RN with 3 year Med/Tele Exp Relocating to Dallas/ Houston

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm relocating to Texas in the Fall 13/ Spring 14 and wanted to get some info on Tx. First and foremost, I would like to know what neighborhoods are nice for raising a family, as I have 3 small children (6 y/o girl and 5 month old twin boys). Things like great schools, family friendly neighborhoods, low crime rate and easy commute are a must have. I also would like to avoid the real rural areas, as Im from Miami, Fl and don't think I can adjust to that just yet. I would like to also know what areas are popular for the middle class and affluent African American (no racism intended). What are the best hospitals to work for? What is an experienced RN starting pay? Whats the nurse to pt ratio? What is the job market like for exp RN? and How much does a nice 4/3 apt or home go for rent.

FYI, I have already applied for my endorsement, verified my license and is awaiting to get fingerprinted and take the prudence jurisdiction exam.

BTW, I'm leaning more towards the Dallas area over Houston.

Thank you all so very much!!!!

Helli mikie1317, I just applied to every new grad program in the dfw area, and just prayed. I was so lucky to get in my position. Just have a good resume. From my experience, they are not looking for ACLS, you can always get that when u r employed. Just make sure your BLS is current.
