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 training program and pass the Texas Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which includes both a written exam and a skills demonstration. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission oversees the Nurse Aide Registry, and your name must appear on that registry before you can work in a certified facility. Programs are offered at community colleges, vocational schools, and some long-term care facilities across the state.
Which companies hire nursing assistants in Texas?
Companies currently hiring nursing assistants in Texas include Three Oaks Hospice, DHR Health, and Avir Health, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's large network of long-term care chains, hospital systems, and Veterans Affairs facilities means consistent demand well beyond the largest names.
Which Texas cities have the most nursing assistant jobs?
San Antonio, Houston, and Fort Worth have the most nursing assistant openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas lead because of their dense concentration of major hospital campuses, long-term care chains, and rehabilitation networks, while San Antonio's large military-connected population and expanding healthcare corridor drive strong demand there as well.
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 the vast majority of roles are fully on-site. About 0% of nursing assistant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those are almost exclusively administrative support or patient-liaison roles rather than 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 completing a short state-approved nurse aide training program, which many long-term care facilities in Texas offer free in exchange for a work commitment after certification. Large employers like CHRISTUS Health and Kindred Healthcare regularly hire newly certified aides for entry-level positions in skilled nursing and rehabilitation units. Candidates with experience as home health aides, patient care technicians, or medical assistants often transition easily, and holding an active listing on the Texas Nurse Aide Registry gives any applicant an immediate edge.
Where can I find and apply to nursing assistant jobs in Texas?
