Katy is nice but would be a pain and half to get to the Medical Center. Sugar Land is good for families, has 3 or 4 large hospitals as well as smaller surgical hospitals, countless free standing ERs / Urgent Care and has access to Hwy 90A to Medical Center. Richmond is right next to SL and would also be a good option.

I'm surprised to hear this, the market must be saturated. Wasn't to long ago when it didn't matter if you were doing bedside nursing.

In my experience spent working for 12 years in Healthcare HR, this has always waxed and waned. In times when there is a nursing shortage (or in smaller markets), they are happy to take ADN's. However, when the market is saturated, or in a market with large teaching hospitals, hospitals with magnet designation etc, they want BSN's.

I personally think the days of Associate's degrees for most health providers are long gone. A younger person coming out today would be really limiting themselves getting anything less than a Bachelor's, not just in nursing, but in most of the Ancillary services as well.

Having said that, people with an ADN or a certificate like LPN etc can get into bridge or accelerated BSN programs.
