The top four facilities in the Austin metro area are Seton Medical Center Austin, Seton Northwest Hospital, the University Medical Center Brackenridge and the Seton Medical Center Williamson. These four facilities were named the region&#8217;s best locations for residents in the Austin area by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seton.net\/about_seton\/us_news_and_world_report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. News and World Report&#8217;s list of Best Hospitals for 2013-14<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Austin has also been named on Forbes\u2019 annual list of America\u2019s Fastest Growing Cities. A growing city means a high demand for healthcare professionals. Texas has been known to fall victim to nurse shortages, so finding a job in this area may be easier than other cities. Some may consider moving to Austin for only a short-term stay since the cost of living is approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/places\/tx\/austin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10% higher than the national average<\/a>.
