My RN husband and I will be moving to seattle in the next year or so. Does anyone have any opinions on northwest hospital, harborview hospital, or the swedish medical hospitals? THese are the three that we are looking at applying to but would like to get some ideas of what to expect and which ones are the best to work at. Thanks for any help that you could give to me. I am really glad to be a part of this forum site. IT is really a big help.

If you can work at UW. They are the best in the area. Seattle Children's is ok, just big and has a 'cold' feeling to the unit. I haven't heard great things about Swedish. If you like little, go to Overlake in Bellevue--15 beds, Level 3 but no surgeries or really sick ones. Hope this helps!
