Why Texas Is a Top Destination for ER Travel Nurse Jobs

As a travel nurse, Texas offers a unique mix of high-volume experience and professional growth. The emergency departments in Texas handle more than 9 million visits each year, making them some of the busiest in the nation. With 22 Level I trauma centers and more than 750 hospitals, assignments span everything from trauma and cardiac emergencies to complex case management—ideal for sharpening and expanding your ER skill set.

Even with slightly shorter average ER wait times than the national average, hospitals across Texas continue to face serious staffing challenges. The state currently has a 16.4% RN vacancy rate and is projected to be short more than 57,000 nurses by 2032. For travel nurses, that translates into more opportunities. Emergency Room travel nurse jobs in Texas offer top pay packages, flexible scheduling, and the chance to work in leading high-acuity facilities across major cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
