We are excited to have you, I'm Dree, people will tend to identify me by my bright pink fanny pack ? I'm obviously still new, but I have been saving an abundance of resources and things in a binder (working on converting it to digital) that I wish I had during the program to help me along so if you ever need anything I'm happy to help! See ya Friday!

Hey! That's so exciting! I believe we have a meet and greet with you guys at the end of next week! It's been so amazing, it's A LOT for sure, but I've learned SO MUCH and I'm so excited to get off orientation and not be the new babies anymore ?

I just sent you a request ?

Heck yea! I will be moving there next weekend!

Cool I just sent you a request!

Ah bummer. Sounds like you got children's though which is still an amazing hospital! I was split 50/50 on which hospital I was hoping for

I work as a periop assistant at my current hospital which is a level 1, and I work on the surgical floor as a CNA, I had 3 letters of recommendation, and gently email stalked the recruiter LOL. I also did my senior practicum in the OR which included doing the first 17 online modules of the periop 101 program and they seemed really impressed by that so I think that's what gave me a leg up. Have you tried contacting the recruiter? It may be worth shooting your shot and expressing how interested you are if you are really wanting harborview.

That's awesome! I was hoping for an interview for the OR at Children's but I havent heard anything so I'm thinking it's probably a no. I did interview and get an offer with Harborview in their OR though! Im moving from Colorado, So it might be nice to meet anyway even if we arent at the same hospital ?

Hi friends! I just graduated and have accepted a position in the periop 101 program at Harborview in Seattle starting in September! I am hoping to meet some other people who are going to be there as well ?

Not yet, this one is for august. The recruiters name is (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME). They don't accept rec letters in the application but they told me that if you are invited to interview you can provide letters at that time

The application is up! Best of luck everyone!! I just submitted mine. #1 Acute Care Float Pool #2 Surgical Unit #3 NICU

I worked as a nanny for 4 years, now I work on a surgical floor as a CNA and as a periop assistant in the OR, I did my pediatric rotation at Children's Hospital Colorado, and I am doing my senior preceptorship in an Adult Operating Room. I don't have as much pediatric medical experience since COVID shortened our rotation and canceled our peds preceptorship options. But I am hoping my OR experience will help!

There is also the UW hospitals! (Montlake, Harborview, and Northwest I think) I know Harborview and Montlake applications are already open. I also applied to Virgina Mason but I haven't heard anything either. I'm also from out of state, but Seattle Childrens and Harborview are my top 2! I just submitted my application to the Washington DOH and I have an interview scheduled with Harborview and had a phone interview with Seattle Childrens for their Periop programs!

I think this is for the Swedish in Seattle. I also applied and got the same email about the interview process. Anyone applying at any other Seattle area hospitals?

Hi friends, I just had a brief phone interview for the periop program. I'm not sure how different the interview process is for the main residency programs, but here are the questions I was asked: When is your graduation/where are you taking your NCLEX (since I am out of state) Tell me about your experience in your clinical/work and what you have observed (she asked me specifically about what surgeries I have observed) Why do you think you are good for this unit over other units Tell me about a time you made a mistake during clinical and what you learned from it
