  1. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Yay!! When is it and what unit? Is this your second or third unit interview?
  2. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    I'm really surprised more people aren't posting on here about this residency btw
  3. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    I think so. If I don't get Swedish I'm just gonna wing it haha. Been in LA too long...
  4. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

  5. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Ah gotcha. Good luck! I haven't applied for other programs either
  6. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    They probably need to finish interviews before the units can decide who gets you. That is my assumption. Both units I interviewed for said end of the month.
  7. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Good Luck Andrea! What unit was the interview for?
  8. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Will do! Im expecting it'll be about a week and a half but hopefully sooner!
  9. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Me too!! She did say that sometimes they have a lot of people they like and will offer to start in the next cohort if the individual is okay with that.
  10. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    The recruiter told me when I had my first interview that she'd try to get me in for multiple units to increase my odds of getting in somewhere. I didn't think I was gonna get another one but they emailed me yesterday about it.
  11. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Update: I just had another interview with the cardiac telemetry unit at cherry hill. Only the nurse manager this time, she said if she's having trouble deciding she may do another panel interview. I got nervous when she said she was only hiring 3 ne...
  12. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Had my second interview today for first hill IMCU. Panel of 7 (via Skype). Everyone was so nice it made me want to work there even more!! They said they have more interviews to do so they will get back to me in a couple weeks once they make decisions...
  13. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Andrea, I would take that as a good sign cause they probably are deciding who wants/needs you most! My interview is Monday for First Hill ICU (originally thought it was step down because that's what the first email said before she rescheduled). Defi...
  14. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    They had to reschedule my interview for the 12th. Let me know how yours goes! What unit is it for?
  15. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    I have a panel interview tomorrow for the first hill step down unit (IMCU)!
  16. Anyone taken NCLEX in CA for WA?

    Hey all! I live in CA and am finishing up my BSN program next month. My school has already sent my RN application to the CA BRN. I have a possible job in Washington (pending second interviews, but outlook seems promising). If hired, this would be my...
  17. WA Nclex results?

    Awesome! We are super backlogged here in Cali so I'm applying to WA because I have a possible job there anyway. I'm out of state so I know I have to do the fingerprinting card and all that so hopefully I can get it done quick to test by end of Augus...
  18. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Hi emersonarchi, The recruiter assured me she will be scheduling me for interviews with critical care and telemetry. I contacted her yesterday to check in because I had some questions. She said they have not gotten to scheduling unit interviews yet ...
  19. WA Nclex results?

    Hi - I know this is an old thread. But can anyone tell me how long it took them to apply to take the NCLEX in Washington? I mean from time submitting application to time authorized to take the NCLEX? Thanks!

  21. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Nice! It's for all locations I believe
  22. Swedish Hospital

    Can you tell me more about what your experience was with the relocation assistance? Also, any advice for the interview? Just had my HR interview and I will have my unit specific interviews scheduled late July or August. Thanks!!
  23. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Congrats on the interview! Don't be nervous. I was so nervous for the week leading up to it and there was really no need. The start date is October 24th. She'll ask why you want to work at Swedish, why nursing, preferred unit and why, favorite clinic...
  24. Seattle's UWMC/Swedish Nursing Residency 2016

    Had my phone interview today! The recruiter is very nice. Very simple questions. She said she definitely wants to schedule me for second interviews with the CVICU, MICU and Tele unit to try and get me in somewhere! She said the managers are very acco...

    Hi All! I have a question. I have a phone interview next week. When I filled out my application for Swedish, when asked about preferred units, it listed Telemetry, Intermediate Care Unit, and Progressive Care unit. Can anyone tell me the difference b...
