Emergency Department Registered Nurse Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a emergency department registered nurse in Texas?

To become an emergency department registered nurse in Texas, you must earn an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from an accredited program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain an active RN license through the Texas Board of Nursing. Texas participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so compact-state license holders may practice without a separate Texas license. Most ED positions also require BLS and ACLS certification before your start date.

How much do emergency department registered nurses make in Texas?

Emergency department registered nurses in Texas earn a median of about $95,970 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,120 for the lowest 10% to over $127,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire emergency department registered nurses in Texas?

Employers hiring emergency department registered nurses in Texas right now include Baylor Scott & White Health, Houston Methodist, and Memorial Hermann Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems operate dozens of emergency departments across the state, making them among the most consistent sources of full-time and per-diem openings year-round.

Which Texas cities have the most emergency department registered nurse jobs?

The most emergency department registered nurse openings in Texas are concentrated in Houston, Austin, and Rowlett. Houston's position as the state's largest metro, home to the Texas Medical Center and multiple major health systems, drives the highest volume, while Dallas and San Antonio generate consistent demand through their own network of trauma centers, community hospitals, and regional health system campuses serving large and fast-growing populations.

Are there remote emergency department registered nurse jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. Emergency department nursing is fundamentally a hands-on, bedside role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site presence in a clinical setting. About 0% of emergency department registered nurse openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those that do exist tend to involve triage-by-phone, telehealth triage coordination, or utilization review functions that draw on ED clinical expertise.

How can I get hired as a emergency department registered nurse in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic path for a new-grad or career-changer is applying to a structured nurse residency program. Baylor Scott and White Health, HCA Houston Healthcare, and CHRISTUS Health all run accredited new-graduate residency programs that include supervised ED rotations and are designed for nurses without prior emergency experience. Candidates with backgrounds in medical-surgical nursing, step-down units, or urgent care are especially competitive for these tracks. Earning your BLS and ACLS certifications before applying and pursuing the Trauma Nursing Core Course gives your application a measurable edge.

Where can I find and apply to emergency department registered nurse jobs in Texas?
