Does anyone here work at Sunrise? If so, what is it like? I am relocating next year, and would like to know if the working environment is suitable for someone far away from home? Are there any LTC facilities located around Sunrise? That is the "area" I will be moving to. Thanx...

I have former classmates who work in L&D, and they like it. I got to precept in the NICU, and I loved it! I thought about applying there, but decided to keep working with 'big people' for now.

Hello.

I hope you are well.

I also have an interest in learning about working conditions at Sunrise Hospital. I may have an opportunity to work as a new grad in ICU. I was provided with very positive information, and I have a positive attitude about the prospectus of starting my career as a nurse.

If anyone has any additional information about Sunrise Hospital, I would appreciate it.

I thank you for your consideration.

Sunrise is an HCA facility and is the largest hospital in the state of Nevada. Sunrise has Nevada's only children's hospital and only Gamma Knife. It is a certified stroke center, has a nationally recognized neurosciences institute, and was recently voted one of two best hospitals in the city.

The hospital is an "inner city" hospital, meaning it accepts all types of payment, including Medicaid, so the acuity level is high. Staffing ratio is quite high but nurses work on a team approach.. 12 pts to 1 RN, with one LPN and one CNA reporting to that same RN.

Everyone I work with is quite happy at Sunrise and I've not heard many bad things about the place. I've been there for about 6 months and love my job (I'm a nurse apprentice).

Hope you find what you're looking for!
