Hi jayj, I did research online and I know a collegue who went to EP and lasted only 6 months there until she broke her contract and left. anyhow, my friend said that its pretty safe...but since its a boarder town (in btw mexico and tx) there some illegal drug dealers passing thru EP to get to the bigger states....but with any big or small city there is going to be some crime...but apparently its relatively safe. As for shopping goes, u can forget that! All they have is a walmart supercenter..oh and a Khols...in terms of fun there is one movie theatre and thats all u have....oh and eating out is your neighbourhood mcdonalds...its a very very small town...and its like 2.5hrs away from the next major city (san antonio)....my collegue are similar in that we are out-doorsy and like our major department stores, and populated cities, with a downtown, coffee shops..etc...so i know i wont last there...however, if your not into that stuff and are a "stay-in" kinda person then perhaps EP wont be as bad, i think its all about adaptability and what you are willing to sacrafice. good luck!

Hi nky30, sorry I dont know anything about who is hiring and who's not in the major cities of texas...i DO know that the boarder-towns are hiring..ie. Eagle pass..maybe look online to each individual hospitals website to see if they are hiring or go thru a recruiting company.

Fathertod: nah...was going to consider MAYBE, but after the research I've done, EP is eliminated...

Hi Fathertod, why in del rio?

Hi HouTX...$24-$25 is not high pay, I know RN's in Cali gets paid $40 to start! But I guess the cost of living is less in Texas compared to Cali....EP should really consider paying more if they want to keep their good RN's....i'm just sayin' ^^

Hi all, can anyone tell me what is the hourly pay for a new grad in texas? and has anyone worked in eagle pass or uvalde texas?
