Experience has taught me that pride comes before a fall. Never praise yourself. Let others praise you.

I'm glad you are enjoying your relocation to Katy. I've also been thinking of relocating from Missouri to Houston and to Katy in particular. I have neen a med/surg nurse for 2 yrs now. I know you are still new but I would like help in: 1.How is housing in the Katy area ? 2.What would be the approximate pay for an R.N with 2yrs exp. ? 3.How is the cost of living ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot for this information. I happened to be reading posts on Texas and stumbled upon this "notorious" Group One background agency. I have no issues with my background but i found this Group One to be scaring. Does Houston hospitals participate in Group One ? I hope not !

Thanks alot for this info. It's surely very helpful and i believe it would be very hard to get similar info. anywhere else. I'm also kind of eliminating Missouri City from my list and therefore appear to be zeroing in on the other three. I thought I could find a decent 4-bedroom house in the Woodlands but probably this area might be out of reach for an RN. I'm therefore leaning towards Katy especially coz of the good schools as rbezemek mentioned. Anyone knows the nurse- patient ratio on a med/ surge floor in Katy Hospitals or even Sugarland ?

Im an Rn in Missouri planning to move to the Houston burbs in the Summer. I'm currently thinking of living in either Sugarland , Katy or Woodlands. I'm also considering Missouri city. I'm married with school age kids. Could any one give me a better idea of which of the aforementioned burbs would be the best to raise a family- low crime and cosmopolitan ? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A pay of $27 in NM sounds good to me considering the low COL down there !
