Hello, I am a Canadian RN who is seeking work in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am currently living in SLC, as my husband is working here and I came down initially as his dependant. I have discovered that in order to get a license in Utah, I need to purchase 3 items from CGFNS that all seem to do essentially the same thing - evaluate my education and verify my credentials. I have had to order the Visascreen, Credential Evaluations Service, and the Certification Program through CGFNS, costing me nearly $1350 USD. Additionally, despite having already written and passed the NCLEX-RN, I now need to write the CGFNS qualifying exam, which is meant to be a predictor of how I will do on the NCLEX (even though I have already passed it!). In Canada, we now write the EXACT same NCLEX as US nurses. Has anybody else gone through this process? I would really appreciate any advice!

There are many posts about pay in Utah, but not everything is older and not much about experienced nurses... My husband and I are considering moving home to Salt Lake City to help his mom who has had some financial and health problems lately. We currently live in San Diego. I KNOW I am going to take a pay cut, but would like an idea of how significant it is going to be. I have been a nurse for 6 years and an ICU nurse for 5 at a large private hospital. Currently making about 42/Hr. Also, I am not interested in working nights. Do any hospitals in Slc hire directly to day shift? Or could I work float pool to avoid nights? I would also consider doing Cath lab/IR/PACU if necessary. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I will be graduating in December with an ADN-RN and I am considering re-locating to the Salt Lake area from the D/FW area. From what I've read the job market looks tough there. Is is a longshot for me to get hired, being an out-of-state new grad with no prior work history in healthcare? BTW, I plan to apply for a BSN bridge program there locally and getting ACLS certified. Thanks!

I am currently in the process of applying for Nursing programs. I am not in any hurry to finish a program because I will need to be working while in school (to maintain healthcare benefits). I am ready to apply with all my prereq's completed. I may want to do SLCC's RN program, but I am interested in looking into other options such as Ogden Weber Applied Tech LPN program or Davis Applied Tech LPN program, then completed my RN afterwards. Can anyone who has been through either of these LPN programs give me an insight to what the program is like? I have heard from someone that one of these LPN program's is mostly online (except for clinical's). Is this true? Thanks!

I'm new so I apologize in advance, if this is in the wrong place or repetitive... I am looking for some info on Ameritech in Draper. Can anyone give me some UPDATED feedback & tell me what I need to start. I see some places require a Cna, does ameritech? And anyone know their night classes schedules. Tia!

Hey, after careful research and taking everything into consideration I wanted in an online BSN program I decided to attend Ameritech's online RN BSN completion program. I start May 7th 2018. I am starting this thread for anyone who may want to know how the program is, just in case they were curious or were deciding to enroll in the future. I will come back and post as much as I can and as much I can remember to this thread just to keep it updated. I was able to transfer in 3 of the 4 gen ed course they require, so the only gen ed course I have to take is Stats. the rest will be nursing courses. all together I have to take 10 courses. I would scheduled to take 2 classes at a time, and would have been done Feb 2019. but decided to take my first class, (stats) and my last class (capstone) by themselves. so I am scheduled to complete the program in April 2019. a little less than 1 year. After graduating from the program I will be eligible to board certification to be recognized as a holistic nurse, either the HN-BC or the HNB-BC. both of these examinations are nationally accredited and ANCC magnet recognized. I do know the Assc degree program at this school is very expensive, but the BSN online program seems to be around the same pricing as a lot of other online programs (with the exception of WGU and Capella FlexPath). but pricing really depends on how many of the 4 gen ed courses you can transfer into the program. Either way I am happy with my choice and decision. Please feel free to ask questions.

Hi there, I'm taking my NCLEX next week and wanted to know how long it took for DOPL to upload my license number on their website as proof that I passed? This is the website I've gone to that I am assuming they'll upload the results to: https://secure.utah.gov/llv/search/index.html Also, do you guys happen to know of any other "clever" ways to find out if you passed in Utah? I know in other states there are some ways, but I'm not completely familiar with Utah just yet. I'm just really impatient/excited to see if I passed. I also cannot start my new job until I have passed, so I'm really eager to not be poor anymore haha Thanks so much in advance!

hey guys, so i got an email with the subject, "University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics Critical Care Internship Invitation." In it, i was invited to complete a "Montage View" and i just wanted to know what the heck this is! It sounds like an online one-way interview where they ask questions and I respond with either "video, audio, or written responses." I was told that if i was considered for a position, i would get a Reference-Check email (which I did) but I also go this email from the Recruiter himself (it is just a generalized email that was clearly not written 'just for me' but i had the ability to directly email him back as opposed to the "do not reply" message I got from the Reference-Check email). Is this a new thing they just started? Has anyone done this before? What kinds of questions are asked? is it normal to get this invitation along with the reference-check? Can you re-do a video or audio recording before actually submitting it?

