San Antonio ADN Q's

Thank you so much as I was thinking of doing just that! Coming there anyway and staying at an extended stay hotel until I can figure out what side of town I want to live on? Are there a decent number of nursing homes there as well?

Yes, I couldnt tell you how many since I would never consider working at one, but Im sure you wouldnt have a problem getting a job at one. Let us know what you decide! Good luck!

Thanks I have been driving around and I just keep getting lost? lol, Would you say that metropolitian methodist is a good place to work? Is it located in a decent area?

If you knew the zip codes, I could tell you what is good. Also, what grades your kids go to school.
Downtown is generally not an area to die for, nor is southeast.
Most of Northwest, North and Northeast is good, outside of loop 410. Medical Center is good too. There are very reasonable spots around 78245. Just stay out of the Wurzbach corridor south of I-10, where the nightclubs are. In the east, there are some pricey spots such as Westover hills. Then there is the the area of Northwest Military HWY. All depends on your preferrance.

Well Im staying off of Perrin Beitel? I think northeast baptist is about 5 minutes away? Southwest general is offering me a position as well as metropolitian hospital. I am most interested in metro methodist because they have openings in there ICU and Critical Care units for new grads and thats where I would like to go. I dont know much about the benefits each offers as of yet so...... I turn to the forums to get a generalization of the norm? 78217 is the zip where I am currently located? I have looked at homes located in 78253, 78245, and 78233 areas?

I would generally stay away from anywhere northeast of 281, except for Alamo Heights. West of 281, outside 410 has less crime.

I like San Antonio, people are nice. You can scout the medical center area, Methodist, VA, Baptist, Cristus Sta Rosa plus a number of longterm care facility, dialysis center etc. Plenty of Apartments too. Yes, you can stay at extended stay hotel within the medical center zip code.

I beg to differ on the Steakhouse issue -- Clearly Little Rhein (on the riverwalk) has the absolute best hunks of beef ANYWHERE in the Western hemisphere... and there's always the Red Barn just off I-37 south (can't remember the exact street). SA is a foodie's mecca!!

Bill Millers Barbeque is not all that great either!

Tom's Ribs was one of my favorite BBQ places in SA, but unfortunately, they closed all 3 of them recently and went out of business.
