Hey everyone! I’m a travel nurse looking to plan my next assignment for early 2025 and I’m seriously thinking about Texas, but it’s such a huge state that I’m feeling a bit lost. Has anyone got some recommendations on the best cities for travel nurses? I’m hoping for a place with a decent hospital, fun things to do after shifts, and maybe not a super high cost of living. I had a short contract in Dallas before, but I feel like there are some hidden gems out there. Would love to hear any stories or advice!      

Oh, I totally get where you’re coming from! I went through this myself last year and ended up in Austin for my last assignment. The music scene was amazing, and the food—don’t even get me started! If you’re into a slightly slower pace but still want good amenities, San Antonio is a solid pick too. One thing that helped me narrow things down was looking at current openings on the site, so if you want to see what’s available, you can check out https://tlcnursing.com/search-travel-jobs/search-jobs-in-texas/ It li.sts all the cities and you can get a feel for the pay, requirements, and what’s trending. Hope that helps! If you want tips on housing in any city, just ask.
