Canadian RN w/ TN visa moving to TX. What hospitals are familiar/or sponsors TN workers?

Published

Specializes in Medical-Surgical, Rehabilitation,.

I'm a Canadian citizen and have been working in US as a RN for over 2 years now under TN status/visa. For those of you who are not familiar with TN visa, it's a working permit that valid for a maximum of 3 years. My 3 years with my present employer will be done this year and I don't plan on renewing it with them.

I am planning to move to Texas this summer or fall. I have no family, no kids, no other responsibilities and so I am open to any area in Texas. I'm thinking of Dallas or somewhere around the area. What cities and hospitals would you suggest? Which hospitals pay the most? Which ones treat their staff well? Good benefits? Do they offer relocation and sign on bonus? Are there hospitals in Texas that DO NOT hire or sponsor TN workers (or working visas in general?)

I've been reading and have read of positive and negative things about Presbyterian, Methodist, Baylor, Parkland and UTSW.

Most of the threads I've read that are close to my questions are posts from at least 5 years ago.

Would appreciate any input. Thank you!
