As far as living, I live in Lynnwood and commute downtown. The north side is gorgeous and if you don't like driving you can always find a vanpool wherever you work. Essentially, the community transit systems loan a van to a group of people who have t...

You could apply to the may or September cohort. But for may, you would need to take and pass your boards ASAP after graduation. Keep in mind it starts the first half of the month, so if you graduate at the end of may, then the may cohort wouldn't be ...

At the end of the residency, if there isn't a job opening in some capacity on your unit (which there usually is) then you will have a pt or ft job somewhere in the Swedish system. During the residency you work 36-40 hours a week whether that is on th...

Swedish I believe has three cycles per year. And hire about 40-60 people per rotation. For the license about your other post, I took the nclex and was licensed in SD which is a compact state and was able to get an rn license by endorsement from wa st...

Mine says withdrawn also but I handed in my signed offer letter last night.

You received the background check too? I only got the offer letter ....

I think it took about 4-6 weeks

Camaraderie! I just moved to the Seattle metro area as an SDSU new grad rn from Watertown and just landed a residency job at Swedish. Hope it is going well for you if you moved here!

Just wanted to update that I got a job in the Swedish Jan 2014 residency on the nephrology unit. Thank you guys for all of the advice!

Hello everyone! I am a new graduate BSN RN from South Dakota and am looking for jobs in WA state. I already have my WA temporary practice permit. I realize that I decided a bit late to move to WA so it is even harder to find jobs this time of year. J...

I actually got accepted into the new grad residency at Swedish on nephrology :) Although I am very excited, I would've liked to interview at PRMC also had they been able to get back to me sooner. I also did apply to PSKC. They have continuing g recru...

Just starting a dialogue. Has anyone applied, heard back about interviews, or know when they will contact for interviews?

Also, I don't know what the situation for new grads is in Texas, but it is EXTREMELY Competitive in Seattle. A residency may receive well over 1,000 applications and only hire 40-60 people. If there are decent hospital jobs to be had in Texas, stick ...

I was in the same boat. Moved to WA from a compact state (SD) and actually found that my compact license was not affected. I have a full wa rn license now. I notified my state board that I moved out of state but the license is actually still intact u...

As far as scrubs, on the Nephrology unit, any color scrubs are acceptable. Shoes must be closed toe. Anyone know if Swedish security will walk people out to the buses. I will be taking the metro and commuter buses.

I think cherry hill is a few blocks down the street but still the same general neighborhood

When they said they email everything, I forgot to ask if we send everything back via email or print it out. I only wonder because I'm going to SoDak for three weeks and won't be back until jan 8. Also, does anyone know what the dress code/ uniform is...

I am also at first hill on nephro. What about you NewNurse17? What unit/campus? I am becoming accustomed to the buses because I am from SD. I'm not used to the traffic and realize that others are such bad drivers, hence I try not to drive :)

Yikes, LiftFit, that would be my worst nightmare also! I am so excited! Homework far away from swedish do you live? I live in north lynnwood and don't plan on moving so I will be on the lookout for someone I can carpool with so I don't have to take t...

I just got a callback today for an interview. I had to decline due to accepting a job elsewhere, but I know they are scheduling interviews for next week! I would've loved to interview there but they took just a bit too long.

Congrats to you too LiftFit! What floor/unit will you be on? I'm in Nephro/Transplant. I don't know if I am the only one there or if they hired a few others also. I know Jan 13 is the start date and they will send the contract and everything via emai...

I'm sorry you didn't get an interview! I agree with LiftFit, definitely check into providence's MedSurg residency. But know that even if they want to interview you, they take a long time to callback. To prepare for the interview, I researched behavio...

Just wanted to update that I got the job in nephrology! So excited! I know they are still making offers and finishing interviews so good luck to everybody!

Have you heard anything back yet?

July-September I was in contact via email with a nurse recruiter from HR who was in charge of opening/closing the position and have emailed a few times since but have not heard anything from her since she opened the req.
