Nursing Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nursing in Texas?

To work as a registered nurse in Texas, you must graduate from an accredited nursing program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain licensure through the Texas Board of Nursing. Texas is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so nurses licensed in another compact state may practice in Texas without a separate Texas license. Licensed Vocational Nurses follow the same path through the Texas Board of Nursing using the NCLEX-PN.

How much do nursings make in Texas?

Nursings 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 nursings in Texas?

Employers hiring nursings in Texas right now include Three Oaks Hospice, Avir Health, and CHRISTUS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's concentration of large integrated health systems, academic medical centers, and regional hospital networks means consistent openings are available across the state year-round.

Which Texas cities have the most nursing jobs?

Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas have the most nursing openings in Texas. Houston's scale as a national medical hub, anchored by the Texas Medical Center, drives the largest share of postings, while Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio reflect the density of major health systems and rapid population growth that keeps clinical staffing needs high across both metro areas.

Are there remote nursing jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. About 10% of nursing openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, because most nursing roles require direct patient care in a clinical setting. The positions most likely to allow remote work are telephone triage nursing, case management, utilization review, and insurance or managed care roles where clinical judgment is applied without bedside responsibilities.

How can I get hired as a nursing in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a new graduate nurse residency program, which large Texas employers such as HCA Healthcare, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Texas Children's Hospital run specifically for candidates who have just completed licensure. These structured programs place new nurses in supervised clinical rotations and count as your first professional experience. Candidates coming from certified nursing assistant or patient care technician roles have a clear lateral entry point, and holding an active Texas Board of Nursing license before applying makes a meaningful difference in competitive applicant pools.

Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in Texas?
