Hospitals in Austin/Dallas/Houston

Published

Specializes in OR.

Hello! I'm just wondering (and this might have already been asked but I have to leave in a few for school) if anyone could direct me to a few good hospitals that they know of in either the Dallas, Houston, or Austin area. I'm interested in applying out of state (from TN) because I will be graduating in May of this year.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

1. The Methodist Hospital (med center)

2. St Lukes Episcopal Hospital (med center)

The 2 bottom hospitals are level 1 trauma centers, you'll get plenty of excitement there. Good Luck.

There are many more choices in Houston, but for a new grad, these would be my top recommendations. :up:

Specializes in Critical Care, Education.

Tx RN has done a nice job of listing med center facilities. These hospitals are also the most popular clinical training sites for all our nursing schools, so their new grad programs fill up fast with local students. Don't be discouraged if you run into this... Most of them also have satelllite facilities in other areas of town, including new facilities that will be opening soon.

Welcome to Texas - hope you choose Houston! Don't hesitate to PM me if I can provide any additional info.

When I did an externship at St. Luke's in Houston, we had a lot of out of staters...and it seems we have quite a few in the new grad internship (at least this winter) at another facility.
