   sail2boat2002 replied to pullingallnighter's topic in Washington

   I agree with the last comment. It is really tough to find a job as a new grad in Washington never mind Harvorview and UW medical center unless you have a acute RN experience under your belt. I am a recent graduate myself and it looks like it is impos...

   Sisters of Providence just laid off 100 people. No specifics on whether or not any nurses were laid off. Kinda depressing for someone like me who is still in school

8. MultiCare Question

   sail2boat2002 replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Washington

   It is tough out there. If you don't here anything back from within 1 week from the day that you applied, you probably didn't get the position. They get about 100 position per open position and they simply ignore application that they don't seem to fi...

10. Is it easier to get a job as a New-grad RN with BSN?

    sail2boat2002 replied to sail2boat2002's topic in Washington

    sail2boat2002 replied to sail2boat2002's topic in Washington

    I am just bit worried because most urban city hospitals and metro city hospitals state in their job description that they prefer BSN over ADN. I know that it doesn't mean they won't hire ADNs but if there are two spots for new RN residency and 30 new...
