Hello Vegas!!
I'm new to this site, but decided to drop a note. I lived and worked as an ER nurse at Mountain View Hospital. Er's all over Vegas are usually at capacity with beds in hallways etc. However, they have a great CEO, Mark Howard, with an open door policy.
Before working at Mountain View, I worked for 1 day! at UMC ER! No training, not even a tour of the department! Where did they put me? TRIAGE!! I worked the day shift and came on at 7 a.m. By 10:00 they had a human resource person come and tell me that there was a mistake and my relocation expenses would not be reimbursed. Then my manager came by and told me that there had been a 'mistake' in my bonus and it would halved from what was agreed on. Then he asked me, "How's your day going?

At noon, the ER education person walked into triage slammed some documents on the counter and said, "Fill these out! And don't expect me to be your f------ babysitter!! At 7pm that night I told them all GOODBYE!!
That's when I was hired my Mountain View. It is busy. There are lots of patients. But I found the people of Vegas to have wonderful, colorful lives, that they would share with me. If you are a new grad, then God love you!! Keep looking for your dream! It's out there.
I had to move back to Colorado when my father and father-in-law were both stricken with terminal illnesses. I also decided to get my BSN while I was at it and I'm coming back to Vegas to work as a case manager. Can anybody give me some advice on the Case managment scene? I know Sunrise has 11 open jobs...that makes me nervous. Kate
