Texas licensing
What license a nurse needs here.
Texas is in the Nurse Licensure Compact (since January 2018). A nurse can care for your baby in Texas with a Texas RN or LVN (licensed vocational nurse, what Texas calls an LPN) license, or with a multistate license issued by another compact state. A single-state license from a state outside the compact does not cover Texas.
Nurses here are licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing.
Look up any nurse's license with the Texas Board of Nursing or on Nursys before you hire. Every unlock of a nurse through us includes license verification.

Estimates from our rate guide: US overnight newborn care rates adjusted for each area's prices (BEA Regional Price Parities), with a premium for an RN or LVN license. Newborn care specialists usually ask about a quarter less. Your nurse's own rate is what counts.
Questions families ask
How much does a night nurse cost in Texas?
Nurses set their own rates. Our rate guide puts licensed night nurses in Texas at about $31 to $69 an hour, depending on the area, with Dallas at the top. Through Night Nurse you pay your nurse directly, plus one flat $1,500 placement fee for a licensed nurse.
Can a nurse with a multistate license work in Texas?
Yes, if another compact state issued it. Texas is in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a multistate license from a compact state covers care in Texas. A single-state license from outside the compact does not.
Do I owe my night nurse overtime in Texas?
Possibly. You hire your nurse directly, so your family is the employer. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, a household employee who does not live in your home, paid by the hour, is owed time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek. We found no Texas law that adds to that for household employees, so four 10-hour nights a week stays at 40 hours and a fifth is paid at time and a half. Ask a tax or legal adviser how this applies to your plan.
Does Texas pay parents for leave after a birth?
Texas has no state paid family leave program that pays new parents. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act gives up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to parents who qualify, so many families plan night care around when a partner goes back to work.
