Specializes in Postpartum.

Here it depends on the unit. Right now there are a few in the ED and PACU in Bellingham, ED seems to always be looking and also the ICU...A half hour away I hear they are laying off non-nursing staff. Funny we are having a shortage and over worked ....

That is good news! I am working on my pre-reqs right now, and am volunteering at St. Joe's, the new cuddler program in the Special care nursery......it really makes me want to hurry up and be a nurse! LOL!!

I hope things get better soon! It's rough for new grads. I look forward to when I'm not considered a new grad.

New grads:

Now here this!

I believe that Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington, (a suburb about 20 miles north of Seattle), will be offering a new grad residency starting in January.

I do not know how many slots they will have.look them up on the internet. It is supposed to be a nice hospital to work in, and the area is nice as well. Not too far from Univerasity of Washington. Hope this helps!

Specializes in Certified Med/Surg tele, and other stuff.

Franciscan is hiring new grads. Check out St. Joe's in Tacoma. They seem to have the most listed. So is Enumclaw, a very small rural hospital that has been taken over by the Saints. They are building a new hospital and will be growing. That means more nursing jobs.:yeah:

Specializes in M/S, Travel Nursing, Pulmonary.

I'm considering moving back to WA from PA after a divorce. While I was a travel nurse in WA, I was looking to go full time there and stay. The market at the time was not bad.........but not great. I could have had a job at Tacoma General or Virginia Mason (Seattle) had I wanted, but it was in M/S. I was looking to get out of M/S, but they wanted to keep me there since I had experience with it.

Is the job market good enough that someone with experience can go into a specialty different than what they've been doing?
