   burntrn08 replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada

   I work at UMC, and I LOVE it. I went to nursing school here in Vegas and did my rotations at many of the hospitals here, I liked UMC the best. I am a new grad and it has been great. I love that UMC is a teaching hospital, there is always someone will...

2. North Vista or Sunrise

   burntrn08 replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada

   I'm in orientation right now for UMC and there are about 6-7 nurses in my orientation group who just left North Vista because they said it was a horrible place for nurses. They were all on either med surg or NICU. They said the management isn't very ...

3. no one will hire me in Las Vegas--what's the deal???

   burntrn08 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada

   I also heard that Centennial Hills was not 100% open. I also heard that they were only hiring nurses who were already working in the Valley System (Valley, Spring Valley, Summerlin, etc). That came from a nurse manager at Valley.....

   burntrn08 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada

   Yes, for new grads they ask for a 2 year commitment to the hospital, but not necessarily to the unit. That is weird about your bad call back experience. It is my understanding that the nurse managers are the ones who call you to schedule the intervie...

6. 3 classes, all requires B

   burntrn08 replied to ghingerz1208's topic in Nevada

   I took A&P 2 and micro at the same time at UNLV, but I did it during the summer, so it was 5 weeks to complete the two classes. It was definitely a rough 5 weeks, but it can be done.

8. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

   burntrn08 replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi! I'm in a direct entry program in Las Vegas, I absolutely love it! It is so much work, but its worth it. I really suggest meeting as much of the faculty as you can, they can make or break your experience. I really lucked out and got some absolutel...

9. MSN RN's in UT

   burntrn08 posted a topic in Utah

   I was wondering what the pay rate and job market is like in UT for new grad RN's with an MSN. I know that most hospitals are IHC hospitals up there, are they a good company to work for? Or is somewhere like the U more desirable?

10. Nurses in Partnership

    burntrn08 replied to maritimegirl's topic in Travel

    How do you go about finding a good travel nurse agency? Are there ones that are better for certain states than others? Are travel nurses the same way agency nurses are treated in the hospitals by the other nurses on the floor? Also, I don't understan...
