   Hey, I too moved to west Texas to get some experience and just recently got a job in DE. It is definitely easier getting a position here after a year experience. Where in west Texas are you?

8. Medical Benefits

   RNin replied to RNin's topic in Texas

    RNin replied to moglij's topic in Texas
