Hello All,
Im looking to relocate, Ive been a nurse for almost 7yrs now with mostly PICU/NICU experience but I do have 1 year of Labor and Delivery under my belt. I know a little about Women's Hospital of Texas, are there other any busy nice L&D's in Houston and Dallas?

I live in Dallas, so I have experience with a few of the L&D's here. But I will say that L&D jobs in general are pretty hard to come by.
Parkland is an extremely busy state hospital, delivering more babies per year than any other hospital in the country. I did my OB rotation there in school and it was a lot of fun. Very high Hispanic population, big plus if you speak Spanish. Most people say you can get more experience there in one year than you would in several years anywhere else. Not exactly classed as "nice", but a great experience.
I did my senior internship at Baylor Dallas "big Baylor". It also stays busy, and is a really nice private hospital. Voted several times as "best place to have a baby in Dallas".
I worked at THR Presby Dallas L&D for a year and loved the nurses there. Also pretty busy, nice facility, and THR is a good company with lots of branches all over DFW.
I myself had my baby at Medical City Dallas and had a great experience with all my nurses.
Hope that helps! :)
Thanks for your input
