Las Vegas L&D Salary at different hospitals

Published

Hey everyone,

I am considering moving back to Las Vegas from Los Angeles and was offered a job at UMC for $35/hour which is ~$10 less than I make here. I understand the pension is desirable but am wondering what the rate is at other hospitals in the area. I'm sure a lot of them are on a hiring freeze right now, just like my hospital is, so I thought I would check here.

I have 3 years experience on Labor and Delivery as a BSN RN.

You can expect anything within the Valley Health System (Centennial Hills hospital, Summerlin, valley, etc) to pay around $34-$40/hr roughly. The pension is desirable at UMC, however the culture is not great from what I've heard. I'm not sure if it's because they are/were a union hospital, but most people who have been there a long time slack off work-wise and are not reprimanded. Also, due to its location the patient demographics are not ideal. These are just some things to consider. ICU man is right, st rose/dignity pay the best from what I've heard. HCA hospitals (mtn view, sunrise and southern hills) pay more than Valley Health System hospitals, however their charting system is archaic. Good luck deciding!

Valley Health System doesn't even crack $40/hr for 5 years of experience, let alone 3. Just an FYI.

Also bear in mind that you won't be paying a state income tax here, and housing costs are much less than they are in Los Angeles. That is why so many Californians move here.

I have many coworkers who 'crack' $40 an hour. Just depends on what level you practice at and experience.

I am planning to apply to Nevada. I find that their apartment is very nice compared to California, will use as my primary residence. I am currently working as a Case Manager but working hybrid. 2days onsite, 2days offsite. I have a family here in California to stay for 2days or one night. Any suggestions which hospitals to apply?
