Hi stillwater.Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate it! Actually I tried applying online at Mountainview but I had a hard time logging in to their website....I have to check UMC and St.Rose's website.As of now I don't have a Nevada license yet but I can apply for an endorsement as soon as possible.I'll PM you if I have other questions.Thanks a lot!

ok..sure.. i'd like to add also.. and this is just my opinion, if you're med surg or stepdown, mtnview (hca company hospital, eg sunrise,mtnview) isnt the best when it comes to nurse to patient ratio.. but their icu is good.. their computer system is great.. umc has probably the best benefits alongside st rose here in las vegas.. umc is also a good place if youre looking for experience becaue of their level 1 trauma, and high acuity icus.. but the nursing "paperworks" is often a complaint of nurses.. its less high tech on charting,meds,etc compared to other hospitals..

when it comes to salary, valley healthcare system (eg, valley view hospital) is the trendsetter for pay increase here in vegas.. i havent worked in one so i cant tell u more about them.. although i benefit when my hospital up their salary because of them increasing theirs..lol..

umc is not a good choice for salary per se, but has awesome benefits.. although if youre looking for per diem position, they're definitely something to look at.. $43/hr for critical care, $40/hr for stepdowns..
