Is your Humble offer good?

Job boards show one weekly number. What matters is the split: tax-free stipends can't exceed the GSA ceiling for Houston, and the rest is taxable pay. Example: a $2,600/week package with both stipends at the max is $1,491 tax-free and $1,109 taxable, about $31/hour over 36 hours.

Aim for $2,400–$3,250/month in rent (60–80% of the ceiling). Landlords often price right up to the ceiling; with a stipend at the max, staying in that range keeps about $784–$1,634 a month for you.
Median 1-bedroom rent in Humble: $1,186/month across all renters. New furnished short-term leases cost more, sometimes far more in tight markets, so check listings near the hospital before you accept.
