My mom works at sunrise and she has had experience on med surg. I emailed her the question and she will answer. Good luck!
Ok, here is her answer:
SUNRISE HOSPITAL IS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD FROM RJ NEWSPAPER EACH YEAR FOR BEST HOSPITAL.. SUNRISE IS THE LARGEST HOSPITAL IN NV. & DOES THE MOST PROCEDURES WEBSITES: SUNRISE HOSPITAL.COM ALSO STROSEHOSPITAL.COM. (OTHER AREA HOSPITALS ARE VALLEY,NORTH VISTA & UMC.THEY PROBABLY HAVE WEBSITES AS WELL) MOST HOSPITALS HAVE SIGN ON BONUSES & RELOCATION ALLOWANCES. SOMETIMES THEY WILL PAY OFF YOUR STUDENT LOANS AS AN INCENTIVE. SUNRISE OFFERS TUITION REIMBURSEMENT. A NURSE THAT I WORK WITH JUST GOT HER MASTERS & THAT WAS PAID FOR BY SUNRISE.AS AN RN FOR 37 YEARS LAST YEAR I MADE $62,372.13. PT/NURSE RATIO : MED SURG TELE= 7 PTS. ON DAY SHIFT,12 PTS. NIGHT SHIFT. ICU 1-2 PTS. MIU MAX PTS.= 10 (5 MOMS, 5 BABIES) BOTH SHIFTS STAFFED THE SAME. PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES IN EVERY SPECIALTY !! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU! NEVADA HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME SINCE MOVING HERE IN 1993 .
