There is a clear gap between the supply and the demand for Texas nursing jobs. Like elsewhere, Texas is suffering from a shortage of nurses, to the tune of 70,000 by 2020. The State Legislature is working on a number of bills to improve training capacity so that they can fill many of these Texas nursing jobs. Though the bulk of the nursing jobs in Texas are located in the Dallas and Houston areas, there is a clear need for nurses throughout the State.

A registered nurse (RN) is an individual who has graduated from a diploma school, associate degree or baccalaureate program, licensed to practice nursing. American nurses take a state nursing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, which allows them to practice nursing in their home state, or in other compact states. The Nurse Practice Act of each state governs the scope of practice of registered nurses. Registered nurses oversee patient care performed by a licensed practical nurse, licensed vocational nurse, and nursing assistants. Registered nurses, known as first level nurses in the United Kingdom, must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
