But you can't take Texas out of the Girl.

so here's my situation. I'm a native Taxan living for the last 11 years in California. I recently finished nursing school and am dying to go back home. So, does anyone know what starting pay for a new grad is in San Antonio, Austin or Dallas. My family and I (hubby and 2 rug-rats) are ready to try something new and moving back to texas sound great.

Any info would be great, Thanks

In houston and ADN graduate starts around $23 -I don't know the difference for BSN or differentials. I know the feeling about wanting to come back. I left for a year and came back! There is no place like Texas!:redpinkhe

In DFW, the starting pay rates for new grad RNs are at about $23 in major hospitals, not including shift differential for working evenings or weekends. For smaller skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes, the new grad pay rate bumps up to $25 to $27 per hour.

If I remember correctly, these are the starting pays in the the D/FW area....ADN or BSN. I don't think there's an hourly difference, but some hospitals may give more for a BSN.

Of course these are base pays....differentials vary among the hospitals as well.

UTSW (Zale Lipshy and St. Paul) - $23

Baylor in the Dallas area - $21

HCA facilities - $22.85

Methodist facilities $21.00-22.00-ish (Can't remember this one exactly.)

Parkland (Dallas county hospital) - $23.88

I'm not sure about Children's, THR, Harris, JPS (Tarrant county hospital), so there's more to look into.

I recently interviewed with a hca hospital in Houston and was offered 23.26 an hour.I was told that it was an evening(3-11pm) shift differential but wasn't told the amount. Does anyone know the shift differential for an evening shift at hca hospital?

Thanks
