Gary thank you for the honest assessment...that's about what I figured. I'm in Louisiana so I'm thinking that the work environment can't possibly be too much worse than here...?
Following this thread...I've been a nurse for 9 years and considering traveling as well, but I've always heard that you can expect the worst in terms of assignments, patient load, scheduling, etc. Is this true? The agency nurses I've worked with in ...
We are moving to Knoxville to be closer to family, and I would like to know if anyone has any info about the Covenant System, UT or East Tenn Children's. I am a new RN with 7 months experience in outpatient pediatrics doing well-child (KidMed) check-...
Hey everyone, I am currently working as an outpatient Peds RN doing well-child check-ups for Medicaid patients. My family and I are moving to Seattle, and will be visiting during the end of this month. I have tried to hound everyone I can, and applie...

Congrats!! :) I'm still trying to set up interviews, and having very little luck as an out of state applicant. I plan on going to the various floors that may be hiring and just handing my resume to the nurse managers there. Anyone think this is a go...

The only time I actually hear from Swedish is a few weeks later when they send an automated response telling me I wasn't selected for the position. I've tried to email the "recruiter" that sends these emails, but never get a reply. It's unfortunate t...
I'm a BSN new grad and just applied to a few jobs at UT Medical Center. Anyone work there or know anything about pay, benefits or work environment? I'm coming from Louisiana so I'm well aware of how low pay is here and in Tenn. How about nurse/pt...
hey Kodakgee...No, no luck yet, but I've just recently stopped looking until the Spring. I need to let my little girl finish out the school year here. I'm going to try to have a job lined up before we move, so it won't be too long until I'm applying ...
Does anyone know when they start taking applications for the RN Residency at Overlake? I know the next one is in March, but there is nothing on the site that says when they will start posting positions for it. Anyone work there? Do you like it? T...
I'm applying anywhere they are posting new grad positions...but I am willing to work anywhere to gain experience. I would like to be in peds, L&D, postpartum, PICU, or NICU, or ER. All I can do is apply online and wait, and email Paula Bartley bu...
paddingtonRN, do you currently work at Swedish? I'm trying to get in any way I can as a new grad relocating from Louisiana, and my WA license is pending. I keep emailing the nurse recruiter that sends out the "this positions has been filled" emails, ...
I'm relocating and hopefully taking a job at Providence Everett. Anyone a new grad there? What's it like for you? My husband and I are looking at the Mill Creek area for a home. First to rent an apartment then to buy. The Elementary School is highly ...

That was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I didn't expect too much of a reply since it wasn't really nursing related. It sounds perfect for us, we're excited to move. I really appreciate it. Thanks! :)
does anyone work at st. francis or anywhere in the franciscan health care system? i applied to a few new grad jobs there and have heard that this is one of the only places still hiring right now...is it a good place to work? how are the new grad orie...
Thanks so much:yeah: I'm sure this is just wishful thinking in this job market, but any idea if they offer relocation bonuses? Why are benefits there not that great? Oh, and we're a family of 4, two kids under 6.
I am relocating from Louisiana and have several applications in for residencies all over, but feel that I'm not being noticed because I'm from out of state. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me land and interview? I know the market is rough, b...

Thanks....I've tried to call Swedish but I can't get to the HR department, they only transfer me to someone to help fill out an online application. It seems difficult to talk to anyone in HR anywhere. You'd think with a nursing "shortage" we wouldn't...
