   sweetjane posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi all, I'm working on an acute care/oncology floor before transitioning to do my MSN and become a nurse practitioner. I am submatriculated into a women's health NP program at the same school where I did my BSN, but am beginning to think that FNP is ...

   I'm not sure... but it seems like in previous threads that the first part is HR, and the second is behavioral questions is the nurse manager and several other nurses on the particular floor.

   I grew up in Seattle but did nursing school out east. I was home visiting fam during the interviews. The process was great. The HR interview was very smooth, and it was clear to the woman who interviewed me that I needed to be on GYN surgery. I talke...

   sweetjane replied to sweetjane's topic in Washington

   I declined an offer from Swedish for their GYN surgery floor earlier this week, so if any of you applied for that one, a spot might be opening. I really liked the floor and the nurses who interviewed me, but frankly the fact that you aren't guarantee...

   I'm not sure applications for May are still open.... but I could be wrong. Look at their HR job listings page!

   sweetjane replied to pau1234's topic in NCLEX

   Someone in my class said to go *really slowly and reading really carefully* on the first 10 questions of the exam. Just go slow. Honestly. Read so carefully, and really think through the answers. I passed on Monday with 75 questions my first attempt,...

   Thanks :) Was it your sense that many people in your cohort were able to find job placement on the floors that you precepted on?

   sweetjane replied to sweetjane's topic in Washington

   Hi kaitac - my understanding is that the application is available at swedishcareers.org for one week only three times per year. I would maybe start checking in late April/early May to see if it's up. Fill out the application and submit it over the we...

   I think early May, judging from previous cohort posts on allnurses. But I'm not entirely sure.

    If you're under 30 and have been married for a few years, you will probably be considered independent. Do check with financial aid though.

13. Swedish Nurse Residency for May 2014

    sweetjane replied to sweetjane's topic in Washington

    I found out about the residency program when looking at their careers website. It was one of the job options to apply to. My sense is that it's only posted for a short period of time three times per year, and once it's no longer posted then you have ...

    sweetjane replied to sweetjane's topic in Washington

    They called me after I submitted my resume/application. I was really surprised. I think they're just beginning the first round of interviews so perhaps they are still in the process of calling people? I would stay posted and wait for a phone call to ...
