There are easily over 65 pad sites in the city of Arlington in neighborhoods, near businesses, and near schools drilling for natural gas. The industrialized city's air quality is soupy. Finally they are putting up air monitors to see what we've been breathing. Lucky for Chesapeake (who has cut production in half to go drill in south Texas) their heaviest drilling toxic emissions activity between 2008-2011 in getting these padsites on line was not studied. If the price of natural gas goes back up, they'll be back with all those 1,000 trucks per well activity. DONTliveINarlingtonIFyouCANhelpIT! Unknown is the pre production emissions at each padsite. These "already approved padsites" can get 2-22 gas wells on some of them. They can drill up to 14 gas wells near the Cowboy Stadium. All the cars in Arlington and the 562 tpy VOC's from the GM plant (which is expanding to make more VOC's). To make things worse, GM has two gas drilling padsites and so does UTArlington. They too have 22 gaswells. NOT an air quality friendly town and the mayor is suppose tp be an MD. Hah!

Arlington is a really nice area to live in. You can check out Arlington Memorial Hospital far as jobs in your field. Also Harris Methodist Hospital which in not too far from Arlington, they are located in Fort Worth and in Hurst. Also other great areas are Hurst, Bedford, Euless, North Richland Hills, and Keller. Keller is really nice, but kinda pricey, depending on your budget.

check the Dallas and Fort Worth forum--Arlington is mid-way between both cities

run a search on either for terms like Arlington, schools, LVN, CNA, traffic, freeways,--anything you want to know and read the threads about those topic

there is plenty posted

frankly "expensive" is different things to different people
you are going to have to be state certified I believe and should run a search for how you go about that process

traffic is bad--especially in Arlington--there is no public transport in any town but Dallas and FTW--
