Dallas VA questions :)

[Pairofshues]

I am in the hiring process at the Dallas VA hospital. I am planning to relocate in June. I have elementary aged school kids. Moving to an area with a great school district is the probably the most important factor of where we will live. I have heard the northern Dallas areas - like Plano have really good school districts, but I have not heard of any in the Southern / South west / South East side of Dallas (like Grand Prairie, Duncanville, ie). I would appreciate any info/suggestions. Especially of where NOT to move.

I currently work at a HCA facility and thought about going part time/per diem at a HCA facility in/near Dallas - any suggestions of where to or NOT to work?

Anyone who works at the Dallas VA Hospital, I have a lot of questions for you :) I have read some negative OLD postings regarding the Dallas VA on here - haven't seen any current reviews about the hospital.

Do you like the facility and why? Is it old(er)? How is the equipment? What type of pumps and computerized charting system do you use?

I would be working telemetry - med surg, any info regarding that specific unit would be fantastic!

I would appreciate any info/suggestions that anyone provides!

Thanks in advance!!!

I don't work at the Dallas VA, I work at the VA in Lubbock. I grew up in Lewisville and may want to transfer back to the DFW someday (for aging parents). Currently my commute is 12 minutes. I sure would hate to give that up......
