Nursing job outlook for Houston hospitals?

Hello, how’s the job outlook for nursing jobs in Houston ? I tried applying to a few of the Houston Methodist campuses, Baylor and even MD Anderson last year fresh out of nursing school and either got rejected or no reply. I’d like to try again this year as I’m figuring out where to move but Houston is quite challenging to get a job in the Med Center. Are my chances better after getting a year experience ?? I’d like to transition into critical care nursing, so any tips would be awesome. I’m looking into Dallas as well but Houston is much more my tempo. When’s the best time to apply? I aim to move shortly after the summer.
