Its been a few months since your post but I know the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center just posted some Summer Nurse Tech positions. The positions close in the next week. It requires you to come up here for an Orientation in Late may on a Friday and all day Saturday.

I only know about these because of friend of mine os in the same situation. Our group always hires Summer Nurse Tech's.

Best of luck

Here is an email that was sent out on working as a Nurse Tech for UWMC in Seattle. I think this is the same opportunity that JLoya was referring to.
