  1. New Grad Moving Las Vegas

    guest769224 replied to llxzachxll's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Valley Health System owns six hospitals in the valley, and they hire new graduates on a frequent basis even into specialty areas. I think you'll have the best chance if you were to apply with them. If...

  2. "That's a myth about nursing"

    guest769224 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Same. I've seen a lot of commercials recently advertising how needed nurses are in places like Utah and Nevada. And shame on nursing schools for turning away applicants. Nothing could be further from...

  3. Cost vs benefit of BSN at middle age

    guest769224 replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I currently work ICU and ER. Do you think BSN is mandatory about for trauma centers or the big hospitals down there? Such as UCLA, Kaiser, Hoag, etc. Who else is down there that hires ADN? Also,...

  4. Cost vs benefit of BSN at middle age

    guest769224 replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    That's surprising because I thought you were in So. Cal, land of BSN mandatory no exceptions. Apparently there are exceptions! I have desired to apply in that region but thought I'd be automatically...

    guest769224 replied to dawdlingsquid's topic in General Nursing

  8. Transitioning from adults to neonates

    guest769224 replied to Jfrance3's topic in Critical Care

    Stay per diem in adult ICU if you are truly set on anesthesia school. That said, peds and neonates are a dream and appealing units to work

  9. Weird actions that are out of nursing scope

    guest769224 replied to AriRN36's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if this is naive, but what is the rationale behind this statement? I've not heard that before. Is it unique to hip osteoarthritis and similar conditions, or are you saying in

  10. PA CRNA potential student

    guest769224 replied to TreeKitty's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    guest769224 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! Yes, I absolutely LOVE working in the ER. It's such a fast pace and you get to see such a variety. My favorite specialty by far. You should shadow! Consider it. There are lots of procedures, a...

  16. Best hospital in Las Vegas

    guest769224 replied to perkyRN07's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Depends on which specialty you are hired into. They do hire ADN nurses though, FYI. But I know they don't hire new grads often. Maybe you could start with HCA or VHS then transfer. And yes the...

  17. Should I bother applying to CRNA school?

    guest769224 replied to go_jets82's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    guest769224 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    guest769224 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

  21. What is your favorite specialty of nursing? (ER, MedSurg, ICU, Pediatrics, etc.)

    guest769224 replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely disagree. I worked many years in the ICU as a tech and knew it was exactly what I wanted to do once an RN. Working with those nurses and that patient population for so long gave great...

    guest769224 replied to perkyRN07's topic in Nevada Nursing

    guest769224 replied to Intensive Care Murse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Once you have ICU experience on your resume you have a LOT of career opportunities. Even if it's a smaller ICU. For now, I agree with the advice to keep your nursing program grades as high as you...

  24. FGCU CRNA 2019

    guest769224 replied to walkerrn2015's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's WOLFORD, not Wilford. Most schools prefer high acuity, ICU only for experience. This may factor in to your competitiveness. Anesthesia jobs solely caring for lung transplant cases do not...
