salary

Hi,

I agree with Nurse Nevada, the pay here for nurses stink. I come from MA where the cost of living is high and they don't call it taxachusetts for nothing. The housing is low, where do you live? Do you own? Its on the news how the house prices are going up and up, cost of living is going up and up and the pays aren't. Not just for nurses but for everyone. The days of low cost living in Las Vegas are over.

Don't get me started on how horrible the majority of places treat all the nurses RN's or LPN's (in my opinion they treat the RN's horrible).Now I know nurses are treated badly everywhere but its ridiculous here. Toanyone coming from the east coast just please think what you want of this post but remember it and come talk to me after you have been here for 6 months.

I did here St. Rose is a wonderful place to work, but they are in Henderson.Depending on where you will live and what you are used to, could be a long commute.

Thanks Cheryl

I am a new grad in Toronto. St. Rose came to our job fair last year. Is there another medical facility you would recommend that I should take a took at. I am a little confused with the medical centers.

I can understand why a new grad would be interested in moving to Nevada, especially a young, single grad, but for the experienced nurse, the salaries are not that attractive, as I have been told. I understand HCA is a large provider of care there, so that may well be one of the reasons salary is not better.

Nurses can be overworked anywhere. They can be underappreciated anywhere. The sign on bonus offered by some of these places sounds good but in reality, after taxes, it is not too great. I have read where schools, especially in the Vegas area are not too good. I know that depends on where a person originated and their expectations, but all things considered, I would not want to move hundreds of miles, go to an area that has some major issues, and work like a dog for pay and benefits I could get closer to my original home. Just MHO.

Hi to all Nevada nurses-I am moving next summer to Las Vegas-my fiance is living there now and we live only 1 block from Mountain View-I am going to try and get work there-just in the process of doing the paperwork and fingerprinting for a NV RN license. Any info about Mountain View from anyone??? Any other info I need to know about life there-I am from North Dakota and it will be very different but I travel there every month and love it-can't wait!