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows what it's like to work at a Mormon/LDS hospital when you do NOT practice that religion? Does this hospital practice the religion in their facility or is it just named the LDS Hospital since Intermountain bought it while it was a church? Is this hospital any different because of it being LDS? (For example, if there's a Catholic hospital that doesn't do abortions and if I were Pro-Choice, then me working there would be a problem) I definitely don't have a problem with people of LDS faith, but I am Christian and don't want there to be any "incongruence" with my religion and my practice. Basically, I don't want to inadvertently "support" or "take part in" something in the healthcare field I would be uncomfortable with later. Thank you! p.s. I really hope this doesn't offend anyone. That is not my intention in the slightest. I just want to make sure I can give the best care possible to all patients without compromising my own morals & values

Hi there, So I was wondering how long it took Utah to give you the Approval to Test (ATT) from the time you turned in your application? Same thing for endorsement (since the process and application packet is nearly the same)...how long after you turned in your application for endorsement did it take for Utah to give you your new license? I spoke with several people from Utah's BON and they told me they are quick about it and that it typically only takes 1-2 weeks. But this just sounds a little fishy to me and I really want to make sure I'm not waiting more than a month to get my ATT. So I would just like some personal experience on how long it took people (in regards to specifically Utah). Thanks! :)

I know there are already topics on this but the old thread is old so I thought I would throw this out there so there is an updated thread. Anywho, I was just speaking to a new grad nurse who recently got a job within an IHC hospital. They only started her out as a new grad at $19.00!!! So, I want to know if anyone can confirm that this is what IHC is starting new grads at. Previous threads are showing $21-$22 per hour for IHC so I was shocked and appalled to find out that she only started at $19. If anyone can let me know if they know for sure what they are starting new grads out at here in Utah please let me know. If this is the case I am moving out of state. That is horrible pay. I know there may be people that will tell me to be grateful for it but with all we have to go through just to finish school I think we deserve a lot better. Especially when we have a ton of student loans to pay for when there done. Thanks!

I don't have a previous degree but next semester (spring) I will have my Associates of science (once i finish my QL credit). I am applying to WSU, MATC, OWATC, and DATC. I need to know what my chances are..? Anyone who has gotten into any of these programs if you could provide me with some admissions info like what your GPA was and how many times you applied it would help immensely! Oh and I applied to DATC this past cycle and got turned down (not a huge surprise to me!) I'm open to any advice as well :) Thanks guys My ultimate goal is to be a CRNA and I know I am going to have to relocate which I am okay with! Just can't wait to get in a program and get the ball rolling.

I saw that someone asked this a while back but nobody replied to it. Does anyone know anything about Pioneer Valley Hospital? Or IASIS healthcare in general? Are their nurse wages better than IHC or Mountain Star? Do they offer good benefits? Would you work with them over the other hospitals?

Hi, I'm currently waiting to hear back from the nursing program I applied to so I may be jumping ahead a little bit but I want to know going in. I currently work in a hospital and lately I have been speaking to RNs who have graduated in the last few years. People are telling me that it took them anywhere from 8 months to a year to find a job here in Utah. Does that sound accurate? Any experience or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated. :) Oh and I would be graduating with my BS in nursing. I've been told this can make a difference when applying for jobs?

Hello Utah RNs! My husband and I are thinking about relocating to the SLC area from Maryland. I was wondering how the job market is for nurses there, as well as the average salary. I don't really know anyone out there so I would really appreciate your input. I saw some older posts on this topics but no one has really commented on them recently, so I thought I would put another request out there. :-) Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I am moving to California from Utah and don't know what steps to take first. I have 1 year of experience. Should I apply for a job without having a California license? I'd like to remain working until I can find a new job, Can I hold 2 licenses at the same time? Also, How do I interview without actually living there? If anyone has any advice or has done this before, I'd appreciate the help!

Spring 2013 is the first cohort for applicants accepted under SLCC's new competitive entry process! Did you get accepted (or not)? What was your GPA? Hesi A2 scores? Did you have points in other areas (additional classes completed, CNA experience, etc)? Share your experience in the application process here. Because the change to the competitive entry process is so new, there's no historical data for other pre-nursing students to figure out how likely they are to be admitted. Share a little, learn a little, maybe meet some of your upcoming cohort!
