Aspen Hospice and Palliative Care

Texas has no state income tax and belongs to the nurse licensure compact, so a multistate license travels with you. Many healthcare workers choose neighborhoods such as Teravista, Forest Creek, Paloma Lake, Siena, or Cat Hollow, balancing schools, rent or mortgage, and the daily drive. One concrete tradeoff locals name out loud: if your errands or family pull you into central Austin, I-35 commonly costs 45 to 60 minutes each way. That adds up to hundreds of hours a year unless you shape your schedule around the traffic.
