Parkland hospital

Hey, can someone give me a bit of info, how far is Parkland Hospital from Frisco Texas, I will soon be finished with Excelsior and I don't think GABON is going to change their minds so I'm thinking of moving to Dallas I'm a single mom with three girls and currently make 90k a year as an Lpn in Fl (i work 84 hours a week) I would like to know if the Dallas area hospitals take in mind if you were an Lpn before you became an RN for salary purposes only. I have almost 8 years as an lpn, and have worked Med-Surg,TELE,PCU and some ICU. Please I'm looking for some feedback. THANKS
