Sunrise Hospital good? Bad?

Hi,

welcome to all nurses. Cant help with the hospital but you only need to post one thread it will eventually get seen and answered.

I worked at Sunrise from 91-92 and loved it. The CNO's name is Dee (and I can't remember her last name. She was the nursing supervisor there when I worked there and she truly is a wonderful person. I know that gang violence has escalated (and it was pretty bad when I lived there) and I know the town is growing too rapidly for the infrastructure to keep up - so that is something to consider also. Good luck.

We all have blips but at least you got an answer. Take care

I plan on relocating to NV when I pass NCLEX. I have also considered Sunrise. I will be staying with family, and this hospital is very close to where I will be staying. That is a major factor for me. I am from a very small town in NC, so I feel more comfortable being close to work while I learn my way around Las Vegas. The nurse recruiter's name is Wendy Henriques, she has been very helpful. Good luck!

I worked there for 2 years and it nearly put me off nursing all together, I dont recommend it

medical and surgical nursing, they have a scheme called partnership in care 12 pts to 1 Rn with a LPN and ! CNA. It was horrible, just does not work. The Rn has to do all the assessment s, documentation and be responsible for the 12. You rarely got breaks, union very militant and agressive, not really supportive. you were worked like a dog. Staff not team orientated, went off sick at the drop of a hat, nurses would stab you in the back, lots of travel nurses. No support from upper management
