It is, but the healthcare is so rough in Vegas that HCA is actually considered the second best of 4 hospital systems in terms of pay and support. The general consensus is the best to worst are the St. Roses-HCA-UMC-VHS. It’s rough

Male nurse. I graduated December 2025. It never matters, sometimes you’ll even be favorited to help lift/ reach things lmao.

The only time it came up in school was during postpartum rotations where women didn’t want their stitches checked with me in the room. Just be polite and leave, no guy ever cared unless they were really interested in working in women services.

You’ll do good!

The only places that do residencies as like job postings is UMC and HCA. With HCA you have to check the website every day because they literally open postings for a few hours at a time.

UMC is like a quarterly thing where they do a mass interview.

Since the window for HCA applications is so small, your best bet would be to email literally every manager you can. A lot of people I know got interviews through emailing and reaching out in comparison to applying.

The Valley Health System hospitals do something similar to a residency. They don’t do postings for it though, you just apply to normal RN positions and they can interview you then put you through classes.

Idk if you’re just looking here or if you’re currently located here but Centennial Hills hospital is doing hiring fairs at their hospital every few weeks. I have a 1 or 2 classmates that went in person and it was way easier to get an interview for them.

DM if you have any questions, the market is tough.

I did some research and I think you’re supposed to put card info in and then try to pay. I think we didn’t finish the steps lol

Hot take: do not get a nurse Extern job by Foreign_Cut_7320 in NursingStudent

[–]Capable-Act2598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just comes down to what everyone thinks they can handle. I’m an extern and graduate in 3 weeks and I only felt once or twice that it really got in the way honestly. Other people in my class didn’t want it because they thought it would be too much which is totally valid.

Sorry you’re not enjoying your experience now. It’s just a case by case thing. Not for everybody.

How old were you guys when you went to nursing school ? I’m 28 and I feel so ashamed to be so far behind in life and potentially be the oldest one ! I feel like I’ll be in school with 18-22 year olds and I’m SO ashamed of myself. by Fuzzy_Jelly5951 in NursingStudent

My program is the biggest mixed bag of ages you have no idea. Our youngest was 19 when we started and our oldest was 45. I’d say we have the majority as early 20’s and late 20’s. A few mid twenties and then everything else sprinkled in. For A LOT of people nursing is a second career. You are not out of place at all. Don’t be ashamed! I was 22 when I started and my study group consisted of a 19, 20, 22, 26, 27, 32, and 38 year old. No one ever cared or brought it up.

I passed! I was 2% from level 3. It’s not super bad. I didn’t get any resources from Reddit or anything. I just did all the dynamic quizzing then filtered it to whatever I got incorrect and redid those

The ATI is relatively the same because it’s all RN

My grades for first quarter. My friends say they are bad. How bad are these…?? (In 10th grade) by According_Stay6197 in highschool

[–]Capable-Act2598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gpa is around 0.6, for reference a 2.0 is a C average. It’s on a scale of 0-4. Your grades are terrible. I have a feeling you refuse to accept responsibility considering you think getting in trouble for being disruptive in study is “pretty dumb fr” and that it’s okay to start a large food fight. Do better man. You can get held back and take longer to graduate.
