Hi everyone, I just graduated from an ADN program in Sacramento, CA on May 23rd. My hubby was restationed here several months ago. So, here I am too. I am awaiting notification from the CA BRN to take my NCLEX there and then become endorsed here. In the meantime, I know absolutely nothing about the job market in San Antonio. My favorite area of interest in school was the ICU. It was awesome and I did an extra rotation to get more experience. Are there any hospitals that take entry level ICU nurses? Which hospitals have a reputation for a learning friendly environment? Looking at the staffing and salary differences between CA and TX, I don't care about the $. I want to work in a caring, learning-friendly environment that I can plan on staying with for a long time. I am also wanting to continue my education. Any info about the UTSA program or others would be good. I read the sticky note about not slandering any institutions. So, if you would like to contact me outside the forum, that is very welcome. BTW, I was telling my hubby today that I will need to practice fitting in here since everyone is so much nicer than I am used to. Thanks for your help, Stephanie
