I'm looking to move to either Dallas or Houston in the next 9 months or so. At that time, I will have a little over 2 years of adult CVICU experience at a Level I trauma teaching center -- working with LVADs, fresh post-op hearts, ECMO, transplants, CABGs and everything in between. I'm looking to stay in the same specialty. I am just starting my acadamic journey to becoming a Cardiac NP. I would like to stay at a Level 1 Trauma teaching facility for now.
I moved here from the largest city in Jersey last year and I need to get out of this small town! I've been to Dallas but haven't visited Houston yet. I'm trying to decide which one would be best for my future endeavors. I know of the Med Center in Houston and Parkland and Baylor in Dallas. Which city or hospitals would be good to look into?
I'm a big-city girl who loves lots of cultures, events and places to hang out and eat. I'm not really into the nightlife but it's not bad to be near one! I am not concerned about traffic -- I lived in NYC for almost 3 years and worked there for 5..I'm used to it.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking to visit Houston soon!

Actually this is not true. There are for profit facilities in the TMC area, Kindred Hospital is one of them...
