Nursing jobs in west texas

Published

I am currently looking for employment in West Texas. I'm moving back to Colorado City, Texas. What are my options regarding nursing jobs. There is a small hospital in Synder and in Colorado City, but they are not hiring. I have seen home health opportunities. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, I am an new grad (May 2011) and I live in the DFW area. I have been applying to West TX. and basically statewide since I had no luck in the super-saturated DFW RN market. I interviewed with GEO in Big Springs, and that went well-waiting for security clearance on that. I did two phone interviews with BSA of Amarillo and they want me to visit next week. I was contacted by Hendrick in Abilene and did a form via email and then did assessment tests today. I was contacted by Brownwood by a nurse recruiter, but I decided not to rsue it. On Friday nurse recruiter from Christus in Corpus Christie called and left message. I have also applied to scott and white in Temple. The Geo company seems to pay very well, I was not given the rate but in HR a sign said LVN rate is 23/hr, so RN should be good. Their benefits are excellent and it is 40 hrs. wk. It is a minimum security corrections facility and I never even considered it before this. Big Springs is pretty small and I am use to the big city, but I was applying to every hospital in DFW and getting nothing! I have to relocate to get started! I wish you much luck and I think Lubbock UMC hospital is also hiring new grads! Best of luck to you

My spouse works @ Community Medical Center in San Angelo and their job board shows a current $6000 sign on bonus for RN's. Nothing about a bonus for LVN's, but there are at least jobs posted for them. Shannon Health in San Angelo hiring as well. San Angelo is a small city, with a small town atmosphere, low cost of living, nice family oriented town. Good luck!
