You didn't mention travel allowance, insurance, or a completion bonus. Just on the numbers you provided, the PanTravelers calculator shows gross pay at $37.88. Most assignments gross between $40 and $50 using the calculator, so your compensation is well below average (even adding a likely $500 travel allowance would bump to just below the bottom of the normal range).
Extra shifts (disregarding the four hours to get to 40 hours) pay about $46 an hour which is better than a lot of agencies, but not exactly time and a half of your effective base rate of about $35 an hour, which would be around $52 an hour.
I've heard that San Antonio may pay lower than other areas of Texas, but this does seem low. Medsurg? Depending on your housing choices, you may not have a lot of discretionary money left over. Money is not the only consideration in picking an assignment of course.

I got an estimate for a job in San Antonio. Wondered how it sounded:
Hourly: $18
OT: $36
M&I: $35
Housing: $406
Combined hourly: $36.03
Net take home bi-weekly: $2274
Extra shift incentive $125
It's at Methodist Health Systems. Anyone been here?
