by RNEdmonds Jun 6, '12Greetings!
Just moved to the Northern Seattle Suburb of Edmonds from Sarasota, Florida and I must say that I am enjoying a reprieve from the heat.
I am a recently new nurse, graduated in 2010. I have 1 year of acute care experience on a Progressive care unit, ACLS, PALS,Telemetry, Mechanical Vent certified. I'm having a difficult time finding work in the Seattle area.
I've applied to anything that is relevant to my experience. Does anyone have any suggestions for finding work. I am flexible and open to ideas.
Thanks!

Jun 9, '12 by BonnieScHave you been looking at Harborview? They seem to be one of the few hiring right now. Have you checked out the long-term acute care places?
Also, I know this seems basic, but I made this stupid mistake the first time I was applying in Washington. Everywhere else I've lived, nursing jobs, which are usually "0.9" employment, have been listed under "full time". Here many hospitals seem to list a full-time nursing job under "part time", just because it's less than 40 hours a week. So my searches for full time work were coming up blank.
You aren't the only one who's having a hard time. Good luck!
