1. Nursing student in WA moving back home to Hawaii after graduation

   murse96706 replied to melanilovesisaac's topic in Hawaii

   I would definitely try to get experience there before coming back. Prior to starting college, I was told getting a degree from the mainland would impress employers more than graduating from a Hawaii program. Fast forward to post-grad and I think it's...

2. Hawaii Pacific University Level 1 acceptance

   murse96706 replied to JChristn's topic in Hawaii

   Check out Seattle, they have a bunch of RN residency programs. I graduated from UH in December, started working as a tech at straub, and got into a new grad residency in Seattle that starts next month.

3. New grad moving to Seattle

   murse96706 replied to Nurseray987's topic in Washington

   I'll be moving there next month to start an ED RN residency program at Overlake. My advice would be to research the hospitals that offer residency programs before moving there. Start applying now as some places are still accepting apps. Also, keep in...

4. Move to Seattl

   murse96706 replied to jakebrumbaugh's topic in Washington

   I have seen places in Kirkland and the bus ride to Bellevue does not seem bad at all. I've visited Seattle a couple of times and Capitol Hill looked like a nice place to de-stress after work and meet new people. Any areas in Seattle that I should try...

   Hey skip219, I'm from Hawaii and just accepted a new grad position at Overlake in Bellevue. Trying to look for a place around where I could take the bus it to work as I plan to bus it to work. Any suggestions?

   My top choice was ED. Interviewed in mid-March, no callback yet. It doesn't seem like they have contacted anyone yet so I'm not too anxious yet. But I'm hoping they will in the next week or two before I contact them and/or start losing hope lol.

   Got an interview with them next week. Any tips as to what they'll ask? It's a Skype interview so that'll be a first for me.

9. Swedish Resident Registered Nurse Program Summer 2016

   murse96706 replied to kah_0123's topic in Washington

   I interviewed a little over a month ago as well. I have read on here they might start calling by mid-April and maybe until the end of the month so I'm not too anxious yet. Was just curious if anyone else may have heard from them.

    Did anyone get a second interview yet?

11. Hawaii - land of unfriendly nursing job opportunities for new grads

    murse96706 replied to TheGoodRN2015's topic in Hawaii

    It's unfortunate that you have family obligations that force you stay here because I would say check out the mainland. You are right in the sense that it is hard to get into the New Grad program at any hospitals here. I also agree on you about the tr...

12. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    murse96706 replied to jsy16's topic in Washington

    I have a couple classmates from Hawaii who are in the most recent cohort and from what one of them told me, they paid for her plane ticket and the shipping costs for her car and dog. As far as applying for the July cohort, I spoke with one of the rec...

    murse96706 replied to CCUbound's topic in Washington

    Question for any of the new grads: Did you already take your NCLEX? I wanted to apply for the Feb cohort but being that I just graduated in December, I thought it'd be better to get all that done and get my license transferred before applying. Also,...
