Agency Nursing in Houston, Tx

Published

I live in Louisiana now and I'm currently trying to move to Houston, Tx. I heard the best thing to do is get with an agency. Has anyone heard of any? Also I'm a new grad with only 6 months experience. Is there a requirement on how much experience you have to have? Other than Agency's is there anyplace in Houston, Tx that anyone recommends??

Sometimes an agency will want 1 year of experience, but then some don't. They just want you to be licensed. Just make some calls and ask. I don't live in that area so it may be different there....

Keep in mind....some agencies do not have benefits....so you want to make sure you look at the big picture...I worked Registry my first 2 years out of school...money was great...then my back went out...needed surgery....what saved me was I had medical benefits thru my wife's job...but still..no work...no pay unless you buy your own insurance which is costly. Also...liability insurance isnt a bad idea (in my humble opinion)..its cheap (google NSO)..I think I pay around 100 dollars a year for 5 mil or so in coverage etc...
