L&D nurses in Austin

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Specializes in L&D.

I am currently in Raleigh, NC and am applying to CNM school here. If I get in, I am thinking of Austin after graduation....if I don't get in, I am thinking of moving my family to Austin Summer of 2017.

Are there any hospitals that are better for L&D? What is the average pay for a nurse with 4 years of experience? I will have 3 years this June, and 4 by the time we are looking to move if I don't get into grad school. I'm looking for a hospital that preferably does EBP and is nurse friendly and supportive. I work night shift here, but am looking to go to day shift if we move as I am a single mom of 4 kids (currently 13, 11, 9, 6).

Thanks and if you like, you can PM me.

I am from Austin and don't have kids, but have only heard good things about the hospitals there! The ones that come to mind, and I highly recommend you looking into further, are Seton, St. David's, and Baylor Scott & White. Those are the hospitals my fellow classmates are applying to for jobs! They're large hospital systems.

The Austin hospitals with the biggest L&D units are North Austin Medical Center (part of St. David's) and Seton Main (part of Seton). seton main recently allowed midwives to have privileges there. I think Seton Main is Magnet-- or at least some of Seton's hospitals are. If you have more questions, PM. also pay might be high 20s/low 30s. good luck!
