How is Nevada unique?

Nevada is a relatively unhealthy state compared to the rest of the Western region. For instance, for every 100,000 population in Nevada approximately 283 people die from cardiovascular related issues. This is forty-five more deaths than the regional average of two hundred and thirty-eight.

Nevada skyrockets above the rest of the Western states with the percentage of the population that does not have health care. Twenty one percent (21%) of the residents of Nevada don’t have access to health insurance. Finally, the rate of heart attacks in Nevada is five percent (5%). This is almost one point five percent (1.5%) higher than the regional average of three point five seven percent (3.57%).

RN license transfer, renewal & continuing ed

Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some health care professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.
