What to Know When Pursuing Nursing Jobs in Texas

Curious about your potential patient base? Nearly one quarter of the Texas population is under age 18, and just under 14% is age 65 and older. You must possess excellent cultural competence skills if you hope to succeed in Texas nurse jobs. Just over 17% of residents were born outside of the United States. Around 77% of residents are White, 40% are Hispanic or Latino, 14% are Black, 6% are Asian, and slightly above 2% identify as two or more races. More than 35% of people speak a language other than English at home. If you’re multilingual, include that on your nursing resume.

According to one survey, Texas is home to the second largest LGBTQ+ population in the country — only California’s is larger. However, this number could be undercounted, as people may be afraid to disclose their sexual orientation, especially in more rural parts of Texas. If you have experience working with LGBTQ+ patients, that might be an excellent addition to your resume as well.

Living in Texas

Texas is divided into seven main regions, each of which offers a variety of amenities. For example, in the Prairies and Lakes region, you get a mix of the nightlife and dining scenes in Dallas and Fort Worth, plus charming small towns located further south. True to its name, the Piney Woods region is home to four national forests, sweeping meadows, and Big Thicket National Preserve. The Gulf Coast combines 350 miles of shoreline with the big-city sights of Houston, Galveston, and beyond. You’re all but certain to find a region in Texas that checks all of your boxes.

When you think of Texas traditions, you’ll have to include more than just rodeos and ranchers. Texas is also home to a wide variety of popular events all year long, from Fiesta San Antonio and Viva! El Paso to SXSW in Austin and the state fair in Dallas. On any given week, you can expect celebration of arts and culture, food, sports, and/or music to be happening somewhere in the state.

The annual climate in Texas depends on the region. For instance, temperatures in the north and in the south of the state can vary by as much as 20 degrees during the winter. Summers tend to be hot no matter where you are. If you’re not a fan of snow, good news — it rarely snows in Texas. But get ready for rain, as annual rainfall is around 36 inches.

The cost of living in Texas is nearly 6% lower than the rest of the country, with house and rental prices at 12% and 10% lower, respectively. Another upside: There’s zero income tax.
