   @cardiacnurse17 I have not heard anything back yet. I put my preferences as ED and med/surg. One specific unit I applied for was the Issaquah surgical floor. What were your preferences?

   coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington

   @agirlhasnoname It was an online application in which you included your resume and cover letter. It then asked some very basic multiple choice questions like if you have worked for Swedish, did clinicals at Swedish, etc.

   coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington

   So just some information from a phone conference I participated in today. There are about 1000 applicants for 80-90 positions. They typically interview 3-10 people for 1 position, but are trying to get that ratio down to 2:1. It definitely sounded li...

13. Swedish August Residency 2017

    coug_nurse replied to kkay29's topic in Washington

    Hi Jadebsn, Yeah I am finding it a little strange I didn't have a phone interview, and instead (so far) just about a 45 minute HireVue interview. It went well, gave you a question and then you hit a button to start video recording your response. The ...

    coug_nurse replied to subsub's topic in General Students

    I would say I feel supported by 90% of my instructors (there are a couple not as nice ones, but they are not mean just here to teach the class and do research). A fair amount of the staff will do everything they can to help you with whatever you need...
