I work at a hospital in the northern end of Seattle.
All of the hospitals have something good about them. Just make sure if you are looking at King County hospitals that you factor in your parking costs in addition to your other work expenses.
There are unions - Your dues will be about $650 a year. It is WSNA or SEIU, depending on where you work.
There is overtime offered, but it isn't mandatory. Nurse to patient ratios vary by unit, but you can expect about a 6:1 ratio on average.
