I'm from PA, and moved to Milwaukee for a year. Just moved to Chicago one month ago, and found out we are headed to San Antonio very soon.
We have done alot of moving and I just want to be settled. Luckily, dh will be signing at least a 2 year commitment, so we will stay.
I have one year of med/surg and one year of cardiac telemetry experience. I have my ADN.
What can anyone tell me about pay rates, hospitals, area, schools, good areas, ones to avoid,, etc. I have never been to Texas and I am nervous about starting over, ALL over again. Seems from different websites, we can get BEAUTIFUL homes for what we pay for a small ranch 2-3 br here. Is that too good to be true?
Any and all info will be very much appreciated. TIA!!
Welcome to Texas! You'll find Texans very friendly and ready to help in any way they can. You also see you get alot for your money down here. You should be able to get $25-35/hour + tax free pay + bonuses.
Hey there bbuff. I'm glad you're settling in and enjoying it so far. The stone oak area is very nice....lots of traffic on 1604....but still nice. Good luck on the job search! I am an extern at the Main Methodist and I really like it. That would be a longer drive than to North Central Baptist for you though. So many hospitals to choose from around here. Again best of luck and any questions feel free to ask.
1NAmyllion-I would love to work at Methodist one day! What is their pay rate for a GN? I'm trying to get some ideas on nurse pay scales in SA.

OK, I am very curious. This is the 2nd post I've seen you mention "tax free pay" Care to elaborate?
