In Texas, the cost of living is low, but nurses are still well-paid. LPNs can earn an average of $40,000 per year to start. RNs in metropolitan areas can make around $67,000. Because there are so many vacancies, you will likely be offered a hiring bonus, especially if you speak Spanish or are willing to relocate.

Texas is as diverse as it is big. From Southwestern style to Mexican flavor, Texas has it all. With 25 metropolitan areas, you will find it hard to decide where you will be going to nursing school in Texas. Houston, Dallas, and Austin all offer plenty of activities, culture, and sports, while San Antonio takes a slower approach to life with the San Antonio River meandering through its Spanish-style architecture. Because Texas is so huge, the weather varies significantly, but the panhandle has colder winters, and the south has hotter summers.
