new grad nurse moving from NY to Austin

ASH is usually hiring, but I wouldn't want to work there. I consider Seton > to st Davids, but seton is also catholic. I had to look in San Antonio, but I wanted a specialty position. Afaik anyone who git hired for June in austin was VERY lucky. Boh seton and st davids are both on hiring freezes. To work at seton you have to do their versant residency :. Start in oct. Pm me if you want and I'll give you my # and we can chat about Austin.

My hospital is hiring, in downtown san antonio, baptist medical center. It is approximately 1:15 minutes from south austin. You may be able to find a clinic or dr.s office, but i'm pretty sure that st davids is on a hiring freeze and seton until oct, when the new versant cycle starts.

others i know have looked in san marcos at central texas medical center (approx 30 mins) scott & white in temple

hill country in fredericksburg (nearly 2 hours) , college station, round rock, bastrop, marble falls. Anyway, if you want to chat, pm me and i'll pass you my number, its so much faster to get all the info in a phone conversation, or chatroom, these forums are quite slow

good luck!

Hi, I am also trying to relocate to Austin as a new grad. I am new to this website, but I really appreciate all the info so far. Does anyone know if you can work as a CNA or LVN with an RN? Thanks

I'm in a similar position as you. I moved here from another state to start the Masters program at UT. From my advanced clinicals I've had the best experiences at St. David's Hospitals or Brackenridge (Seton hospital). The vibe at the other Seton hospitals, in both med/surg and women's services where I specialize, is not happy. I think it may be the design of the floors or the mix of staff, but they just don't seem to like each other. Austin State Hospital I wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole, but they always need nurses for that reason. Yes there's a hiring freeze, but all the hospitals are hurting for nurses. My peers working the floors are fed-up with the understaffing.
