HRN is the best agency in my opinion for travel in Seattle. Cami there really does so much for the nurses.
Seattle has several top-notch hospitals to work at. University of WA and Swedish are both very large hospitals with excellent support for nurses. Harborview is great too and is the Level 1 Trauma center for the whole NW US. I don't know if they use travelers anymore....?
Thank you for answering my question. I have heard nothing but good things about the hospitals you mentioned. Thanks again

I traveled in L&D to Swedish & loved it! The hospital seems very interested in it's reputation and quality of care. I had a week long hospital orientation that the regular employees have to take. The people were very helpful & most were glad to have travelers. I plan to go back to Seattle in the summer.
I dont know much about UW. Of course being at Swedish the nurses dogged UW....u know how that is.
