An increasing number of hospitals in the major cities of Texas prefer graduates with BSN degrees for their new grad programs. However, most non-acute care hospital employers (nursing homes, home health, private duty, clinics, psychiatric facilities, LTAC hospitals, rehab hospitals) hire new nurses with ADNs. And a few hospitals still hire new grads with ADNs.

Specializes in ER, progressive care.

Hospitals in suburbs hire new grads with ADNs, too. You honestly won't really know until you try, but my advice is do not move until you have secured employment.
