She moved, set up a new apt with yr lease, bought furniture cause she was a traveler and didn't have any and then they did that. So word to the wise be careful as texas is a right to work state. they can fire you for any reason. also dallas area participates with this company that keeps track of who works where and if you get your name on there no one that participates will hire you. I do prn in decatur and they are a great place to work with lots of different specialties to look into . Also denton has a physicians hospital, i think its denton. Any who just be careful
I thought about Galveston at one point, but I was going to go through a placement agency. After they told me all of the information that they wanted from me before I even interviewed I basically told the recruiter that I wasn't going to do all of that unless they were going to interview me for sure.
I have heard about this company in Dallas that keeps track of nurses that are fired, kind of making me eary to apply for a position in Dallas now, but thanks for the info
MS is a right to work state also, so I am familiar with that, however i guess you just have to take the good with the bad, the only difference is right to work for bare minimums there
Finally I will check out the hospital in Denton to see what it has to offer
Once again thanks for the post, everyone has been so generous with their thoughts and their info

harris methodist fort worth is good. LVN's in Fort Worth start around $20-22hr. Cost of living not to bad. $90-120k will get you an average home.
