About Dallas

Nurses and allied health professionals looking for the best healthcare employers in Dallas,  Texas, have numerous job opportunities in The Lone Star State. According to the Texas Hospital Association, Dallas has 28 hospitals, not including those found in nearby suburbs. Local hospitals include everything from traditional medical centers like Parkland Hospital and Medical City Dallas Hospital to children’s hospitals and specialty hospitals.

Texas ranks second behind California for the highest employment of registered nurses and all healthcare practitioners and technical occupations combined, according to the May 2021 data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro ranked sixth among all metro areas for the highest level of RN employment, with nearly 63,000 nurses employed, and fifth for all healthcare practitioners and technical occupations, with almost 189,000 medical professionals employed.

Often referred to as Big D by locals, Dallas offers big-city excitement combined with an affordability you don’t always get in metro areas of similar size. Music lovers usually find an array of live music nearly every night of the week, shopaholics frequent trendy stores and some of the best parks are generally within walking distance. Sports fans love rooting for professional teams like the Cowboys, Stars and Mavericks, and healthcare workers with children enjoy their choice of top schools and numerous kid-friendly attractions in and around the city.

Although nursing jobs in Dallas and allied health jobs in Dallas tend to pay less compared to some metro areas, Texas is one of nine states that doesn’t collect state income taxes, allowing healthcare workers to pocket more of their paychecks. However, the state does have some of the highest property taxes nationwide to recoup losses in income taxes. Luckily, Dallas is a relatively affordable city, with a cost of living that mirrors the national average and housing costs about 11% lower than the nationwide average.

Staff professionals in Dallas earned more compared to the state average, but travelers didn’t, according to Vivian’s salary data collected at the end of 2022. Staff RNs in Dallas earned $36.89 hourly, 3% higher than the state average, and staff allied health workers earned $28.13 per hour, 1% higher than Texas’ average. Travel RNs in Dallas earned $2,033 weekly, about 7% less than the state average, and traveling allied health professionals earned $2,030 weekly, 3% lower than Texas’ average. However, travel wages tend to fluctuate weekly and could be higher the following week.

Choosing the best healthcare employers in Dallas is easier with help from Vivian Health. We advocate for all healthcare professionals and post 1,000s of jobs for nurses and allied health workers from top staffing agencies, health systems and hospitals.
