Who they are
You are weighing Anchorage Hospice, Inc. in San Antonio, Texas (78230). This is hospice work in a large metro, not a single bedside unit inside one hospital.
More about Anchorage Hospice, Inc
Texas has no state income tax and participates in the nursing compact, which matters if you are moving or already hold a compact license. San Antonio’s overall cost of living sits near 94.7—about five percent under the national price level—but the city sprawls across roughly 460 square miles. Fifteen miles on the map can take well more than twenty minutes in the 7–9 a.m. rush, so where you live relative to your visits counts more than raw distance. Neighborhoods people often mention for a workable mix include Downtown, Monte Vista, Oak Park-Northwood, and Alamo Heights; north-side voices also note thinner bus coverage if you do not drive. We do not yet have pay ranges, ratios, scheduling rules, or nurse-reviewed culture notes tied specifically to Anchorage Hospice. Nearby names in the same market include CHRISTUS Health (our data shows a median around $30/hour), Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, Lifecare Home Health Family, University Health, and Methodist Hospital—useful context if you are comparing options, not a claim about this employer’s package.

The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
