info needed

hi

i'm thinking about relocating to houston, texas and i need some info about nursing career. i'm in michigan (windy and cold right now) and i graduated from lpn to rn program last may and i still havent had a luck to find a job in the hospital so i'm working in nursing home. my question is is it hard for new grad or new nurse find a job in the hospital? what are the pay rates in houston hospitals and nursing homes? are there any st.john health system hospitals in texas? what are the working conditions at work? appreciate your help!1 :bow::bow::bow:

Med Center (Houston) hospitals usually start around 23-25/hr for new grads. I have no idea about St. John, none in Houston.

I don't think it's hard at all to find new grad jobs, you just have to apply when they are open (a few mths before graduation).

graduatenurse,

COME ON DOWN!!! Houston employment remains wide open for nurses. With your experience, you are not exactly a new grad; most hospitals do offer formal programs for new grads (residencies, internships, etc.) but you will have to check with them to determine whether they have specific start dates or not.

Be sure to factor in the whole 'commuting issue'. Don't settle on an apt until you figure out where you are going to work. Our traffic is legendary, so you don't want to be dependent on the (ironically named) freeways - you'll want to use surface streets instead.

Just PM me if I can be of any assistance.
