Compare Evergreen and Overlake ER's

[stumillardkm]

I am interested in working in the ER (as an RN) and looking at either Evergreen in Kirkland or Overlake in Bellevue...

Can anyone give me any input what the differences are between the 2 hospitals' ER's ...??? (i.e. do they have electronic charting? do nurses have places to sit at their station?, the personalities of the staff?, the ratio of nurse to patients?, level of trauma seen?...)

Thank you!

I have done clinicals at Evergreen in the past and I think they are amazing. They have computerized charting and medicine administration. They are really big on customer service towards patients and families and they give employees kudos quite a bit. If you live on the Eastside, I would definitely apply there...

Just my .02 worth....

p.s- if you PM me, I can give you the name and contact info of the nurse manager of the Evergreen ER. I have 2 classmates who are doing their preceptor ship there now...
