  3. New Graduate Needs help finding a job in Seattle

    itri4vt replied to dohasanbarten's topic in Washington Nursing

    August 1! Very quick turnaround time. I feel badly for the scheduler at my current job, since she has a ton of shifts to cover for August. What unit are you

  4. New Graduate Needs help finding a job in Seattle

    itri4vt replied to dohasanbarten's topic in Washington Nursing

    Speaking from experience, it is tough and frustrating and takes a lot of patience. Today was finally a breakthrough for me - I was offered a residency position at Mary Bridge Children's in Tacoma. I...

  5. First RN job = part time, nights, stable pt

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Home Health

    Wow, you sure hit the nail on the head!! However, just as I got comfortable with caring for the family I started with and I had actually had some fun conversations with them, my car was broken into,...

  6. First RN job = part time, nights, stable pt

    itri4vt posted a topic in Home Health

    I finally got an RN position after graduating from a BSN program in December! Not my first choice, but it'll give me experience (and hopefully confidence as an RN). I'm working in home health just...

    itri4vt posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi! I have an interview at Swedish and I just wanted to see if anyone had advice for what kinds of questions to expect from them. Should I be ready for clinical

  9. Interview at Swedish?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Washington Nursing

    I think there is a a night-and-day difference in jobs for experienced nurses vs. for new grads (or with only non-acute experience). I was not selected for the Swedish residency. I prepared for and...

  10. Interview at Swedish?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Washington Nursing

    Interview is tomorrow... send me good thoughts!! The manager I interviewed with last time put in a good word for me through an email to the manager I'm interviewing with tomorrow... that was really...

  11. Interview at Swedish?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Washington Nursing

    Wendy, the residency is paid at the normal starting pay for a nurse. If the nurse going through the residency is hired into the unit s/he did the residency in, then I'm sure the orientation is...

  12. Interview at Swedish?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Washington Nursing

    It is for different med/surg units... it is a big cohort of like 34 new grads, so they all do different shifts, every other weekend, and she said they'll try to make them "floatable" to other units so...

  13. Interview at Swedish?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Washington Nursing

    The phone interview went well! I have an in-person interview next week. Not the ER dream job - it's actually just a residency for 12 weeks that would make me qualified to apply for Staff RN...

    itri4vt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a phone interview last Monday, and I was told they'd let me know either way in a week to a week and a half if I can come in for a 2nd interview. It's Friday (12 days later) and I haven't heard...

  18. Thoughts on St. Joseph Medical Center? Does a new grad have chance for job there?

    itri4vt replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Chemdawg, the recruiter was correct. They don't have specific "residency" programs or positions posted. I also graduated in December from a school in VA, and I got one call about St. Clare's ED while...

  23. Phone interview scheduled for new grad position. Advice?

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The waiting is the hardest part. I was supposed to hear back after the phone interview in "one to one and a half weeks" but I didn't hear until over 2 weeks later. I called the HR lady and left a...

    itri4vt replied to itri4vt's topic in Home Health

    I guess it does come with the job, although I kind of feel that should've been brought up during my office orientation... we talked about everything else! Anyway, I emailed the HR lady at my agency...
