  1. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Well, judging by the email on Tuesday requesting BLS cards, this is a massive hire. I am going to be new to Swedish, but was hired under the New to Specialty hire group, so basically a residency for experienced nurses. It'll be interesting to see how...
  2. how long did it take you to end up in the NICU?

    So I knew even before starting Nursing School, that I wanted to do NICU. Unfortunately, the way our Practicum selection was run, it was a lottery. I was at the bottom and ended up being an elementary school nurse in the Community Health section. Tha...
  3. University of Washington?

    Hi there. Quick and simple response. For me, I got my AA at a community college while continuing to build on my healthcare experience. UW doesnt just look at grades when inviting you to the proctored essay. They look at your Personal Statement, Volu...
  4. Starting wages for new grads Seattle/ Everett

    I found info on the WSNA for Northwest Hospital and other hospitals. I just had to dig through the contracts individually and there I found them.
  5. Stethoscope covers OK for men?

    Im shocked no one has mentioned it yet.... Use surgitube man... Its free, and you can change it as often as you need to. The other side of it is that the oils from your neck can also break down the tubing (over years of repeated wearing with no cover...
  6. Legacy Versant RN Residency Summer 2014 Cohort :-)

    Which hospital?? I interviewed at Salmon Creek with the manager of W&C services, I figured that would be NICU spots. At least on the Washington side. I didnt make it through to the second round though... July 10th is tomorrow and I have settled w...
  7. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    This is the new image. The Youtube video was a few years old. This is the new updated version. I took my boards yesterday, freaked the **** out and then did this and the clouds parted and it was 90 degrees... Awesome...
  8. University of Washington's BSN program 2014

    If you get accepted into the Nursing program, Academic Services will get you into the University. They have that kind of power. Unless for some reason something was falsified or whatnot, then you're on your own. Good Luck. It was an amazing time and ...
  9. How long did it take to post your license after nclex

    Make sure you have everything else in to the DOH. Official transcripts, paid application and by the time you get your results it should be sent through. A buddy of mine who just graduated with me June 14, has taken his NCLEX, passed it and has his li...
  10. Job market for new grad

    As a New Grad BSN in Seattle, all I have to say is pack plenty of patience. There are a significant number of nursing schools in a tightly packed region who just graduated large cohorts of eager folks. In the hospital setting, most, not all positions...
  11. Legacy Versant RN Residency Summer 2014 Cohort :-)

    Thanks for the cheers. I have my BSN now, but take mt boards next week. So I guess we will have to wait one more week for that phone call... Come on Vancouver, light my phone up please
  12. Legacy Versant RN Residency Summer 2014 Cohort :-)

    I am debating just staying at my ER job as a Tech and waiting for a perfect residency position to come around. I would hate to get stuck in some position that I am not passionate about.
  13. Legacy Versant RN Residency Summer 2014 Cohort :-)

    I have sort of came to a sad conclusion that it may not happen this time. I have been waiting for that "Vancouver" number on my caller ID op-up, but to no avail. Thankfully I will be taking an adult ICU, not a Neo ICU position I was hoping for to beg...
  14. New Grad RN Jobs?

    I believe judging by the topic, this is about NEW GRAD jobs. From what I gather from friends who live there (or who have moved from the islands, and those with more knowledge please correct me), they are preferential to hiring those who live on the i...
  15. How to become a school nurse in WA?

    I did my Senior Prac in a Seattle Public School as a school nurse. Each school website has the requirements necessary to attain this position. Be forewarned, School Nursing for anyone with any degree lower than a MSN, will merit about $19 an hour. I ...
