New Grad from Brooklyn thinking about relocating to Texas

I have been thinking about relocating to Texas for an entry level RN job. I will be graduating with an ADN in December 2009 and it really looks like the job market here (NYC) for hospitals is super saturated. I really want to work in a great facility and get hands on experience. I wont be taking the NCLEX till february or early march 2010 though. St.Lukes, looks like a great facility. I saw that there are location in Woodbine, Houston, and a few other places. But, I have no idea what to expect culturally in different areas of Texas. I am born and raised Brooklyn, went to school upstate, did AmeriCorps out west so I have been around. But, If I do this I will be moving to a completely new part of the country solo. Ugh, I dunno. Any advice?
