May be traveling to Seattle, WA

[jmrobi5]

My current assignment in Atlanta is almost over and I've been submitted to a few hospitals in Seattle/Tacoma area. I'd appreciate any feedback on the travel nurse experience at the Swedish Medical Center system (I haven't read good things yet), Tacoma General, University of Washington, and/or Virginia Mason. I'm also looking for any info on where to live or good resources to help me find a place.... I'm fairly new to the traveling game so any information would be super helpful!!

I am also planning on traveling to Seattle in October/November. Looking into American Mobile and Cross Country. Which travel agency are you using?

I'm working at Swedish (Cherry Hill campus) right now in Seattle. Don't know about day shift but if you are a night shifter parking is not an issue, you can easily find street parking for free. It is in my contract that I could float to another campus but I haven't yet (I'm a little over a month in). If you are guaranteed your hours then you have to expect they will want to get their money's worth lol. I don't think it happens regularly. It's true that if you float they can pull you after a few hours. Both times I was floated to the floor I was pulled back to ICU after four hours but that was fine by me as I really don't prefer working on the floor. The good thing is they rotate the floats amongst all staff, not just the travelers. So far I think they are fair and traveler friendly. I think it's a great hospital to work at. Feel free to contact me if you want any more info.
