I am going to start cold calling offices and dropping in. for those have had success finding preceptors in the past, did you take a cover letter, resume, course objectives? gave you give me a example of the cover letter? or if anyone can help me find a preceptor in Northern Nevada that would be great!

you have to print the form, sign it, and then scan it to upload the signed form.

I moved to Reno 9 months ago and like it. I use the Renown system and have had good experiences all around (x-ray, vascular, urgent care, primary care). I work at another facility in town. Even though Reno is known for gambling it is very close to Tahoe and the city is big enough that you dont have to be exposed to the tourist, gambling parts unless you want to. Lots of great restaurants, shopping, etc.

thanks for all the info. just got back from house hunting in Reno. had a couple of interviews, but havent heard anything back yet. keeping my fingers crossed.

chloraprep is used for surgery and can be applied without sterile gloves on. like any skin prep containing alcohol, chloraprep must dry before drapes are applied. where I work now, chloraprep is what most general surgeons use.

how is the required response time if you take call

thanks for the info. I am also looking for a kennel. my dogs will need to be in a kennel for 2 weeks until we can move into our house. any advice on pizza places, mexican, steak, sushi. thanks again

Hi, I'm moving to Reno in Dec 2009 and am looking for info and opinions on best grocery stores in northwest Reno, restaurants, best deals on children's clothes, etc. also looking for a job too if anyone has any leads. thanks

what department will you be working in? if you hear of anything in the operating room, med surg, or emergency room, please let me know. thanks

thanks. feeling a bit anxious about job huntng in December

have you heard anything from Sierra VA? I am moving to the Reno area in December and have thought about applying as I currently work at an Army hospital.

where I work, bunionectomies are done frequently with MAC and a block

a endo tech holds the scope during colonoscopies and EGDs and then cleans the scopes. that is their main duties.

people nurses or techs who try to skate passed the rules. for example "we don't count instruments on open appys here." techs or nurses who flirt almost to the point of offering themselves to the docs or docs who due the same. please, this is a place of work not a singles bar finding out that even though the case cart has been "checked" twice and the tech in room checks everything as he/she is opening, there is still stuff missing. being called in 45 minutes before the surgeon wants to start the case when the tech in house has known for 3 hours about the case. hearing 2 co-workers bash others. if you need to vent, be discrete. griping and complaining loudly in the core is not a good idea

if you are being forced to take comp time for overtime worked, i think that is illegal. i would discuss this with your manager and state that you would like receive $$ from now on. may be this needs to be addressed with human resources. you are being denied fair compensation. it is different if you are offered a choice between comp time and $$.
