Awesome news! Now, come May, can you put a good word in for me? ;0) Thanks for the update, and very happy that things are working out for you. It's good to see someone happy on these boards - I...
For those that live/have interviewed, etc. in NV, is this article accurate? If so, why don't they recruit more in the Midwest...if they do, I'd be taking them up on their offers for sure......
Thanks for the info pie. Sorry it didn't work out. Do you care to share the name of the facility? I'll be looking in May, and would like to steer well clear of that situation. Thanks
Oh yes, but I'd rather not live in Vegas - maybe find something 30-60 miles out of the city. Anyone have any recommendations? Could I do this kind of commute and work in the city or is traffic just...
After reading these threads, I realize I'm screwed. It seems I won't be able to afford a home in a neighborhood that is safe. My plans were to move there next summer. Oh well, maybe I'll choose...
Congratulations on holding out for the place you wanted to work. Now, in a year's time, make sure you put in a good word for me! Take care and keep us posted after you've
shearernurse - Thanks for posting the information. I wonder if 12 pt's/nurse is common in LV. Any other LV nurses care to share what it's like on their
Dee - thanks for the link and information. I'm 33 and a career-changer as well - I'm actually leaving technology and will be taking a significant pay cut to start at $25/hr if that's the case in LV....

Twinkie - thanks so much for the information. There isn't a doubt in my mind that I'm moving there next year. Good advice about buying at the right time, etc. Believe it or not, I think my company...

Wrong again? I haven't been wrong yet. Have you seen the projected numbers that a partially state run casino would generate for all citizens of MN? The first year alone, well over 200 million -...

A new casino would mean VOLUNTEER taxes, not mandatory (don't choose to go). Simple method really. So instead of raising my property taxes *again* by double digits, open the casinos and let the...

If you want to give all of your money (read: taxes!!!!) to those who don't have any motivation to find a job, by all means, move here! This place caters to those who look for handouts. It's...
Hi srenn - thanks for posting a follow up after your move. Very good information. I am entering my 2nd semester of an ADN program (1 sem down, 3 to go), and I have a few questions, if you don't...
