   Vegas New Grad posted a topic in Nevada

   I don't know too much about Desert Springs Hospital and I was hoping that anyone out there can offer some advice. I'm scheduled to take a 'nursing battery test' next week. I've already done an assessment with Spring Valley and I completely bombed i...

   Vegas New Grad replied to Vegas New Grad's topic in Nevada

   i've heard the same thing and you're right, many nurses who also do this type of work have had some kind of experience. they don't generally hire new grads but i got lucky because the company is in the process of transitioning to have rn's do the pro...

5. finding a nursing job here in las vegas

   Vegas New Grad replied to spongebob6286's topic in Nevada

   I'm only speaking from experience when I say that it is REALLY hard right now to find a job as a new graduate. I graduated in December and still have not found a job (at a hospital). Lucky for me I found one somewhere else but not at a hospital. I...

6. RN Aesthetician - Anyone have any input?

   Vegas New Grad replied to Vegas New Grad's topic in Nevada

   Thanks for your input. I thought about it all weekend and I think I'm gonna do it and just see how it goes from there. In the meantime I'm making sure that everything that I'm gonna be doing at work checks out with the board of nursing - last thing...

7. RN Aesthetician - Anyone have any input?

   Vegas New Grad posted a topic in Nevada

   I've been going around in circles with this for awhile now. Since about the third semester of nursing school I've always been bothered by how emotional I would get after taking care of patients. I know that eventually (hopefully) they get better, bec...

11. Recommended Teachers

    Vegas New Grad replied to joianett's topic in Nevada

    I graduated in December 2008. Hmmm...good teachers?? IMO all of them were great in their own way! If you take their teaching styles personally then your feelings about them will become way more personal than they should really be. Two in 101 - with t...

12. Orientation at CSN

    Vegas New Grad replied to joianett's topic in Nevada

    I think libbyjeanne is talking about the math tests that they give you each semester...you MUST pass these tests to continue on in the program and they consist mostly of calculating medication dosages which in turn consists of a lot of conversion and...

    Hi, I don't have any specific names of apartments that are considered 'family friendly' but from my experience (I've lived here for 8 years and rented 3 different apartments before purchasing my condo) all the apartments I rented were family friendly...

14. What am I doing wrong?? Help!!

    Vegas New Grad replied to Vegas New Grad's topic in Nevada

    Thanks so much for the advice....it makes a lot more sense the way you explained it. I think for that question I selected 'somewhat effective'. I guess I was really trying to put myself in that situation and I kept thinking that I wouldn't run direct...

    Vegas New Grad posted a topic in Nevada

    It's been awhile since I've posted. In the meantime I was consumed with studying for NCLEX and finding a job. The advice I was given by a lot was to 'worry about finding a job when you pass NCLEX'. Well, I passed about a month ago and have been looki...
