employee remembered workplace friendships and being promoted from within after UHS acquired the hospital from Ascend. Current RN pay is not posted. A 2021 social post about nurses and mental health techs listed $11.33 an hour plus shift differential and a $600 sign-on; that hourly rate fits a tech far more than an RN, so you should ask for today’s scale before you accept. Give yourself extra time on University Drive — former staff called that traffic terrible.
