Registered Nurse Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered nurse in Texas?
You become a registered nurse in Texas by completing an accredited nursing program, either an associate degree in nursing or a bachelor of science in nursing, and then passing the NCLEX-RN exam. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Texas Board of Nursing, which issues and maintains RN licenses in the state. Nurses licensed in other states may apply through the Nurse Licensure Compact if their home state participates.
How much do registered nurses make in Texas?
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 registered nurses in Texas?
Employers hiring registered nurses in Texas right now include Beth Israel Lahey Health, Houston Methodist, and HCA Houston Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems, regional hospital networks, and long-term care providers maintain consistent hiring demand across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most registered nurse jobs?
Houston, Lahey, and San Antonio have the most registered nurse openings in Texas right now. These metros are home to major medical centers, teaching hospitals, and large outpatient networks that drive continuous RN hiring throughout the year.
Are there remote registered nurse jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 6% of Texas registered nurse openings are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, mostly in utilization review, case management, and telehealth roles that don't require bedside care.
How can I get hired as a registered nurse in Texas with little or no experience?
Target hospital new graduate residency programs, which large Texas systems like Baylor Scott & White, Houston Methodist, and CHRISTUS Health run for nurses without professional experience, mostly in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. Med-surg, telemetry, and long-term care units take more new grads than specialty floors, so they're the fastest way in. Having your Texas Board of Nursing license active before you apply puts you ahead of candidates still waiting on credentials.
