Nevada to Texas

Published

Hi all, I was thinking of moving to Texas but I would like to know how is is finding jobs in the Austin/San Antionio area? I would have a year of experience being a LPN before I come, and I want to do a LVN-RN program there.

Thanks for any answers!

The local job market in Austin is flooded with too many nurses and not enough jobs for everyone who would like to work. Although it is a beautiful city, the cost of living in Austin is high and the nursing pay rates are low.

San Antonio has a low cost of living, low pay rates, and better job prospects for nurses.

I live in San Antonio, Last saturday I applied for a position at one of the local hospital networks (only because I am ready for a change, I do have a job). Anyhow, called for interview on monday, hired the next day. Seems to me there is a ton of work here; send your resume or apply online and see what happens! Good luck!

I was hired at North East Baptist Hospital in L&D , but they only worked me in PP which was nice, but I quit a few months ago due to accepting another job, but I know that they hired LVNs there. They have a few other hospitals around the city as well.

Thank you for the replies! I don't plan on moving until next year, just wanted to get the gist of things. How are the LVN-RN programs there? Where I am at they have none! And the online schools are not excepted.

Thank you all!
