Hi all, I'm working on an acute care/oncology floor before transitioning to do my MSN and become a nurse practitioner. I am submatriculated into a women's health NP program at the same school where I...
Hello everyone! I just applied to the Nurse Residency program at Swedish in Seattle, WA for the May 2014 cohort. Anyone else in the same boat? Getting excited? Would love to hear from folks who...
I'm not sure... but it seems like in previous threads that the first part is HR, and the second is behavioral questions is the nurse manager and several other nurses on the particular
I grew up in Seattle but did nursing school out east. I was home visiting fam during the interviews. The process was great. The HR interview was very smooth, and it was clear to the woman who...
I declined an offer from Swedish for their GYN surgery floor earlier this week, so if any of you applied for that one, a spot might be opening. I really liked the floor and the nurses who interviewed...
Someone in my class said to go *really slowly and reading really carefully* on the first 10 questions of the exam. Just go slow. Honestly. Read so carefully, and really think through the answers. I...
Hi kaitac - my understanding is that the application is available at swedishcareers.org for one week only three times per year. I would maybe start checking in late April/early May to see if it's up....

Oh the BSN was good, generally. I'm happy with my education and feel prepared. There were many stressful times, many tears, many laughs, and you just end up relying on your amazing class and cohort to...
It is really a mixed bag. You think you want to go straight through, then you work. You want to work, but you decide to go straight through. I'm debating what to do myself right now. There honestly is...
Hi all! Congrats everyone! I finished the accelerated BSN in December so could try to answer questions if you have them. Philly is a great city with lots to offer, so don't feel intimidated about...
And more specific questions I have for anyone who is currently in or has completed the residency.... How are you liking it? Are you promised work on at least a floor at Swedish once you complete your...
For folks who have started the residency - how are you liking it? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Are you promised work on at least a floor at Swedish once you complete your residency? What are...
Hi all, I'm studying on the east coast at a great school and have failed validation twice, and get one more chance to do it. If I don't pass, I must retake my entire gero nursing class, which was...
