Thank you for taking time to reply here.I appreciate your time and input. Yes I have coworkers who transferred to Acute care.Some took the Residency route, worked at detox and some in the hospital after a year or less of working.I am targetting to hit my 1 year.2-3 months from now I will start applying. How did you start your journey as a Nurse and what are the trainings and skills set that helped you level up? I know we have to start somewhere... Thanks!

Thank you.I am about to hit my 1 year now in a Skilled/Rehab facility here in US working as an RN.With a BSN, I hope I can venture to acute care soon.Thank you so much for your time! I appreciate.

I read your book in one sitting when I met you here online..such an AWESOME book.I highly recommend for students and working nurses.With TONS of golden nuggets and gems. Thank you for your advice.After our conversation, I went to my homeland and worked in the Acute Hospital for 6 months.I worked in MS and after getting adjusted for 2 months I crossed trained in the Emergency Dept and worked in both departments and finished my 6 months.When I came back to US I landed a job in a Skilled Nursing Facility thereafter.Now..I will hit my 1 year this 2021 as a full time day shift Nurse and wanting to level up my career. What advise would you give me to land a job in an Acute Hospital to be able to work in MS or ER or ICU? Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate your advise.I would be glad to hear from you again.

True!

To openly discuss it is a good start. They have great suggestions here for all of us. Slowing down helps you calm down and be more detail oriented.Nursing is such a broad field.It is nice to start strong by reading more books such as fundamentals of nursing, pharmacology and explore on our specialty as we find our niche.And at the clinical area, we need to observe the standard procedure, practice what is safe and later on our speed will just improve as we keep evaluating our performance and mastering the prioritization skills as we keep doing it.It takes months to a year to get more comfortable.You passed NCLEX for a reason...that means u know the basic safe practice.Sometimes, as a new nurse we overthink and overanalyze and that we complicate things.Try to reach out to your friends that you are comfortable working with.There is genius in you.

Thank you so much for your time and reply.This is very helpful.

Thank you.I was not aware of because I was gone for almost a year. Came back just before the lack down.

How is everything? Anyone applied to Swedish Edmonds?

I know this is quite old..Who went to Swedish hospital? How is it working there? How's the support? How's the benefit and the salary? I wanted to move up there..

Glad to hear from you again..She is just a dot in the paper then since majority of the staff are great. How is the training there or the orientation? Super happy to hear you focus more on the best side of the situation. Take care!

I'm sorry to hear about your experience.How are you now? Did you decide to transfer to another area or facility or apply somewhere? I hope you didn't sign any contract.. Thank you for sharing your experience.This will be a heads up for everyone including myself.I hope this will be addressed. I hope you will find a good place to work where people are supportive and happy.It is something we can look forward to no matter how busy and tiring our job is. Take care and thank you!

How's everyone? How is it working there? How's the work environment and the support? How's the pay and the promotion? Hope you guys had a great time there.Thanks!

How was working in Tacoma general? Hows the staff? Is the management supportive of the newly hired Nurses or Staff? How is the pay? Did you guys sign a contract? How long? Thanks a lot!

How are you? Did you pursue this? How was it?

Hi! How are you? Are you still working in Seattle? How is the cost of living there? What are the hospitals within Tacoma-Seattle woulf you recommend best that are supportive to the nurses and pays well? Thank you!

Hi! How are you? Have you worked around Tacoma- Seattle area? Among the hospitals within Seattle which hospitals would you recommend that are supportive to Nurses? Couple of recruiters contacted me from Tacoma General for Medical Surgical, ED and ICU.For Virginia Mason they want me to be in In-patient or primary facilities or ambulatory services then transfer to specialty area after 1 yr or less then Providence. I need to move if I take any of the job within the area.How is the cost of living there? What are the hospitals that pays good? Thank you so much!

what is TN visa? They will ask you, when did you graduate and when was your last clinical.

Try to check Swedish and Virginia Mason.You can search around Washington State category to find out for more..It will also depend on which area or unit you want to work.

How's your move in seattle gals? How is the cost of living there? How's the residency? I would love to hear from you all. Thanks for your time!

Hi! How's everything? Did you hear from them?

How are you? If you're still on the same situation..Have you tried sending your resume to the evaluator? maybe that's where everyone should start...

How are you? Did you start? or When will you start? u will do fine..

Hi! I called CA BON before and the representative told me that they need your (Nursing) school transcript be sent DIRECTLY(from your school) to their office even if you have CES. You may verify this information if you like by calling them.Thank you!

Congratulations!!!???? Nada..My school has not sent the docs yet.Still waiting..I believe if your transcript says the medium of instruction in school was English, you'll have the high chance to be exempted..It's the discretion of the evaluator or analyst to require you to take English proficiency exam or not. Please update me the progress & result of your endorsement to California.Thank you!
