    Reno1978 replied to Mr Wright's topic in Washington Nursing

    Good luck you guys! I live/work in WA state and WSU grads that I work with say you go in to a panel interview, select an envelope from a hat that includes 3-4 questions. Everyone I've asked seems to...

    How many hours worked to keep license active?

    Reno1978 replied to MelissaJaneRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Another option may be to just keep your DE license active. You don't have to live there to maintain an active license. Do they require a minimum # of hours to work? You can then just endorse to WA...

    Reno1978 replied to therang's topic in Critical Care

    What is the job market like in WA?

    Reno1978 replied to marie010's topic in Washington Nursing

    When I moved to WA state from NV, I did it through the mail, and it was pretty quick. I'm not even sure that they allow walk in licensing here. Instead of a board of nursing, it's the Department of...

    Reno1978 replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing
