Moving to Houston & wages

Published

Specializes in Adult ER.

Hello everyone

I'm a Canadian nursing student - almost done my practicum YEAHHHH and i have a few questions for all of you that work down in Houston or the Houston area. I have been down to Houston to visit (never in the summer though) so i know what the city is like. my questions are regarding the best places to work and the kind of wages that i should expect. I will be graduating with a BsN will have NCLEX and everything like that and will also have worked for about 6 months before i get down there. also if anyone has any suggestions for suburbs to live in that info would be greatly appreciated as i will be moving with my children...... i like the looks of Sugarland but maybe some of you have better suggestions.

Thanks

Danielle

Yes, we really have flying roaches. They are tree roaches and they are big. That aside, where you live in Houston depends on where you get a job. Hospitals in the medical center are always hiring. You can expect around $20 American dollars/hr.

Sugar Land is VERY nice.. I don't know about the wages though. I'm moving there after I graduate. I'm in the Tx Med Center right now.
