Answer 1 :
Presby Plano is excellent. My SIL is a head nurse for her department at Baylor Plano and really likes it there as well. The only downside to Plano is very snooty demanding clientele, however in ICU I don't think it would be much of a factor as it is in her department. Stay away from Tenet-owned hospitals, their turnover is high because employee morale is low due to management issues.
Answer 2 :
My sis-in-law works down at Presby Hospital off of Meadow Lane in far North Dallas (which is only 5 or so miles from Plano). She is a Labor & Delivery Nurse, and has been there for pushing 20 yrs now, I bet. I would suggest that you talk with some doctor's offices in the area, and see what the staff says their boss works at and why. They may have some insite as to which hospitals are easier to work with (paperwork and scheduling surgeries). If the same hospital keeps getting repeated with positive claims, then perhaps that is one to look into. Another avenue to entertain is to contact some of the community colleges or universities. If they have a nursing program, then their dean may have some insite as to the way the hospital is managed and open to persons with your background. You might even check into employment with a college or university! The community college I work at has a nursing program, and has positions for instructors come up now & again... Then again, you can always check into working with a group medical practice as their nurse on staff. The smaller group may be more rewarding to you than being lost in a crowd of tons of nurses at a large hospital. Since there are tons of medical facilities in this area, you should have your pick. Best to you! Great career! 062508 5:45

Anyone know of a place in Plano Texas where you can go in and rent a Mac by the minute?
Kinkos used to offer Macs but with their merger with Fedex they nixed the Macs in all locations. I just need to do a little work on a Mac in the Plano, TX area and can't seem to find much Googling. Anyone know of a place?

About What suburbs of dallas are the most "family friendly" areas? Should we avoid certain ones

What suburbs of dallas are the most "family friendly" areas? Should we avoid certain ones?
My boyfriend, our 1 year old, and I are moving to the dallas area at the end of January. My boyfriend is going to be working in Plano, TX. I am looking for work in Dallas... so we want to be somewhere maybe between those. Also, what is the weather like in the area? I am moving from Wisconsin- I am hoping to escape the snow ;o)

Answer 1 :
You will escape the snow for sure! We had a little sleet last night and it was COLD for us (wind chill was in low 20's). You will maybe get snow or ice once or twice a year. The problem then will be all of us who don't know how to drive in that weather. Usually schools and businesses will shut down on those days. He is actually working in a great family area. Anywhere in Plano (especially the further west you get) is great for families. You can also look up in Frisco, Allen or McKinney (all north of Plano) or Richardson (directly south). If you get a job in downtown Dallas there is a train (DART) that will take you right to downtown from Plano. Unfortunately, I would avoid most anything in the Dallas Independent School Districts. There are a few exemplary schools in that school district but they are all in mostly expensive areas.
Answer 2 :
Plano is a good choice for you- there are lots of nice apartments in West Plano near the tollway which can get you go many areas in Dallas quite quickly. Plano and Dallas are next to one another for the most part. Another choice would be East Plano where you could get on the DART rail if you need to.
Answer 3 :
I'm not gonna win "best" answer with this, but as a Dallas native I thought I would throw my hat into the Plano bucket. Very family-friendly, DART access like they said above, and don't forget about the schools. The PISD (Plano Independent School District) has garnered some rich acclaim, especially in their athletics and arts programs. Lots of good restaurants, too. Affordable, chain-type stuff. As to the other half of your question. Anecdotally I would say to avoid Garland. Bless'em, I'm sure it's a great place, but my wife lived in Garland for years and she HATED it. I trust her opinion, so I'd stay away from Garland.

Answer 1 :
Ask this question on the Plano, citydata website. Check if Plano has an online newspaper and go through the rental ads. There are always extended stays if you don't find a place in time, sometimes easier so you can decide on your new neighborhood when you get there to see for yourself.
Answer 2 :

Answer 3 :
It would be hard for you to get a month to month lease, as most property managers or landlords want you locked into a minimum one year lease. You might look into renting in other towns around Plano, like Frisco, Allen, Lewisville, Carrollton, etc as the rents may be lower. Depends on where you want to be in Plano, as it is quite spread out. Again, I don't think any apartment complexes will rent to you on a month to month basis. You could try looking at duplexes. In Frisco you can probably get a 2/2 duplex for $750 per month. You can get lower rent, but the property will probably reflect the price. Try looking or advertising on Craigslist. I get a some of my renters from there. Wish I had something to offer you! (Although I have some 2/2 duplexes, mine are closer to $1000 per month)
