Are there hospitals hiring new RNs in Vegas?

madnurse2b · Sep 12, 2009

I am a new RN. Just wondering if there's a hospital hiring new RNs in Vegas? My friend passed in March unfortunately she's still jobless. Please reply...

The Valley Health System just posted some "entry level" nurse positions - not called new grad but it sure sounded like it. Hope that helps.

I passed nlcex-rn last august. I also live in Vegas but I am an international graduate.I took the California board and i already applied for my reciprocity. I have my temporary license here in Vegas already. I passed my resume only this week. But what makes me upset is that whenever i see the job qualifications they are hiring experienced RNs! What about us entry-level RNs? I also have two friends who passed for 3-5 months now and are still unemployed. :crying2:

Do you think we have chances of getting hired since we don't have work experience as RN?

I badly need to get a job.. :cry:

What about Nursing homes ? Is it hard to find jobs there too ? A friend of mine is considering moving down to the Hendedrson area and looking for jobs in Nursing homes.

Have you been considered for any of the Valley jobs?

RNindmaking · Sep 20, 2009

After i applied online, i received emails saying "We are pleased you would consider joining our dynamic,

entrepreneurial team. Your resume has been forwarded to the

recruiting team assigned to your chosen job. If you are among the

candidates selected to interview, you will be contacted directly by

one of our recruiters regarding the process and timing."

As of now, all i can do is pray pray pray...

I don't know how long should i wait for their call. I just hope they will... :confused: :cry:

What about you? Did you apply at Valley? I hope we can a job soon... It sucks.. So depressing knowing that so many entry level RNs are still jobless.

Hey OP, just wondering how that job search went for you! Did you get a job? I'm looking to move to Nevada when I graduate around next May/June next year but I never realized how horrible the market was for us new grads out there!

I am a new grad as well looking for my first RN position. It is so frustrating. Does anyone know of any agencies that work with new grads for permanent placement? I am sorry to hear that so many of us are going through this situation, I hope something opens up for all of us soon.

if you take some time and go on allnurses.com and start to read threads in other states... you'll find that there are many new grads in many different states that cannot find jobs... no one will hire new grads because no one has the money to train new grads. it costs alot of money to train a nurse. -- lisa ;-)
