Providence St. Peter Hospital Residency Nov. 2016

U.S.A. Washington

Published

Hi there! I am a new RN from Oregon starting the St. Peter Residency this Nov. Anyone else here? I'll be in the ICU.

I am looking into housing right now and not finding much on Craigslist. I am not very familiar with the area either and I don't want to inadvertently move into a sketchy neighborhood. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Specializes in Ortho/Neuro (2yrs); Mom/Baby (6yrs); LDRPN (4+yr).

I'd be interested to hear how you two are liking St Peter. I'm looking into moving to the area in a couple years (gotta finish that BSN first!) and would like to know how other RNs like the hospital.

I ended up declining the offer. I was really impressed with the hospital, though. It seems like a fantastic place to work. One of my concerns with living in the area was the duration of the rainy/gloomy season in Olympia. Even though my hometown averages ~280 inches of snow each winter, the vast majority of days throughout the year are sunny (just under 300). I don't think I would fare well with 8 months of gloom. My dogs hate the rain and getting them outside would have been extra challenging.
