More about working here
Moving here
When a patient needs inpatient care, you transfer them to affiliated St. David's hospitals rather than holding a full admit on site.
Travel nurses
Star Ranch now operates under St. David's HealthCare as St. David's Emergency Center after the May 2025 transition from SignatureCare.
New graduates
You practice emergency nursing in a contained freestanding ED where imaging and lab sit on the same floor as the exam rooms.
The city

More about St Davids Emergency Center StarRanch
You work with board-certified emergency medicine physicians and nurses trained in emergency care. When someone needs inpatient care, you transfer them to an affiliated St. David's hospital rather than keeping a full admit on site. The center moved under St. David's HealthCare after the system acquired the former SignatureCare sites; Star Ranch is the Hutto-area location and has operated as a St. David's Emergency Center since May 1, 2025. David Huffstutler is President and Chief Executive Officer of St. David's HealthCare. Pflugerville sits in the Austin metro as a growing suburb people often pick for space and relative affordability. Texas has no state income tax and participates in the nurse licensure compact, which matters if you are bringing a multistate license with you.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good

- Staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians
- Nurses trained in emergency care

The hard parts
- Not a full inpatient hospital — admits transfer out

- Relatively new under the St. David's name after the 2025 acquisition
- Local guides flag I-35 congestion and limited transit around Pflugerville
What to weigh
