ASN or BSN?

Do you know where you are going to live? The Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex is huge with many smaller cities within it.

Do you have a means of support before you get a job?

Do you have your Texas license yet?

Dallas/ Ft Worth is a highly competitive market. If you have a BSN it helps a lot, but their are a few that hire ASN's, but they may have 50+ applicants for a single position.

I do not know off hand which ones since I am not in the area, but a few threads here talk about it.

Seems I have read new grad pay around there is in the $23-25 range?

Yes, that's correct. And due to the glut of nurses in the area, most of the major hospital systems around here have resorted to hiring nurses with BSN degrees only.

Parkland has a lot of nursing positions available. I dont believe they care if you have ADN. I heard you will need your BSN later on. I think they give you 3 years to complete the program but I think that's going to happen once the new hospital is built.
