Austin New-Grad Job Market

U.S.A. Texas

Published

So I am thinking about moving to Austin, but I am wondering how the New-Grad Job market is? Will it be easy for me to get a job? My current area is a little demand for New-Grads, so I wondering if I will have a difficult time finding a job..... Thanks

NO...you won't have a problem getting a job. Austin has plenty of openings. Go to www.seton.net or www.stdavids.com they are the two Big players in town, with several hospitals to choose from, North, Central, South or the suburbs, Round Rock or Georgetown. PLUS, they are Three (3) NEW hospitals going up in WIlliamson County, Round Rock and Cedar Park area. www.sw.org is Scott and White's site. Austin is used to new grads...ACC and UT put out great nurses and they jump on them. There are even preceptor and internships for new grads. Check it out. One time someone said there were not many jobs in Austin, so I went to the above websites and counted some 156 RN jobs and 60 LVN jobs open in the area, thats not counting specialty hospitals, clinics, LTC facilities and State of Texas jobs (Austin has tons of state agencies employing nurses)

Hope that helps....

P.S. The Austin area is awesome!!!
