Reno Hospitals

Located in Northern Nevada, the Reno-Sparks metro area, which includes the adjacent cities of Reno and Sparks, is home to more than 400,500 people. Reno is the third-largest city in the state, and is 26 miles north of Carson City, the capital of Nevada.

As the population has grown in the area, so too has the creation of new jobs, particularly in the medical field. Demand for qualified medical professionals at hospitals in Reno and Lake Tahoe has never been higher. Northern Nevada is home to a number of hospitals and healthcare facilities, with expansions, renovations and new centers creating a constant demand for qualified medical professionals and opportunities for these professionals to embark on new career paths, build upon their skills and expertise, and take part in new and important healthcare innovations.

To help meet demand, the U. S. Department of Labor recently awarded a grant to Truckee Meadows College for education, training and a nurse mentor program. The goal is to get more than 260 new nurses into Reno-area hospitals and medical facilities immediately.
