I'm an LVN in Texas and the pulled blood and pulled PICC's, Access Deaccess PAC's that was part of my job in a large hospital in the Houston Medical Center once again one of those facility policies. At one hospital I pushed IV drugs narcotics and cardiac meds. I even pulled sheaths after heart caths.0 It's Magnet that killed off our ability to be nurses in the units. I am ACLS, PALS certified worked PCU, CCU and ER. I was taught the gtts and vents. No longer I was one of 6 LVN's left in a 700 bed hospital. I've left and found my love of nursing again in Hospice where I feel valued. There is a thin line between the two. I've met nurses of both licenses that were great or scary. Libility and Magnet too many good Nurse's weren't grandfathered in. I'm going back to school to do my job sad but true

Bellevue has many places to live, Kirkland is close too and nice bus times have changed in the past few years but you can usually get a bus to and from most places in the Seattle area. If you live in the city it can be expensive but fun

Hey Jake, I went to Nursing school in WA at LWTC in Kirkland. Washington is gorgeous this time of year. I saw this post after just talking to my daughter Summer. She's working for a travel nurse agency that is looking for nurses in and will travel to Washington State. Very pro nursing agency great past,first day insurance 401k great pay etc etc . They will help with licensing travel etc. What their Nurse's got for Nursing Week made me jealous lol. It's a great way to taste different units and hospitals and find one that fits. If you are interested call or email Summer Frost recruiting consultant with Republic Health Resources [email protected] or 817-873-0391
