Who they are
You would be walking into Cook Children's Health Care System in Fort Worth, Texas. The facts on hand do not yet spell out pay bands, ratios, residency structure, or unit-level culture, so those are questions you will want to ask in the interview and on a shadow.

More about Cook Children's Health Care System
What is clear is the setting around the job. Texas charges no state income tax and participates in the nurse licensure compact, which matters if you are relocating or traveling on a compact license. Fort Worth’s cost of living sits only a little above the national level, and people who live here often compare it favorably to pricier nearby metros. You will also share the market with other health employers—JPS Health Network, Medical City Alliance Mental Health, Harmony Health Fort Worth, Kindred Hospital Tarrant County - Fort Worth Southwest, and others—so you are not locked into a single front door if your first unit is not the right fit.
