Needing some help, moving to Fort Worth

Have you looked at monster.com or careerbuilder.com? The newspapers are good, but don't forget that Dallas is right next to Fort Worth, so that will open up lots more opportunities when you search for jobs.

I moved to Fort Worth from Southern California about 5 months ago and have had no troubles with finding work, even though I an a new nurse with minimal experience. I went to the Fort Worth Star Telegram's website and searched the online nursing advertisements to find a job.

Keep in mind that this is the largest metro area in Texas, so you may want to expand your job search to Arlington, Euless, Bedford, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Irving, Benbrook, Watauga, Keller, and other surrounding suburbs of Fort Worth/Dallas.

Watch out for Group1 in the DFW area-
It's something you need to be aware of as a TX nurse.

Here are links to some threads.

Try googling "Texas Health Resources" - they are a huge group of hospitals and clinics in this area. What kind of work are you looking for?

I am an LVN who lives and works in Fort Worth. Hospital jobs are hard to find here, but the LTC jobs are plentiful. In fact, I interviewed for 3 LTC jobs today and they all did not want me to walk out the door. Also, I have an interview scheduled for Monday. I currently earn $18.50 hourly at a large, upscale nursing home in southwest Fort Worth and $16 hourly at a small psychiatric hospital in Denton. Denton County pays remarkably lower salaries than Fort Worth.

If you're willing to do geriatrics, rehab, psych, outpatient clinic work, home health, or any number of things, you should have no problem landing an LVN job in Fort Worth.
May I recommend some great areas to live? Southwest Fort Worth is a nice place to live. North Fort Worth (along the Alliance corridor) is nice and booming. I also love the Fossil Creek area of north Fort Worth. Then there's the Mid-Cities: Euless, Bedford, Hurst, Watauga, Keller, North Richland Hills, and Haltom City. There's also Saginaw and Haslet.
