After a long search for the perfect new grad position, Texas has been very welcoming and promising for me. I recently got a call from Trinity Mother Frances in Tyler, TX for the general medical unit and wanted to ask my fellow Texans, who know the area, affordable places to live and where I should be looking. I will be visiting for my interview next month (Aug. 2009) and wanted to look around. Wish me luck everyone... oh and an update on the hospital would be greatly appreciated. :wink2:
I have lived in Tyler in all about five years. I love it.. very beautiful town. ETMC and TMF are both good hospitals. I work at a state psych hospital though. I really enjoy it. South Tyler is definitely the area of town you'd want to live. Lindale is about 30 minutes from the hospital district. Whitehouse more like 15-20 minutes. I know several nurses who live in Flint/Bullard.
Hello Everyone I just wanted to know to the people that did relocate, how the whole process was, I am only applying right now, and I am coming from south Florida, also did you like the hospital?? Thanks! you may PM me if you feel more comfortable :)

I currently live in the south Tyler area. While it is pretty quick to get to the hospitals, if you will be visiting friends/family in the DFW area on a frequent basis, I'd go for Lindale. Traffic in Tyler is hellacious so the commute from Lindale could be challenging (based on time of day), but you may already be used to commuting since you lived in DFW. So maybe that wouldn't bother your DH. Personally I like the quiet time a commute affords.
Anyway, I'm graduating in 3 weeks and have accepted a job at TMF. I really wanted to move back to DFW (I moved to Tyler for school), but that didn't work out. I'll probably try again in a few years.
