New traveler. Las Vegas?

I'm not sure area you will be working on...but everyone is right. In San Antonio,Tx... one of the HCA hospitals..hired an agency nurse for 50.00/hr. Now that is pretty good.

I have done alittle searching and reading about traveling RN's. I think I am ready to do some traveling. I have worked in the OR circulating and spent some time as a perioperatvie educator for a pedi OR and a general/Transplant hospital. Love working in the OR!!!

Good luck new traveler in Las Vegas!

Cheap pay.

If your talking about Vegas, it's Summerlin. It's the name of a community (nice one too) and they have a hospital. From what I hear, it's one of the more expensive ones too. I'm still a NS, but from what I hear I should start out over $25 as hospital staff (RN).
You'll have lots of fun finding housing for that price. It will be out there, but not much left over, if any, for utilities, etc.

Good luck to you!

Sunrise Hospital is the largest hospital in the state of Nevada. It is an HCA facility and is home to the state's only dedicated children's hospital. Sunrise has a level II trauma center, but is a level I center in all respects but the academics (no interns). The acuity level of the hospital runs about 1.8. A nice plus for floor nurses includes a PC in each patient room for electronic charting. You can see more information about Sunrise at the following link: http://www.sunrisehospital.com/cpm/Splash2.htm
By the way, I am a NAP at Sunrise and will graduate next May.

Mountain View hospital is another HCA facility in northwest Las Vegas. This modern hospital is only a few years old and quite innovative. Although I have not worked in this facility, my husband was a patient there and received outstanding treatment! You can see more info about that facility at: http://www.mountainview-hospital.com/
