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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...

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...
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
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.
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...
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...
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 ...
