new grad looking to relocate

Published

Hi guys. I just graduated a few weeks ago, and am sitting for NCLEX in a couple of weeks. I'm looking to relocate from where I live in NYC to Texas, preferably east Texas (closer to family.)

Can you guys tell me of any hospitals that are hiring new grads? I read that Houston is too congested for example, and I am interested in looking in smaller areas that will take me. I've applied to Scott and White (about a week ago). I applied for my license in a compact state so that I would be able to move to any of the compact states to work.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I don't know about any hospitals in east Texas, but Midland Memorials Hospital in Midland is constantly hiring new grads. The hospital has a high turnover rate, people basically only work there long enough to get experience for other jobs.

Be cognizant that, if you relocate to Texas permanently, you would still need to obtain a Texas nursing license by endorsement even if you have an out-of-state compact license.

Thanks. I will look on the BON website and find out the details.
