Hey everyone, Kaiser Permanente is hiring in clackamas, OR Emergency room. One year ER experience required, BLS, ACLS, PALS. It is not a trauma facility, occasionally we get walk ins. If you're looking for $ and great benes though it's amazing for that. Insurance is $24 a month for you and your entire family. You vest in a pension (which is almost unheard of now a days) after 5 years. Fri-sun pick ups are double time. Holidays are double time a half. Fourth consecutive day is time and a half (double time for night shift), and fifth consecutive day is double time. We are also looking for charge nurses. PM me and I can get you our union contract and a bene sheet. Easy to make six figures. Pt ratio is 1:4 although we are trying out 1:3 occasionally. They pay for your masters 100% through two different colleges (colorado tech and I'm forgetting at this moment) and/or your BSN if you need one (not needed for the position). It has its ups and downs I'd be happy to discuss with you! Many people use this as a stepping stone to get into Kaiser so we do have turn over. Sarah

Sorry didn't realize this was only for new grads. Although it says new grad program on KPs page that sadly is untrue they do not offer that program at this time.

Is there a county tax on either on top of the state income tax?

I need advice. I'm moving from MI to OR this April. I am coming from an 80 bed Level 1 teaching hospital in Detroit. I have been offered a position in a Kaiser ED. I also have the possibility of OHSU. I'm at a total loss of who I should go with. They both have a pension. kaiser: 40 beds, OHSU: 20 beds they say they are adding 10 additional soon. Kaiser Pro - I think I'll end up getting paid more. 2p-2a shift. Kaiser neg: no self schd (huge neg for me b/c I love to travel). OHSU Pro - Level 1 Trauma (which I'm used to and love), self schd. Neg: really crappy parking, you pay 15/day. 7p-7a shift and probably wont get evenings anytime soon. Anyone have info on these hospitals or personal insight? I'm at a loss.

ok, I see I did my calculation based on month not years, now it sounds a bit better. Apologize. Does anyone know of any other hospital west coast that provides pensions?

Is finding a employer who provides a pension worth it? I have thought about working for Kaiser but I'm reading there union contract and it states "shall provide a monthly income commencing at age 65 of 1.45% of final average monthly compensation over the sixty (60) highest consecutive months out of the last one-hundred and twenty (120) months of employment." So after 10 years their pay is 51.53. I hear Kaiser is one of the best for pensions. So lets say after 10 years pay is 51.53 per hour. 51.53x12(hour days)=618.36 per day x 3 (days worked per week), 1,855.08 per week x 4 (weeks in a month)= 7,420.32 <- per month in the 10th year worked. x .0145 (the retirement) = 107.59 ..... so their “pension” is paying $107/month give or take b/c its over 60 highest consec months?? Or did I calculate wrong b/c that seems not worth it. Educate me. Is this right? Anyone have any great plans out there?

I'm planning to move to WA or OR. I'd really love to live in the PNW. I've lived about ten years on and off in AK but am currently living in MI. I'm missing the ocean and mountains! Any pros or cons that people can think of between the two states? I will have 2 years of ER experience in a educational Level One Trauma hospital in Detroit. I have my BSN and EMT-B. I will have my TNCC, ENPC, ultrasound guided IV, ALS, and BLS certs. I know it's not a lot but I'm hoping I can get in somewhere... I'd like to live on the West coast of either state. Anyone recommend any hospitals? If I got a job in Seattle could I live outside and ferry in or is that too long of a commute? How about places like Everett or Bellingham, are those good places to work as an RN? I don't mind working in a large city but I prefer not to live in one. Any information is welcomed. Please share your experience if you work at a hospital on the west coast of either state. I'm hoping to do a drive around in September. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I know this throws off the formatting but make sure everything lines up nicely (all the dates line up etc). Add some color if you can to make it pop. I put my clinical experience directly under education. If you've got other work exp even if it's customer service add it on there. I know it's supposed to be a page but if this is not your first degree or you've held relevant positions include them. Another section I had was activities for the honors societies I was a part of, honors/awards if you received any, and professional enrichment section where I listed nursing conferences I had been to or CEUs. Good luck and congrats!

Took my NCLEX-RN yesterday (6/7/17) with 75 questions in 60 minutes did the PVT around 4 hours later and got the good pop up. I heard they released scores at 530am here in MI so I signed on this morning (next day 6/8/17) and found out I did pass . I know for some people it takes 48 hours in MI to post on LARA.

Does anyone know the pay or differentials?? I've got other offers but have an interview for cone and I'm trying to see if it is even worth it to fly out for the interview. Money would be the deciding factor for me because the programs I'm deciding between both sounds great.

I hear just over 27/hr. Did you end up getting a position at HFHS?

So I talked with Ascension Health + Beaumont HR and they said to add the shadowing experience to the resume for future new grads looking at this post. I just created an additional section: Observation Experience. They also said it could be mentioned in the cover letter.

I was placed in oncology for my preceptorship but want an ED position. Most ED jobs require that you've had clinical experience in ED or have at least 1 year experience. I've started to do 12 hour shadowing shifts at a level one trauma center. I'd like to include this in my resume, should I? If so where do I put it and how do I list it? I will be applying for the hospital I am shadowing at as well as out of state hospitals. Advice? So far on my resume I have: Personal Info Education Clinical Experience Licenses/Certs Professional Experience Volunteer Experience Activities (memberships) Accomplishments (Awards/honors) Professional Enrichment (additional courses/conferences) Skills Thank you!!

Hi, I'm graduating in April, 2017. I will be getting my MI license because I currently live here in MI and I want to use the MI license as a fall back. It scares me that CA takes up to 6 months so my plan is to get my license here in MI then apply for endorsement right away. My question is, can I start sending things in now such as a fingerprint card and 1st degree and community college transcripts? I could send my ASD BSN transcript in end of April / beginning of May. In June I imagine I could they could verify my license with Nursys. I don't think I can send the actual application in until after I receive my license?? Every time I call it says they are experiencing a high call volume and cannot take my call at this time. I know it takes them forever so I wanted to send in what I could but it looks like I may have to wait. Does anyone know? Thanks
