Anyone working at Washoe Medical Center?

I would try again. You never know what could have happened. Maybe they...
Couldn't understand your number
You forgot to mention your area code
New person accidentally erased instead of hitting play
Recruiter quit
Recruiter is on sick leave


I believe in giving another oppotunity to them. I don't live there, so I don't know the situation. Keep us posted and good luck in your final semester!!!

Human resources at Washoe is a circus and the people working there are all clowns. I applied for a job that was posted, and there was no follow up. I decided to make it my business to call the recruiter twice a week until I learned something concrete... either yes or no. I can't count how many calls I made until I got an interview. After my interview with the nurse manager I was told "welcome aboard!" and assured I had the position. But I never heard another word. The paperwork went back to HR and disappeared into their black hole. Seems they changed managers for that unit (it's a new observation unit and they decided to put it under the ICU manager instead of the ER manager.) No one told her about applicants for her three empty positions. I'm now talking directly with the new manager and together we're cutting HR out of the loop. Every nurse you talk to at Washoe Miracle Center will tell you that you have to stay on these people like ugly on ape or you'll never get hired.

So, short answer is... yes, you can get a job. But you have to push your way through the HR brick wall. Keep calling, keep the pressure on them.

For people moving to Reno... the other hospital in town (St Mary's) is in desperate financial condition. There have been tons of lay offs. People in town are wondering when they'll start eliminating nurse positions.

Good luck. Welcome to Reno. It really is a swell part of the country. Quality of life as good or better than any CA Golden State city but with less taxation and much better government.

You may want to try and contact JoAnn Suneson @ jsuneson@washoehealth.com if you have not already done so. I don't have her direct line.

Current washoe RN new hires start at 23.96 / hr

I do not work there. I am doing my clinical rotation as a nursing student. I will apply as an Apprentice Nurse in march 06.

Is there anyone on this board who works at Washoe Medical Center that can answer jakethai's question?

Just a different perspective with my experience interviewing for washoe medical center. I had an absolute awesome experience and HR was on the ball with everything for me. I live on the Gulf Coast which is quite far and my recruiters did a wonderful job flying me out there, answering all my questions, and setting me up with 2 interviews in positions I have interest in. I met the nurse managers, clinical supervisors, and took a tour of the hospital. They also scheduled a real estate tour for me upon my request and I was able to get a really good look at Reno in all aspects. I was very impressed with Washoe's facilities. I was treated professionally and they were the ones honored to have me there, not the other way around. I had a really nice experience at Washoe Medical.

I was talking to a travel recruiter who is offering jobs at this hospital
