Appropriately, MTV waited until after Labor Day to announce the premiere dates for two new workplace reality series.
“Big Tips Texas,” which follows a group of friends working at a Dallas bar, premieres with back-to-back episodes starting Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 10/9c. And “Scrubbing in,” which follows the travails of nine nurses relocated to an Orange County, Calif. hospital, premieres Thursday, Oct. 24 at 10/9c.
MTV is beefing up both its unscripted and scripted slates. In August, it announced the pickup of four new reality series: “Untitled Virgins Project,” “MTV’s House of Food,” “SNACKDOWN” and “The Ex and the Why.”

“Scrubbing In,” follows a group of travel nurses assigned to work at an Orange County, CA hospital for 12 weeks. Relocating from across the country, these nurses have left their hometowns and lives behind for short-term contracts at an understaffed hospital, with the added benefit of exploring a new city. For Tyrice, Chris, Fernando and Adrian, this isn’t their first tour and they’re considered experts of the program. For first-timers Chelsey, Michelle, Crystal, Nikki and Heather, this is a new journey they’re embarking on together, looking for a change from their nursing jobs in Pittsburgh, PA.
