Nursing Assistant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing assistant in Texas?
To become a nursing assistant in Texas, you must complete a state-approved nurse aide training program and pass the Texas Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which includes a written exam and a skills demonstration. Passing registrants are listed on the Texas Nurse Aide Registry, maintained by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Most programs run four to eight weeks and are offered through community colleges, vocational schools, and some nursing facilities across the state.
How much do nursing assistants make in Texas?
Nursing assistants in Texas earn a median of about $37,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $30,620 for the lowest 10% to over $47,500 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nursing assistants in Texas?
Employers hiring nursing assistants in Texas right now include Baylor Scott & White Health, Houston Methodist, and Baylor College of Medicine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and extensive network of long-term care and rehabilitation facilities drive consistent year-round demand for certified nursing assistants at multiple experience levels.
Which Texas cities have the most nursing assistant jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth have the most nursing assistant openings in Texas right now. Houston leads because of its vast concentration of hospital systems, medical centers, and long-term care facilities, while Dallas and San Antonio generate steady demand through large regional health networks and a growing senior population that sustains continuous staffing needs across skilled nursing and rehabilitation settings.
Are there remote nursing assistant jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Nursing assistant work is fundamentally hands-on and requires direct patient contact, so remote opportunities are limited. About 1% of nursing assistant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those tend to be care coordination or patient navigator roles that share similar titles rather than traditional direct-care positions.
How can I get hired as a nursing assistant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is enrolling in a state-approved Texas nurse aide training program, many of which are offered free or at low cost by large nursing facilities that commit to hiring graduates on completion. Systems like CHRISTUS Health and networks affiliated with Texas community colleges run new-hire pipelines designed for candidates without prior clinical experience. Lateral moves from roles like home health aide, patient transporter, or dietary aide at a hospital or long-term care facility are a common bridge, and holding an active Texas Nurse Aide Registry certification before applying gives candidates a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to nursing assistant jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to nursing assistant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the listings, find roles that match your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
