Best hospital in Las Vegas

Published

Hello,I am from NC Raleigh area.I am planning to move to Las Vegas in 2 years time.I would like to hear your thoughts about the nursing work force and options to which is the most nurse friendly Hospital in the area.I have 12 years of nursing experience from

med-surg,telemetry,progressive/intermediate care,Float Pool RN,Hospice and Mental health.I would like to stay at the hospital setting.Thanks a lot.Any comment will be helpful.

Hello, I am currently a nursing student at Roseman University in Henderson, NV. I see there are some experienced nurses in this thread. My question is: what are some tips to land a job (as a new grad/no experience) into the emergency department? I have seen that VHS provides opportunities to hire new grads in different units. But, how about Dignity Health/St Rose? What can I do for this hospital system?
From what I've heard, networking (not a fan of that word) can help the new grad applicant receive an interview. I know a Roseman new grad that was hired into the ED.

To increase your chances of getting a new grad ER position:

Make sure you get your capstone/senior preceptorship in the ER.

Then make a very good impression with the staff and charge nurses.

Try getting an ER tech job if you have your CNA or EMT.

Apply to multiple ER's.

St. Rose will not take any new graduate nurses into the ER.

VHS is your best shot. HCA 2nd best.

Estimated starting wage I think is somewhere around $31/hr.
