Hi guys and gals

I'm about to graduate with ADN in December 2005. My wife and I are moving to Reno by the end of december. I was wondering if anyone of you guys are working at Washoe Medical center can give me more information about the hospital as far as the new grad training program is concerns and who should I talk to about the program. Thanks

Yes I ended up working up on the fourth floor CIC. I like it a lot. Can't really say that I LOVE it. I love my preceptors. I've learned a lot from them and will con't to learn a lot more from my peer. I love being on the code team at washoe especially at night time where the nurses, RT and MD really work together during codes.

Thanks for asking

I Know Washoe is a very Busy hospital and that they are expanding, However there is also St Mary's hospital and Nothern Nevada medical centre centre also in Reno. Perhaps you might be interested in applying there also. St Mary's is a really nice hospital.

I know this is a year later since these post's, but I am a new RN and have

applied several times at washoe and NO REPLY, this is very frustrating.

Any advice??

Hi there are PLENTY of jobs for RN's in the RENO area...... Washoe Med just changed names and now is Renown Health Care, same old everything else, big add ons to this medical center. There is also St. Marys Hospital in Reno ( good reputation) and Northern Nevada Med Center in Sparks ( about 5 miles away) Northern Nevada pays very good bonus.... and has great team work on all floors.. No I dont work there, I work at a new medical center in CarsonCity on the medical oncology floor. I do know that RENO is very short of nurses. Oh yeah we also have the VA hospital, good benefits but takes a long time to get hired. (worked there also)...

Hope this helps you........Bellaluna:biggringi
