Hi all! I just accepted a new contract in Texas and now the housing search begins, which is honestly the most stressful part for me. Last time I did a travel assignment, my housing situation turned into a nightmare—bad landlord, noisy neighbors, the works. Does anyone have tips for finding decent short-term housing in Texas? I'd love to avoid making the same mistakes again, so any advice or resources would be super appreciated.
I totally hear you, housing can really make or break an assignment. What worked best for me last time was joining a couple of Facebook groups specifically for travel nurses and checking out reviews on furnishedfinder, but honestly, I found the most up-to-date and safe listings on the Read more (https://tlcnursing.com/search-travel-jobs/search-jobs-in-texas/). They sometimes even have leads on apartments or short-term rentals that have been vetted by other nurses. My last place in Houston I found through a referral on that list, and it was a life-saver—good area, flexible lease, all utilities included. Just make sure you ask about noise, laundry, and commute times before signing. Good luck, and happy moving!
