About the employer
That is the solid ground we have: a named campus in a specific town north of Houston, not a stack of unit stories or posted pay bands. If you already want this part of Texas, you can line this campus…
On your path
Cardiac is a specialty you move into. Start on tele or stepdown; cath lab and CVICU usually come later.
