8. Reno - Washoe Medical Center?

   mandykatrn replied to mandykatrn's topic in Nevada

   Well, I'm not too surprised you have to pay for the childcare. Honestly, I would expect to. But the way they advertise the on-site child care as one of the perks of working there is VERY misleading. There is a waiting list to get your child in (the y...

12. Does everyone have to start out nights to get into Mother/Baby????

    mandykatrn replied to faithrn2002's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I have definitely found that to be the case. Especially at union-affiliated hospitals, because they go by seniority when filling open positions. Since days tends to be the most desired shift, those RNs that have "done their time" doing nights wi...

    mandykatrn replied to surgeryrn's topic in NCLEX

    Thank you surgeryrn. I felt like my mom was there in spirit. When I told my dad that I passed, I burst into tears saying I wish mom knew - and he said, "she knows." It made me feel better. I'm going to work in labor & delivery. First I have to mo...
