I would try Dayton's Children's Hospital in Dayton Ohio. I don't recommend specializing right after school since it will severely limit future employment prospects, but that is your decision.

I worked at ACH in St Pete as a cardiac surgery RN years ago. We had only had 4 ORs then but it was a good place to work and to live. I would encourage you to highly consider specializing in peds. It is a special mission in life.

Texas Children's is in Houston, a much different city than Dallas.
