Swedish Residency Jan 2014

[delridge]

Hi,

I just applied for the Swedish Jan 2014 residency. Wondering if folks here also applied and whether you have heard back, or if you know the timeline for that.

I tried emailing the Swedish Residency email several times in the past few months to find out about the Meet/Greet but never heard back. Did anyone manage to attend? Or is this a secretive gathering for some selected few?

Please share your experiences and journeys!!

Whaleluver, I live in Bellevue. I think I might take the bus since I heard parking is really expensive there. Lynnwood is such a far and expensive drive! I wish we lived closer so we can get a carpool pass....

NewNurse17, I am at the First Hill campus. Congrats to you! Which unit/campus are you going to be at?

I am also at first hill on nephro. What about you NewNurse17? What unit/campus? I am becoming accustomed to the buses because I am from SD. I'm not used to the traffic and realize that others are such bad drivers, hence I try not to drive :)

When they said they email everything, I forgot to ask if we send everything back via email or print it out. I only wonder because I'm going to SoDak for three weeks and won't be back until jan 8. Also, does anyone know what the dress code/ uniform is and how we go about obtaining it?

Hey there LiftFitnHealthyRN and Whaleluver33 congrats to the both of you! I will be on the Cherry Hill Campus... is that different from First Hill? And I will be on the CVICU unit for the residency I don't know anything about the dress code either, I'm curious though.

[Whaleluver33]

I think cherry hill is a few blocks down the street but still the same general neighborhood

[LiftFitnHealthyRN]

NewNurse17, CVICU? That's awesome! And yes, Cherry Hill is a few blocks away from the First Hill campus. Where are you from may I ask?

Whaleluver33, did you go to school here? If so, which one?

[NewNurse17]

LiftFitnHealthyRN, thanks I'm really excited. To answer your question though I'm from Bonney Lake.

[Whaleluver33]

As far as scrubs, on the Nephrology unit, any color scrubs are acceptable. Shoes must be closed toe. Anyone know if Swedish security will walk people out to the buses. I will be taking the metro and commuter buses.

Hey everyone! Has your application status been updated online yet?!

[LiftFitnHealthyRN]

Mine says withdrawn for some reason...but I did receive the offer letter and background check via email...what did yours say NewNurse?

[Whaleluver33]

You received the background check too? I only got the offer letter ....

[Whaleluver33]

Mine says withdrawn also but I handed in my signed offer letter last night.
